Chapter 6: She's Back
Yue Yunze, who looked like a native of the Southern Wei Dynasty, turned out to be the master of two high-level spies in the Northern Barbarians, this discovery is a little puzzling.
Du Xiaomeng remembered that it was mentioned in the book that the Qingning County Guard found that Zhan Qi was secretly hiding Beiban spies, and also mentioned that it was his concubine who testified that he had colluded with Beiban for a long time. Who else is his concubine? It must be Qiusha, and the so-called hidden Northern Barbarian spy should also be Qiusha. And Qiu Sha is Yue Yunze's subordinate, so the things that will happen next should be inseparable from Yue Yunze.
After such inference, Du Xiaomeng felt that the identities of Shangguan Hong and Qiu Sha should be double agents, they served the Southern Wei Dynasty, infiltrated the core of the Northern Barbarian regime and became spies, and then pretended to work for the Northern Barbarians to Qiyang to seek information. Such a double agent status allows them to easily obtain the information of the two countries, Beiban and Qi Yang, and hand over this information to the real master behind it.
If her speculation is correct, then the identity of Yue Yunze, who can make them work for them, is definitely not simple. Yue Yunze, whose identity is not simple, appeared with Shangguan Hong and Qiusha in Qingning County, which borders Qiyang and Southern Wei and had turmoil not long ago, for what?
There were too many question marks in his head, and Du Xiaomeng felt that his brain was a little insufficient. At this time, she suddenly remembered the scheming and hidden Yu Tianzhenglai. If he could tell everything he knew, he might be able to solve all the mysteries soon. However, Qingning County, a southern city and county, is far away from Qiyang's capital, and she is now penniless and in a spy den, and it is unlikely that she will go to the capital to find Yu Tianzheng or write to him. The only thing that can be done now is to stay here to find out the situation, try to gain Yue Yunze's trust, and strive to replace the position of the extraordinary key person recorded in the book, the "little concubine", in the near future, and become the person who betrayed Zhan Qi.
Then, the top priority is to establish a good relationship of trust with Yue Yunzetao. On the surface, Yue Yunze should be the type who doesn't trust others easily and is difficult to approach, but Du Xiaomeng feels that he still has a chance. Because, when he first looked at himself, a fleeting look of surprise flashed on his face, and he saw a familiar look in his eyes, that kind of look had appeared many times in Yu Tianzheng's eyes.
Before, she was regarded as the late princess by Yu Tianzheng, so which old woman did Yue Yunze see her?
Qiu Sha, who pushed the door in, interrupted Du Xiaomeng's thoughts.
I saw Qiu Sha holding a rice bowl in one hand and a pile of clothes in the other, striding in with an expressionless face. She put the bowl on the table, threw a bunch of clothes on Du Xiaomeng's body, and said coldly: "You are about to change your clothes!" ”
"Trouble girl." Du Xiaomeng smiled at her and lowered her head, staring at the steaming bowl of rice on the table. What a surprise, the rice was surprisingly covered with a layer of steamed pork with shrimp sauce, which was a hometown dish she loved and hadn't eaten for a long time.
The familiar aroma of shrimp paste was lingering, and she stared at the bowl of rice with glowing eyes, swallowing her saliva and saying, "This girl, I'll change it after eating." ”
"No way!" Qiu Sha's cold tone raised a little, "Change your clothes immediately and return Childe's cloak." ”
Steamed pork with shrimp sauce should be eaten hot to get the best salty and fresh taste, so that when it is cold, the salty and fresh will taste salty, and the taste will be greatly reduced. Du Xiaomeng didn't want to see Qiusha as the number one person, and then looked at her current attitude, so she didn't be polite to her: "Girl, you're so strange, the clothes are on me, I can change them whenever I like." ”
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Sha's face sank. Du Xiaomeng recalled her demeanor when she looked at Yue Yunze before, so she pretended to be innocent and ignorant, looked at her with puzzled eyes and continued: "Also, this cloak was put on me by your son-in-law, you also saw it, I wanted to pay him back just now, but he didn't have to let me wear it." Your son-in-law is not in a hurry to ask me to go back, why are you in such a hurry, girl? ”
Qiusha has always been an empathetic and intelligent person, Du Xiaomeng's words sounded in her ears, which meant "Your son-in-law doesn't accept your affection but has to be good to me, can you control it"? Envy, jealousy and hatred crushed her heart in turn, but she secretly gritted her teeth to prevent her emotions from being revealed, and let out a soft smile as if nothing happened, and said: "What Miss Liu said is extremely true, I have a lot of trouble. ”
is worthy of being a person who is used to being a spy, and he can suppress his feelings and be even more calm.
Du Xiaomeng picked up the rice bowl and sent a large mouthful of rice mixed with shrimp sauce and steamed pork to his mouth, enjoying the familiar taste with satisfaction. While eating, he glanced at Qiusha, who was still standing next to her and kept smiling, well, that delicate face smiled, even if it was hypocritically forced to laugh, it was quite good-looking, but she didn't like it. So, she put down her rice bowl and looked out at the door, and said with a worried look on her face: "By the way, my son-in-law's face was not very good just now, and he was helped back to the room after coughing for a while, is he okay?" ”
Hearing Du Xiaomeng say this, the smile on Qiu Sha's face was immediately replaced by a nervous look, and she turned around and ran out. Du Xiaomeng watched her hurriedly run to the opposite room, but stopped in front of the door, raised her hand and wanted to knock on the door, but after hesitating for a moment, she put it down again, and then lowered her hand and stood to the side motionless and looked at the closed door.
Looking at the lonely back in the cold wind, I really feel pity.
Qiu Sha is not only a good interpreter flower, but also a first-class beauty who can fascinate people when she laughs, and can make people's hearts ache when she shows a sad look, no wonder Zhan Qi was so fascinated by her that he ignored the old man's dissatisfaction, and he had to spoil her alone. But it's a pity, what she loves is someone else, even if Zhan Qi is good and spoiled by her, she can resolutely calculate and betray ruthlessly, and without the slightest hesitation, she will be ruthless.
But, what's even more regrettable is that judging from the scene seen so far, Qiu Sha is afraid that the goddess has no dreams.
It's a sin to let a delicate beauty stand outside and suffer from the cold wind! But such a scene made Du Xiaomeng look very pleasant, she ate in a good mood while watching, and quickly ate up a bowl of rice. put down his rice bowl and wanted to close the door to change clothes, but before he could stand up, he saw the big man named Ah Hu and a man in gray appear in sight, and when they were about to walk to Yue Yunze's door, the man in gray paused and looked at her. The man in gray was about forty years old, with a thin face and a sharp gaze.
Seeing the sharp eyes of the man in gray looking at him, although he didn't know what his origin was, Du Xiaomeng still met his gaze generously, stood up and walked to the door, owed him a debt and smiled politely.
The gray-clothed man's sharp gaze swept over Du Xiaomeng's face, and then fell on the royal blue cloak she was wearing. He retracted his gaze, took a few steps forward, gently pushed open Yue Yunze's door, turned his head and said to Ah Hu and Qiu Sha, who were standing on the side, who wanted to follow him into the house, "You all stand down, just take care of my son." ”
Ah Hu answered and walked away, Qiu Sha looked at the house worriedly and wanted to say something, but she didn't even see Yue Yunze's figure before the door was quickly closed, she looked at the closed door, lowered her head sadly and left silently.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to see, Du Xiaomeng also turned around and went back to the house to close the door to change clothes.
In Yue Yunze's room, there was a burning fire, and Yue Yunze, who was not very good-looking, hugged the quilt and half-lay on the bed in the middle with his eyes closed.
Seeing the man in gray coming in, Shangguan Hong, who was standing beside the bed, immediately called respectfully, "Mr. Zhao." ”
Yue Yunze slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand to Shangguan Hong, and said, "Stand down." ”
"Yes."
Mr. Zhao sat down in front of the bed without saying a word, took Yue Yunze's hand and took his pulse.
Hearing that Guan Hong was out of the room, Yue Yunze raised his eyes to look at Mr. Zhao, a smile appeared on his pale face, and said softly, "Uncle, she's back." ”
Mr. Zhao checked the pulse for him, put his hand back into the quilt, and said calmly, "Your Highness is too worried." I've seen her just now, it's just that people are similar, and she's not a mother. ”
"Nope." Yue Yunze shook his head stubbornly, "I saw her fall from the sky with my own eyes, it will never be as simple as people being similar. ”
Mr. Zhao sighed and said, "It's been so many years, why can't His Highness accept the reality?"
Yue Yunze coughed, and Mr. Zhao hurriedly patted him on the back.
After a while, Yue Yunze gasped for breath and looked at Mr. Zhao with blank eyes, and said weakly: "Back then, she promised me that I would come back, and she never lied to me. ”
Although Mr. Zhao had heard Ah Hu talk about the vision of the girl when she appeared on the way over, and had also heard Ah Hu describe the demonic things on her body vividly, he never believed that people who had been dead for many years would be resurrected, so he still said to Yue Yunze firmly: "Even if that girl is similar to Niangniang's appearance, she is just a stranger of unknown origin. Your Highness, don't forget that before a major event is accomplished, you can't give birth to any branches to disturb the overall situation, let alone carelessly ruin years of hard work. ”
Yue Yunze lowered his eyes and said lightly: "What I have done all these years is just for her, if it is really her who comes back, what if it is ruined by years of hard work?" ”
Looking at Yue Yunze's dark eyes, the expression on Mr. Zhao's face did not change in the slightest, and he didn't say any more words of persuasion, just bent over to help him lie down, and said calmly: "Your Highness is unwell, so you shouldn't think too much about it." Rest well in the house, don't go out to get cold, I'm going to decoct medicine for Your Highness. ”
He turned around to leave, Yue Yunze reached out and grabbed his sleeve and said, "Uncle, she is just an ordinary weak woman, don't embarrass her." ”
"Of course." Mr. Zhao turned around and smiled kindly at Yue Yunze, "Since she is a guest of His Highness, I will naturally treat her with courtesy." ”
