Chapter 135: Haunted
"Little sea pepper?" Tianling looked at Qiao Mianzhi, who jumped into the car, and was a little surprised, "Aren't you the chief of the Gyeonggi Guard?" Why do you leave Beijing at every turn? โ
"It's just a little guard, anyone can go on top, why can't you leave?" Qiao Mianzhi said.
"Who is this?" Tianling looked at the man wearing the hood and asked Qiao Mianzhi, "How are you?" โ
"You said that you are so young, why are your thoughts so impure?" Qiao Mianzhi glared at Tianling angrily, "He is..."
"I'm Mr. Gu." The man wearing the hat took off the hat and revealed his face, it was Mr. Gu that Tianling saw in the academy yesterday.
"Mr. Gu? Do you also go to Ostyu? "Tianling saw that the Eighth Prince regarded himself as Mr. Gu and did not reveal his identity.
The Eighth Prince nodded, "Go over and deal with a little thing." โ
"Are you taking a leave of absence?" Heavenly Spirit looked at the Eighth Prince.
"Just like you, a month." The Eighth Prince replied.
"A month!" Heavenly Spirit exclaimed, "You actually took a month's leave! โ
"What's wrong with a month?" The eighth prince glanced at Tianling, "The students have taken a month's leave, so Mr. can't take a vacation?" โ
"You are the gentleman of the ink curtain class, you are gone, what will happen to the other students in the class?" The sense of responsibility for teaching and educating people in Tianling's bones inadvertently came out again, "Most of the students have no self-control, if there is no husband to watch and manage, I don't know what will happen to the chaos." โ
"It's okay, don't worry about it." The eighth prince waved his hand indifferently, "The meaning of the ink curtain class I told you yesterday is all made up, in fact, this name is a homonym, that is, the end class, all of which are picked by other gentlemen or not, just throw them to me, and it is the same if someone cares about it or not." โ
Tianling disagreed with this approach very much, and wanted to open his mouth to refute it, but was stopped by the Eighth Prince, "I won't tell you this, I have more important things to tell you." โ
"What's the matter?" Tianling looked at the Eighth Prince suspiciously.
"There are some problems in the city of Chongzhou now, and it is said that it is haunted." The Eighth Prince spoke.
โยทยทยทยทยทยทโ As a staunch materialist practitioner, Tianling was a little scornful of such words.
"It is rumored that anyone who steps into the city of Chongzhou will be haunted by evil spirits, and soon his face will be blue and gray, his eyes will be blank, and finally his limbs will be weakened and his soul will be sucked dry and he will die." Seeing that Tianling didn't speak, the Eighth Prince deliberately frightened, "Maybe the famous doctor you want to visit has already been drained." โ
"Listening to what you said, it doesn't look like it's haunted by evil spirits, it's more like it's poisoned." Tian Ling looked at the Eighth Prince, "In addition to the symptoms you mentioned, can those people still see some scenes that others can't see?" โ
"You've heard?" The eighth prince was a little surprised, how did he know the news he had just gotten here? What did the royal brother tell him?
"Guess." Heavenly Spirit's expression was calm.
"You just said, it's like poisoning, have you ever seen this symptom?" The eighth prince asked.
"I haven't seen anyone, I'm not sure." Heavenly Spirit shook his head, "However, if it's really what I thought, it's going to be troublesome." โ
Tianling's face was a little solemn, it seems that this trip to Chongzhou is dangerous.
"What? Scared? The eighth prince looked at Tianling's expression, and punned on it, "It's too late to regret it now, looking for a famous doctor is to ask for life, not to give birth." While the carriage has not gone far, go back and take care of it, and you can survive for a few days. โ
"There is no turning back from the bow." Tianling shook his head slightly, "And this matter is not up to me, whether I want to or not, I have to go this way." โ
"Also, my life is not in my own hands." The Eighth Prince looked at Tianling fixedly, "Have you ever complained about your bad life?" Didn't vote for a good family? โ
"Resentment? Why complain? Tianling was asked inexplicably, "It's a blessing to be alive, it's too late to be happy, why complain?" โ
"You think so." The eighth prince didn't speak again, put his hat on his face, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Seeing him like this, Tianling secretly took out a delicate pouch from his arms, and then rubbed it next to Qiao Mianzhi, "Little sea pepper, beef jerky, do you want to eat it?" โ
Qiao Mianzhi, who had just listened to Tianling's words, suddenly straightened his eyes, looking at the beef jerky in Tianling's hand and nodding wildly.
"You play games with me, and I'll give you food." Tianling clutched the pouch tightly, "Truth or dare, do you want to play?" โ
"How to play?" Qiao Mianzhi pulled her gaze back from the beef jerky and looked at Tianling.
Tian Ling showed a big smile, carefully introduced the gameplay of Truth or Dare to Qiao Mianzhi, and then continued, "If you lose, you can choose Truth or Dare, if you win, in addition to letting me choose Truth or Dare, you can also win a piece of beef jerky." โ
"How about winning or losing without dice?" Tian Ling said as he stuffed a piece of beef jerky into his mouth.
"It's not fair, why can you eat beef jerky first?" Qiao Mianzhi protested.
"I brought the beef jerky." Tianling raised his eyebrows, "If you don't accept it, I won't give it to you." โ
"Don't promise, he's a little fox, you can't play with him." The hated Eight Princes on the opposite side didn't move, but the voice came.
Seeing Qiao Mianzhi hesitate, Tianling said again, "If you're afraid that I will tease you, you can just choose the truth." โ
As soon as these words came out, the hooded Eighth Prince remembered the fear of being dominated when he played brain teasers with Tianling before, and while sympathizing with Qiao Mianzhi in his heart, he was a little gloating.
Qiao Mianzhi thought about it, she didn't have any ulterior secrets, so if she lost later, as long as she chose the truth, she wouldn't have anything to lose, thinking about it like this, coupled with the temptation of beef jerky, Qiao Mianzhi nodded immediately.
In the first round, Tianling lost, and Qiao Mianzhi chose a piece of beef jerky.
In the second round, Qiao Mianzhi lost and chose the truth.
Tianling looked at Qiao Mianzhi, "What are you doing in Chongzhou?" โ
"I'm also looking for a famous doctor." Qiao Mianzhi said.
"It's the truth, you can't lie." Heavenly Spirit Dao.
"I'm not lying, I'm going to help you find a famous doctor." Qiao Mianzhi continued, "I and Jiang Sangongzi met at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and we forgot to make friends, and when I heard that you were going to Chongzhou to find a famous doctor, I couldn't rest assured, so I took leave with the Wei Institute, and I can also help you when I walk with you." โ
ยทยทยทยทยทยท forgetting the year, the corners of Tianling's mouth twitched, this year has not been forgotten for a long time!
"Do you know Mr. Gu?" Tianling looked at the Eighth Prince, who was opposite, and asked out loud.
"That's the second question." Qiao Mianzhi pointed to the pouch containing beef jerky in Tianling, "Swap it for beef jerky." โ
"Say it." Tian Ling took out a piece of beef jerky and put it in Qiao Mianzhi's hand.
"I don't know." Qiao Mianzhi shook her head.
"Then why are you waiting for me at the city gate?" Heavenly Spirit asked.
Qiao Mianzhi kept silent, raised her hand slightly, and signaled that Tianling should give beef jerky.
Tianling grabbed a handful from the pouch and stuffed it into Qiao Mianzhi's hand, "Finish it at once!" โ
"He said he was the gentleman of your academy and came to see you off." Qiao Mianzhi said and glanced at the eighth prince opposite, "As for why I got in the car, I don't know." โ
"That's it?" Tianling was stunned, pointed at the Eighth Prince, and asked, "You really don't recognize him?" โ
"I don't recognize it." Qiao Mianzhi shook her head, "However, although I haven't seen it, I always feel like I know each other." โ
"I didn't go to Chongzhou to seek medical treatment, that's a pretext." Heavenly Spirit Dao.
"Oh, you're not sick, are you?" Qiao Mianzhi bit the beef jerky and was not shocked, "Then you went to find a famous doctor to change your face?" Think you're not good enough? Blame me for this, being too handsome makes you ashamed of yourself. โ
"No, I'm sick." Tianling sat up straight, "If you weren't sick, how could you forget that you were an unobtrusive peacock." โ
"Actually, you're pretty good-looking." Qiao Mianzhi said, "It's just a little worse than me, if you give me the whole bag of beef jerky, I can consider wearing a hat like your husband, so that you don't have to see my face often, and your heart will feel better." โ
"You can shut up." Tianling twisted his head, and he didn't want to talk to Qiao Mianzhi anymore.
"Meow!" When Wang Xiping, who was dormant, heard the sentence that he could shut up, his meow body was shocked, dry meow? He didn't speak, and the master shut himself up like this?
"I didn't say you." Tianling touched Wang Xiping's head.
"The cat that Jiang Shan picked up? Still raising him? When the eighth prince heard the cat's meow, he took the hat off his face, and after catching a glimpse of Wang Xiping, he asked.
Tianling paused, immediately looked up at Qiao Mianzhi, and glanced at him.
Qiao Mianzhi reacted quickly and said, "Jiang Shan? Have you all been to Jiang Mountain? When did you go? โ
After that, he stretched his neck and glanced at Wang Xiping, "Huh? This cat looks familiar. โ
"Such cats are common, and they all look similar." Tianling pretended to press Wang Xiping into his arms.
"You've also been to Jiang Mountain?" Qiao Mianzhi said, "When the Jingjiang Official Road was built, I was the escort of the superintendent and the prisoner, and I spent a period of time in Jiangshan. โ
"I took him on a study tour." Seeing Qiao Mianzhi's reaction like this, the eighth prince believed what he said before that he met Tianling at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and concluded that Qiao Mianzhi should not have discovered the identity of Tianling, and made up a reason without changing his face.
"I see." Qiao Mianzhi put a piece of beef jerky in his mouth and bit it halfway, chewed it and spit it out, "Why does this piece taste a little salty?" โ
Tianling glanced at the sweat in Qiao Mianzhi's palms, and then looked at the remaining half of the somewhat moist beef jerky, feeling that it was a miracle that this son could react so quickly just now.
The carriage went all the way, and the eighth prince disappeared from time to time for a while, just like before in Jiang Mountain.
Tianling and Qiao Mianzhi pretended not to know, and even tried their best to create opportunities for the Eighth Prince.
For example, Qiao Mianzhi would practice sword skills in a timely manner, and Tianling would look through the books and classics he brought with him, and then gradually, the time when the Eighth Prince disappeared began to go with Tianling's time.
"Look, I tell him to go when I say it, let him go when he wants." Tianling put down the book and looked at Qiao Mianzhi, who also put down the knife, "Instead of being controlled by others, it is better to obey yourself." โ
"What are you going to do?" Qiao Mianzhi asked Tianlingdao, "I'll be in Chongzhou soon, the goods you said are now detained in the government, and the government won't let go, you can't take the goods." โ
"It's easy to get the government to let you go." Tian Ling was not worried about this problem at all, he had the token given by the emperor in his hand, and it was easy to take away a batch of detained goods from the official palace.
It can be said that in terms of business, the hand of the eldest prince cannot reach as long as his.
"If you're sure." Qiao Mianzhi said, "The closer you get to Chongzhou, the more the rumor that it is haunted here, whether it is true or not, it is not a good thing, after transporting the goods out, we quickly leave." โ
"If this can be the case, it will be good, but what I'm worried about now is that there is a problem with this batch of goods." Tianling said, "Before I came, the people of the eldest prince told me that the person in charge of this business had omitted this batch of goods, and it fell into the hands of the government by mistake. โ
"However, as far as I know, this batch of so-called precious medicinal materials was seized by the government at the beginning, and people were also arrested, and the eldest prince asked me to come, so I was asked to be a scapegoat."
"If my guess is correct, as soon as I go to the government, I will be identified as the mastermind behind the scenes."
"Are you still here? You are crazy? Qiao Mianzhi now knew that there was such a deep conspiracy hidden behind this matter, and she jumped to her feet angrily, "If I don't follow, do you want to break into this Longtan tiger's den alone?" It seems that you should indeed go to a famous doctor and take a good look at your brain! โ
"I will teach your family for nine days, it's no problem to escape, and Wang Xiping will protect me." Tianling smiled, "But I'm very happy to have you coming, thank you!" โ
"There are a lot of light skills, just your two strokes, the true qi is still passed on to you by me, so you think you can be invincible in the world? Wang Xiping? The cat you picked up? Qiao Mianzhi scoffed, "Be obedient, don't be hysterical." โ
Tianling is not good at explaining Wang Xiping's existence to others, smiled lightly, did not refute, and continued the previous words, "The most important thing now is to find out the specific situation of the eldest prince's batch of goods. โ
"Maybe the government of Chongzhou doesn't know that it's the business of the eldest prince? After all, it is not a glorious thing for people in the royal family to do these things, they are all carried out secretly. Qiao Mianzhi said.
"You have a point." Heavenly Spirit nodded in agreement, "But although they won't stand on the surface, they will more or less give some privileges to the people who help them do things, and open the door for themselves." โ
For example, he made money for the emperor, the token that the emperor gave him and the holy decree of building a post post.
"The goods and people that the eldest prince can't get out can only show that this batch of goods has reached the point where he will lose his head if he covers it." Tianling continued, "So when we enter Chongzhou City, we will first hold our troops and figure out the specific situation, and then decide whether to go to the government to pick up the goods." โ
"If that batch of goods is just precious medicinal materials, I naturally have a way to transport them away, if there is a problem with that batch of goods, even if I disobey the order of the eldest prince and go back to be punished, I will not help the abuse."
