Chapter 097: Someone Goes Missing
"There are shadow guards in the palace? Who is so bold? β
The unbelievable voice came from Wen Moshu, the second prince of the Yuan Kingdom, across the table, Chu Ci played with the folding fan for a long time, and his face was solemn: "At first, I thought it was an assassin, but Chu Gongzi and Boss Jun said that the person didn't mean to hurt people, but it was more like someone's secret agent or shadow guard." But that person seems to be very strong in kung fu, and the routine is also very weird, I have never seen such a posture. β
"How many martial arts masters has Miss Yan seen? This comparison is a bit inappropriate. Chu Ci was bored, and the previous sentence was 'inserted', and the words were speechless.
The folding fan lightly slapped his palm and made a crackling sound, and Chu Ci, who witnessed the entire 'engagement' battle process, was not nervous at all, but showed unexpected interest: "The eavesdropping person did a good job, even Boss Jun failed to catch him, if you want to rank up in the palace, you can probably compete with Boss Jun and compete for the first and second." β
In the Longxin Palace, Yan Li watched the eavesdropper's body escape strangely, and he was quite curious about his strange kung fu, but when he heard Chu Ci say that Jun Wunian might be able to compare with the other party, that curiosity turned to the target: "Is Boss Jun's kung fu very good?" How come you've never heard of it? He looks elegant and elegant, more like a weak scholar. β
"Wrong, wrong, wrong. Even if Boss Jun doesn't show his eyes and tells people that he is a master, then he shouldn't guess what kind of scholar he is, and he must first think of the 'traitor' businessman. Chu Ci seemed to be very happy to sarcastically sarcastic others, but he would not ignore the problems that were out of his mind, raised his eyebrows and moved his gaze, and 'handed' the task of answering questions to Wen Moshu.
"Do you want me to talk about it again......" Wen Moshu smiled bitterly, took a sip of tea, and said in a harmonious voice, "Miss Yan and Boss Jun have been 'friends' for a short time, and they are not very familiar with the affairs on the rivers and lakes in Zhongzhou, so it is reasonable not to know the truth." In addition to being good at business, Boss Jun also has a good kung fu, it is said that after being second only to the prince of Dingyuan and another chivalrous man in the gentleman's building, he is also ranked in the rivers and lakes, and is a top-ranked master, which can be described as both civil and military. If the person who 'fought' with Boss Jun today is as you said, he can calmly escape after receiving a blow from Boss Jun, and he is not a simple person, so you should be careful when walking in the palace in the future. β
It turned out that Jun Wunian, who seemed to have no power to tie the 'chicken', was actually a martial arts master...... The corners of Yan Li's mouth moved, and he suddenly felt that some common sense had been subverted.
"There are forbidden military camps and 'attendant' guards in the palace who are strictly guarded, and it stands to reason that there should not be shadow guards, even those princes and ministers who are accustomed to guarding everywhere will not be stupid enough to bring shadow guards into the palace, once discovered, it is a big crime to intend to rebel against 'chaos'. However, the kung fu of the person who 'fought' with Boss Jun was so good, I was afraid that ordinary 'guards' would not be able to find his trace at all, just like a killer hidden in the shadows who could appear at any time, which really made people feel uneasy. β
"I will let 'Chun' Qiu secretly investigate the matter of the shadow guard, and His Highness only needs to recuperate his body." Boredom opened the folding fan and closed it again, Chu Ci Pinpin looked at Yan Li Worry a few times, as if he had something to say.
"If you want to say anything, I will feel flustered when Master Chu looks at me more, and I have to think about whether I am being calculated when I go to bed at night." Yan Liwu glared at Chu Ci half-jokingly.
Chu Ci laughed at Yan Li's teasing, and only glanced out of the 'door', and the corners of his mouth were a little strange: "Doesn't Miss Yan feel that something is missing?" β
Yan Li was stunned, looked at himself, and looked up slightly blankly: "What is it?" β
Chu Ci chuckled, and the tone of his expression was elusive: "The admirer, Miss Yan's most loyal admirer." β
"Is there such a thingβ"
Yan Liwu thought that Chu Ci was joking with her, but halfway through the words, she immediately reacted, it turned out that Chu Ci was serious, and behind her, there was indeed one less loyal person.
Wen Moshu saw the sudden change in Yanli's worried face, and soon understood the meaning of Chu Ci's words, and couldn't help but gasp: "What about the 'waiter' who sent the girl to come?" I haven't seen him all day. β
"Jun Bai won't disappear for no reason, when Wen Moqing sent him, he specially instructed him to follow me every inch, something must have happened." Yan Li got up anxiously, stood at the entrance of the 'door' and looked around, but still didn't see Yin Junbai's figure. After a few moments of hesitation, Yan Liwu suddenly turned to face Wen Moshu, and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, he is also Wen Moqing's subordinate, and he has always tried his best to protect me, and I have to be responsible for him." I really can't help it, and I have to trouble His Highness to help again. β
Wen Moshu nodded: "I naturally want to help with Miss Yan's matter-Chu Ci, can I ask 'Spring' and Autumn to check?" I'll ask General Yun to help inquire. β
"Your Highness has spoken, can I not make a move?" Chu Ci folded the fan and shook it slowly, still so calmly, and he didn't see any movements, and the burly man 'Chun' Qiu appeared at the 'door', and his eyes swept away from his worries with an unkind look.
Without waiting for anyone to ask, 'Chun' Qiu had already read the account book and talked about Yin Junbai's whereabouts: "Yesterday morning, he secretly followed the second prince and Miss Yan, peeked outside the 'gate' of the 'flower' garden, left halfway, and never came out of the room again; β
It should have been a good thing to know the time and place of Yin Junbai's last appearance, but it can be said that Li Wei did not 'show' the slightest 'color' of 'excitement', but instead lowered his face, and his tone was suddenly cold: "Did Gongzi Chu ask 'Chun' Qiu to follow Jun Bai?" β
If it weren't for the deliberate tracking, it would be impossible for 'Chun' Qiu to know so much about Yin Junbai's whereabouts, and Yin Junbai is Wen Moqing's subordinate, and he is also the person who was sent to protect Yan Liwu, and his tracking is tantamount to questioning Yan Liwu, which makes Yan Liwu very dissatisfied.
"I'm responsible for the safety of His Highness, how can I not pay more attention to strangers?" Chu Ci did not deny the accusation of Yan Liwu, and he was calm, "Yin Junbai is a henchman of King Qinglian, and he is secretly related to Junzilou, and even he is not guarded against, so who should he guard against?" Miss Yan? β
Seeing that the two had a great confrontation, Wen Moshu hurriedly pulled Yan Liwu and Chu Ci to give a look, diverted the topic and took Yan Liwu away.
'Chun' Qiu turned his head to look at Yan Li's back and left his back, and turned his head puzzled: "Master, in front of the second prince, isn't it good to say this?" β
"Your Highness won't mind. His Highness is very clear about what to guard against, and he also understands why I will oppose him and Miss Yan's affairs. Besides, you have to make a show to outsiders, after all, the other party is the King of Qinglian. "The slight eyes of the face 'color' flashed a hint of luster, Chu Ci smiled lightly, and his fingertips were accustomed to 'sex' across the flute at his waist, and in the faint smile provoked, the meaning of sitting and watching the show became stronger and stronger.
β»β»β»
The Qinglian Palace, which has lost its master, has lost its former brilliance, the Huazhu is "covered" with dust, the rockery is declining, and even the murals with living "color" and fragrant fragrance have lost their "color" and become dark and gloomy.
Wen Moqing walked on the spacious corridor of Qinglian Palace, and the empty echo of her footsteps was lonely and cold, making her more and more 'gloomy' and terrifying. Bi Sheng usually chirps as if she is very bold, but at this time, she also looks like a little 'girl' and shrinks behind Wen Moqing, holding his sleeves tightly and feeling cold, and his steps are also a little flustered.
"Afraid of what?" Wen Moqing tried to 'draw' his arm back, but Bi Sheng hugged it too tightly and couldn't get rid of it at all.
"I'm afraid of ghosts, there have been people ...... death here" Bi Sheng swallowed his saliva, and kept looking around in horror, as if he was afraid that some demons and monsters would suddenly pop out. After walking through most of the palace, Bi Sheng still did not relieve a little, and her pink and pretty face was pale without 'color': "Senior brother, what are you here to investigate?" The words are gone, this is already an abandoned house, right? β
Wen Moqing's footsteps did not stop, and the long sword in his hand struck on the wall every few moments, and he was engrossed in Bi Sheng's fear: "According to the drawing mark, determine whether it is a dungeon or not." Last time we came to see two entrances and exits, if the other dark 'doors' can coincide with this picture, then it means that this picture is indeed the underground palace of Qinglian Palace. β
"What about after that? Looking for something? β
Wen Moqing did not answer Bi Sheng's question, Bi Sheng pursed her lips slightly and was a little unhappy, but she also understood that her position in the Junzi Building was not as good as that of her sister Bi Xiao, and the purpose and details of many tasks were not qualified to ask, and she could be so close to Wen Moqing because of Bi Xiao's relationship, otherwise, her status and treatment should be on par with Yin Junbai.
When he walked to a fork in the road, Wen Moqing suddenly froze, his knuckles moved slightly, and then turned his head down to look at Bi Sheng: "Are you afraid?" Then go back to the foot of the mountain and wait for me, and I'll look for you before sunset. β
"Huh? No, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid! Hearing that Wen Moqing wanted to drive himself away, Bi Sheng naturally disagreed, "I want to follow my senior brother, and I will go wherever my senior brother goes!" β
"You're not afraid, I'm still annoyed with you."
Wen Moqing's attitude towards Bi Sheng was a little blunt and indifferent, and she seemed to be a little impatient. Bi Sheng was afraid that he would be angry because of this, so he 'twitched' his nose aggrievedly and nodded, turned around and slowly moved back along the way he came, almost turning back in three steps, hoping that Wen Moqing would change his decision.
It's a pity that if it can be easily changed, then he is not warm.
Standing in place with his eyes closed for a long time, when the sound of footsteps finally stopped coming from his ears, Wen Moqing suddenly opened his eyes, and his voice was flat and stereotyped: "Come out, she's gone." β
There was silence in the quiet and almost dead silence of the hall, and there was a slight sound after a while, and then the clothes were sloppy, and a figure slowly walked out of the dark shadow in the corner and appeared in front of Wen Moqing.
"How could Young Master Wen find out about the old man? I deliberately held my breath and hid it. β
Wen Moqing lightly glanced at the old man in front of him, with a ruddy face, and Leng Jun's face was expressionless: "This ghost place has been empty for a long time, except for mildew, there is only ghost gas, there is no burning fragrance at all, and it is still a spice specially prepared by the 'door'." β
The old man was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and raised his hand to sniff his sleeve, and then shook his head and sighed: "I am used to smelling, and I forgot to cover it." But it's also thanks to Young Master Wen's keenness, you see, Bi Sheng's girl didn't notice it, and she pouted thinking that you disliked her! β
"Senior Du doesn't accompany Master to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble in Junzilou to pass the boring time, what are you doing here? Just to show me the scent? Being known by Aunt Su will be irritable and crazy, right? Wen Moqing raised his eyebrows slightly, with three points of banter in his tone.
"Don't, don't, let that old woman find out that I stole her incense, maybe she will put some kind of cruel 'medicine' in my food!" Du Yongfei, an old painter who is nearly sixty years old, shuddered, and his face pleaded, "Young Master Wen, it's not that the old man wants to disturb your peace, it's that someone has to come here to find you, and the old man really can't stop it!" β
In the Junzi Building, who else can make Du Yongfei helpless and have to obey orders?
Wen Moqing's face was pale, and his voice suddenly lowered: "Master is here too?" β
