Chapter 530: Finally Climbing
Because Xie Baijiu boarded the ship, Chun Hui had to pretend to cover up his identity as a woman, so when Luo Tangji changed into dry clothes, Lan Ting no longer stayed in the cabin, and asked Chu Chu to set up another table of wine and food on the deck to provide Xie Baijiu with a convenient scene.
"Wasn't Brother Xie invited to the Dongfeng Pavilion? Why did it appear on the Qinhuai River again in a blink of an eye? Regarding this elusive whereabouts, Lan Ting naturally needed to express his doubts.
"Don't mention it." Xie Baijiu shook his head and sighed: "It was in the Dongfeng Pavilion that I met the old man, how did I know that he and the girl of Mumo were not speculative, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time even if he was tired, and it was invited by this old man to board a pleasure boat to drink and reminisce, how did he know that the old man was not strong enough to drink and lie down first, and the driver also knew, it was inconvenient to pay for the wine today, so the owner of the boat thought that he wanted to eat the overlord meal and couldn't wake up the old man in the bottom, so he actually pushed the man into the Qinhuai River!" ”
"It's worth it." Although Lan Ting said that he was angry, his expression was very calm: "If you want to buy people's lives for the sake of a meal, Brother Xie has to report to the official to seek justice." ”
"It's better to settle the matter." Xie Baijiu hurriedly said: "Although he is not a celebrity, he is really embarrassed to make this turmoil, and because he was forced to ask for wine at that time, he did not have inappropriate words, which angered the owner of the boat, and the boat boat in the Qinhuai River came and went, and the owner of the boat also knew that he would not make a fuss, it was nothing more than to make a mess in the whereabouts. ”
Followed by a toast, courteously asking Lan Ting's name and surname, and saying a trick of reciprocating the grace of a drop of water, Lan Ting also accepted Xie Baijiu's conversation, and the two of them fell into their stomachs with three cups and two lamps, and they really looked like people who were destined to be familiar at first sight.
If you can drink the wine, you will naturally speak deeply.
"Today, Zhao Langjun also met the Chu Chu girl from the Zuisheng Pavilion, I don't know how he thinks it compares to the Mu Mo girl?"
"I haven't met the Mumo girl in the next place, so it's really not appropriate to comment."
"I'm really confused, I forgot that Zhao Langjun has never met the Mumo girl, and today I regret that Zhao Lang's companion seems to be more interested in the Drunken Life Pavilion, causing Zhao Langjun to pass through the Dongfeng Pavilion but have a relationship with the owner of the museum."
"That's clumsy."
Xie Baijiu then made a very deliberate swing: "Zhao Lang's companion turned out to be ...... It's really unexpected! ”
"Chu Chu's talent and temperament are deeply admired and loved by Clumsy Jing, and I feel that this trip is worth it, and I am fortunate to get acquainted."
Xie Baijiu was obviously stunned, he really couldn't tell the truth or falsehood of Lan Ting's words, and after laughing twice, he no longer insisted on Mu Mo's words, and asked Lan Ting according to the plan whether he planned to stay in Jinling City or just passing through.
"It's only been a few days, and I'm going to go to Zhejiang in the near future."
"It's a coincidence, I also want to travel to Zhejiang, I don't know if I am lucky enough to be able to walk with Zhao Lang?"
"Yes."
So Xie Baijiu achieved his goal, asked about Lan Ting's itinerary, and agreed to meet again at Xuanhuadu at the East Gate in a few days.
Xie Baijiu said goodbye first, but Chun Hui had already agreed with Chu Chu and Chen Shi on the details of the capital injection partnership, and after a reluctant temporary goodbye, he followed Lan Ting to the inn where they arrived at the ten miles of Qin Huai in the next day, as soon as he entered the door, he saw His Royal Highness King Zhou with a dark face coming to him, Chun Gui was unwilling to take care of this person, covered his mouth and yawned, and pulled Lan Ting's sleeves: "I'm so sleepy." ”
Zhou Wangman
I couldn't vent my grievances, and I still had a dark face helplessly: "The third brother is sleepy, go back to the room to rest early, I still have important things to discuss with the eldest brother." There were two big words "threat" written in a pair of eyes.
Lan Ting was helpless, so she had to shake her head at Chungui, Chungui also understood Lan Ting's helplessness as a courtier, and she was very talkative, and she really couldn't look at King Zhou's eyes today, as long as she didn't have to be with this person anymore.
King Zhou also brushed his sleeves away, leaving Lan Ting alone in the courtyard of the inn, and Vice Envoy Zhao was not as good-natured as King Zhou.
The reasonable, dignified golden branches and jade leaves were rejected from the painting boat, which did hurt his self-esteem a little.
King Zhou inquired about Lan Ting and Chun Gui staying in this inn before booking a room, but because it was booked a little late, only the B-shaped room was free, which was naturally not as luxurious and comfortable as the Kyushu Inn, and there was only a round table and a few chairs in front of the bed in the guest room.
The good-natured deputy envoy Zhao took the kettle and poured out two "big pot teas" for himself and King Zhou, who had no trace of heat, and he took the lead in tasting it, but felt that he could still quench his thirst, so he took another sip of the boss.
King Zhou's brows were almost furrowed into a dead pimple.
"Zhao Jibei, didn't you consciously explain and explain, why didn't Chu Chu and I talk to each other? What do you mean by the two of you having tea and wine on the Changyu Ferry and not excluding this king? ”
Lan Ting put down the teacup and sighed: "Your Highness is really too quick to have other subordinates, and when it comes to these private matters of Your Highness, it is really inconvenient for the minister and the inner son to ask, but who let the inner son and the princess have sisterhood even though they are not related by blood?" His Royal Highness is already tempted by Mu Mo, and it is not good to hide Neiko, who will inevitably be upset for the princess after hearing about it, and will naturally have grievances against His Royal Highness, but Neiko is not an unreasonable person, and he is just depressed for a while, so he will not delay his business for this. ”
King Zhou: ???
"Who says I have a different heart? Zhao Lanting, you turned out to be such a villain, and you were slandered in the back! ”
Lanting: ???
King Zhou was anxious and almost said that he would send Mu Mo back to Kyoto immediately, but fortunately, he still retained a little sobriety, his chest rose and fell for a while, and he slapped Lan Ting on the shoulder: "I really acted as a villain this time, it's just that I did it myself!" Please Deputy Envoy Zhao Uncle Zhao, I will explain to my eldest aunt, of course I will not let down the princess, as long as the princess does not approve, Mu Mo will not want to enter the gate of the Zhou Palace! ”
After saying this, King Zhou withdrew his slap and gave it to himself again: "I am confused by the two of you, even if the princess approves, I can't take Mu Mo as a concubine, Mu Mo is obviously your confidant!" ”
I can't see that Zhao Jibu is such a sinister villain!
Lan Ting saw that King Zhou was about to jump on the beam of the house and swear by the curse, and couldn't help but wonder if he was really too careful this time? Rubbing his brows, he was a little embarrassed: "Who let His Highness talk like that earlier, causing me a misunderstanding, but I was sad for a long time." ”
King Zhou: ......
It took a long time for Junchen to get back to the point, and talked about Xie Baijiu's strangeness.
"We arrived at the Kyushu guest post to arrange people to go to watch, this one back and forth at least half an hour, the spies went to Jiuhuixiang, Xie Baijiu was still eating and drinking there, so the spies easily found out that he was staying in the Taipingli Bada Stack, and inquired that Xie Baijiu really stayed here for a month, and don't look at him as if he was traveling alone, he even brought a lot of entourage, like us, rented a courtyard to live, our spies just found out about these feelings
Besides, there happened to be an entourage who went back to Bada Inn, and although he couldn't listen to what Xie Baijiu said, his entourage actually came out of Bada Stack and went straight to the Kyushu Guest Station, no doubt that Xie Baijiu also sent eyes and ears to keep an eye on us. King Zhou sneered.
This obviously confirmed Lan Ting's initial judgment that Xie Baijiu's appearance in the Nine Rounds of Incense was not accidental.
"The other party's spies should have found that I and Neiko were going to Qinhuai for ten miles, and rushed to report to Xie Baijiu, so there were two 'chance encounters' today." Lanting Road.
King Zhou had already heard Xie Baijiu's request on the Changyu Ferry at this time, and slightly squinted at the corners of his lightly raised eyes: "Xie Baijiu seems to be intending to approach us, don't deliberately allow him to go with him, there must be a plan, and there is no need to sell Guan Zi now, I always have to know how to cooperate at that time." ”
"I thought that Xie Baijiu's approach to our purpose was really a little confusing."
"What do you say?"
"His climbing seems to be so deliberate, if I want to do this, I can't find out that he has suspicious intentions, and it's not worth Xie Baijiu's mastermind behind him to spend so much effort to deal with, Xie Baijiu is deliberately startling the snake, so how can we be fooled by his plan to dissociate this time?" Lan Ting stretched out his index finger and tapped lightly on the round table in this guest room: "The mastermind behind us can understand that we did not go with our family and went to Jiangnan, this plot is better than that of the Qi Wang Party, so it is not difficult to guess who the mastermind is." ”
King Zhou also made a judgment after a little silence: "Zheng Xiu, Duke of Wei? ”
"Wei Guogong acted cautiously, since he arranged for Xie Baijiu to rush to Jinling before us, how could he not have imagined that letting this group of eyes and ears stay in the inn for a month is an obvious flaw, and it is very easy for us to detect the strangeness, if he really wants to do a divisive plan, he will not let Xie Baijiu be exposed so easily."
With Zheng Xiu's ability, of course, he could arrange a private house for Xie Baijiu and his group to live in, so that even if Lan Ting suspected that Xie Baijiu had another origin, it would be quite difficult to confirm, such as finding out whether Xie Baijiu had only recently come to Jinling or had been living here, and if this point could not be determined, Lan Ting would not be able to determine whether Xie Baijiu's appearance was aimed at King Zhou's supervision of Jiangnan.
Of course, if Zheng Xiu really wanted Xie Baijiu to achieve the goal of approaching them, he would not have instructed such a deliberate climbing.
Lan Ting had already paid attention to the Wei State Mansion a long time ago, but until now, he still thinks that the so-called hidden information he is aware of is actually something that Zheng Xiu intends to let him know, Zheng Xiu is well versed in the method of tracking, so how could Xie Baijiu's matter of installing eyes and ears to track the Kyushu guest post this time be easily exposed?
Don't say that Zheng Xiu is Zheng Xiu, Xie Baijiu is Xie Baijiu, a coach's strategy cannot determine the ability of the generals under his command, Lan Ting is very sure that Zheng Xiu will never make such a ridiculous mistake in knowing people and being good at work.
"So since Xie Baijiu already knows our identity, and knows that we also know that he is ordered by others, why does His Highness need to hide it anymore?"
The meaning of this is that there is no need for any cooperation from King Zhou.
"As for what's next...... In fact, I don't have any exact plans, in short, let Xie Baijiu only get on our ship first, and then see you and dismantle it. Lan Ting Shi Ran got up: "The more he says and the more he does, the more clues he reveals." ”
King Zhou watched Lan Ting salute, turned around, and pushed the door until one foot had stepped over the threshold......
"Don't go to the toilet, wait, I'll be with you."
Lanting: ......
The extremely strange eyes turned back to stare at King Zhou.
