The shopkeeper brought breakfast up, interrupting everyone's conversation, and after the breakfast was set on the table, everyone ate seriously, and no one said a word more.

After breakfast, Guo Jiutai was going to visit Lu Wu somewhere else, so he left two officials in the store and took the rest away.

At the critical moment, manpower was already stretched, and there were so many losses in the early morning, and even fewer people he could call.

But General Mu only cares about whether he can catch Lu Wu. In the heat, he didn't even pay attention.

Guo Jiutai went to investigate the case with a sad heart.

Qu Xiaobai finished eating breakfast and dragged Yang Ling back to the house to catch up on sleep. Yang Ling's slight dark circles showed her that he hadn't slept well last night.

Guo Jiutai searched for a whole day, but he couldn't find a person named Lu Wu, but he had accurately brought Mu Nanyun's words to every traveler from other places, and he could be regarded as not living up to Mu Nanyun's trust.

At night, Guo Jiutai was as tired as a dog, so he simply didn't go back to Qingshan County, and stayed at the Qingyun Inn in Baima Town.

Originally, Zhenbao prepared a place for him to live, but he refused. This Qingyun Inn, which hides the dragon and crouching tiger, is as deep as it is for him to live in it. Into the tiger's den is a meaning.

The guest rooms of Qingyun Inn were occupied by Lu Xiaoxiao's people, and only one room was left next to Lu Wu, and Guo Jiutai could only live in that one.

After arranging the accommodation, Guo Jiutai went to the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, leaned on a rocking chair, looked around, and found that the courtyard was quiet, and there was no one who spoke loudly.

Even Qu Xiaobai, who has always talked a lot, didn't make a sound.

At this time, Qu Xiaobai was crooked on the recliner, holding a book bought on the street in his hand, and looked at it without a glance.

It is true that her mind is not in books, but all on Yang Ling. Yesterday's events, no matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel right. The rivers and lakes are in trouble, the killers failed to kill and all of their limbs were abolished, so they should naturally be determined to die, but they went to the county government to complain, or make false accusations, which is really not what a killer should do.

Yang Ling could obviously clarify some of the information he knew with the county commander Guo Jiutai, but he didn't say it, was it because he didn't believe Guo Jiutai? If you don't believe it, why do you still want to bring him here to investigate the case?

With Guo Jiutai's ability, although he is stronger than ordinary officials, he will not be able to solve the case immediately, why should Yang Ling watch him delay time?

And Mu Nanyun's people who suddenly appeared, why did they find Xiao Chuyi who was about to get out of the shell of the golden cicada so coincidentally?

She has already learned from Du Niang that this Xiao Chuyi is the eldest prince of Di Yi, and he is the one who will inherit King Di Yi in the future, although he is not the most outstanding of King Di Yi's sons, but because he has always been very loyal to King Di Yi, he is very respected by King Di Yi.

She thinks about these mysteries, but because these mysteries are about Yang Ling, as for how the outside world makes trouble, how intrigues and tricks are treacherous, it has nothing to do with her.

She positioned herself as Yang Ling's wife first, and social person second. A social person, she naturally has to fulfill the responsibilities of a social person, but she only wants to do her best within her ability, and she doesn't want to be contaminated by the intrigues of those powerful figures.

Yang Ling woke up and found that Qu Xiaobai was not sleeping beside him, but sitting on a recliner with a book in his hand, but his eyes were staring at somewhere, with a pensive look. Because it was night, she didn't put on her makeup, and she was still the same as she was.

He lay on his side, his eyes gently falling on her face, and he didn't make a sound to disturb her.

Although she is not a peerless beauty, she is not a vulgar product, with a round face, big and round eyes, long and curled eyelashes, and small lips and nose. Long, lively, like a child, when meditating, only slightly like an adult.

Yang Ling likes to see the way she looks when she is meditating, otherwise she will always feel a little guilty and feel that she is invading. Commit a small child.

Qu Xiaobai thought for a while, tilted his head, and met Yang Ling's gentle and burning gaze, "Are you awake?" She smiled brightly.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there anything on my face? ”

"What are you thinking? I think so fascinating. Yang Ling asked rhetorically.

"Just think about it, there's nothing to think about. Now that you're awake, do you want to go down and eat? It's time. ”

"Did I sleep all day?" Yang Ling was a little surprised.

Qu Xiaobai sat up straight and yawned lazily, "Yes, you can sleep better than me." Piglet. Or I'll ask the shopkeeper to bring the food and we'll eat it in the house." ”

"It's fine."

"Then you get up and wash up, and I'll go down and order food."

Qu Xiaobai sat in front of the mirror, put on her makeup again, and then went down to order food, and when she went to the lobby, there were not many people, and the tables, chairs and benches were all cleaned up neatly, but it was Lu Xiaoxiao, who was still sitting in the lobby eating slowly and leisurely, and Lu Hun stood behind her to accompany her.

Qu Xiaobai only glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao, and then went to the counter and the shopkeeper to order some food. In the past, the store had long since stopped preparing hot food at this time, but because of the special situation these days, the shopkeeper left the cook behind today, ready to serve these seemingly large customers.

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes were fixed on Qu Xiaobai's back. The more I look at it, the more familiar it feels.

"Qu Xiaobai." She suddenly burst out and shouted.

Qu Xiaobai chuckled in his heart, but he didn't move, and continued to order food with the shopkeeper.

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at her, her eyes narrowed very thinly, her usual charm was no longer there, but instead there was a faint look of danger in her eyes, "Mu Yiling, why haven't you eaten so late?" Lu Xiaoxiao changed her tone and asked softly.

Qu Xiaobai didn't reply, and said lightly: "Does it have anything to do with you?" ”

Lu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and laughed, "A few days ago, my sister and my sister screamed, and my eyes couldn't help but look at others, but I didn't expect it, it's only been a few days, and the changes are so big." ”

Qu Xiaobai turned around, looked at her lightly, and said in a cold tone: "Didn't I have a confused brain a few days ago, and I was blinded by beauty when I saw it." But then my cousin came, and I found that my cousin's beauty was inferior to that of Miss Lu. I really can't think of anyone in the world who can compare to my cousin's appearance. She picked the corners of her lips and looked at Lu Xiaoxiao defiantly, "My cousin is a beautiful man who kills both men and women, young and old, and a person like me who loves beauty is naturally more inclined to him." ”

"I don't know what he's going to think when he hears you."

"He did whatever he wanted, and I didn't hide what kind of person I was. It's not like some people, but they can pretend. ”

Qu Xiaobai glanced at her sideways and instructed the shopkeeper: "Excuse me, my cousin hasn't eaten for a day." She spoke in a very gentle tone, which made the shopkeeper a little unbearable. After all, these days, she has always been a person who is not afraid of the sky and the earth.

Lu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she grinded her teeth behind her back: "Mu Yiling, you wait for this girl!" ”

"Wait." Qu Xiaobai threw her an indifferent long tone.

When he walked into the backyard, he bumped into Guo Jiutai, who was deeply worried, and Qu Xiaobai greeted him: "Lord Guo, why do you still walk around if you don't rest at night?" ”

Guo Jiutai's attitude seemed to accompany him carefully, "Is Chu Zhi in the room?" The county wants to talk to him. ”

"My cousin is still in the room, but he just woke up and hasn't eaten dinner yet, so I don't know if I want to talk to you."

Qu Xiaobai didn't reject him immediately, what to do, Yang Ling decided by himself, after all, this was his business.

Guo Jiutai followed Qu Xiaobai in the direction of the room, Qu Xiaobai went to Yang Chun's room to get a pot of wine, and asked Yang Chun: "Brother, do you want to go up and have a meal together?" ”

Yang Chun pondered for a moment, saw Guo Jiutai standing outside the door, decided to follow, and hugged another jar of wine.

Guo Jiutai looked at this posture, people want to drink, he follows, is it appropriate? He couldn't help muttering, but after all, he couldn't resist the numb bunch of questions in his heart to ask Yang Ling for verification, so he followed hard.

Yang Ling had already gotten up and finished washing. When he opened the door, he saw Yang Chun and Guo Jiutai following, Yang Chun and Qu Xiaobai also carried the wine jar in their hands, so they closed the door and invited them to the next room.

The next room was indeed booked by him that day, and the purpose was self-evident, to prevent the partition wall from having ears.

Qu Xiaobai came to this room for the first time and found that the layout of the room was completely different from the one they lived in, it was a large room, the room was very large, there was a big kang in the room, and a large round table.

But this is not a big bunk in the ordinary sense, because the room is quite delicately furnished, with a thick mattress on the big kang, and a velvet blanket on the mattress, and the sheets are a beautiful lilac.

This is about the equivalent of a luxury double room in a modern hotel.

Qu Xiaobai liked this room very much at a glance, and he could roll unscrupulously with Yang Ling on the big kang at night. Bed linen or something.

It's interesting.

Yang Ling looked sideways and found the "evil light" that was rubbing out of her eyes. This girl, what did she remember, her eyes are like this!

Qu Xiaobai also saw Yang Ling looking at her, carrying Yang Chun and Guo Jiutai behind her back, and threw a wink at Yang Ling's big horn.

Yang Ling: "......" Lord can't resist you, daughter-in-law, it's okay to take it easy.

The guy in the store quickly sent the food up, Qu Xiaobai asked for a wine jug and a wine glass, and the guy quickly sent it up, took the wine jar, put it in the wine jug, and poured four glasses of wine first, waited properly, and then exited the room, and said very carefully when he left: "A few masters, what are the instructions to call the small one." ”

This guy is very clever. Qu Xiaobai praised it.

"Since Master Guo has come up, let's sit down and have a drink together." Yang Chun said.

According to Yang Ling's temperament, he would never say this, so he had to do it for him.

Guo Jiutai gave a few words, but Qu Xiaobai was silently refuted by a few words, so he had to sit down and drink together.
