025, the next volume
That night, I wanted to talk to Qin Buxian until dawn, and ask all about the strange jade pendant and Dongli branch, but Qin Buxian seemed to be a little impatient, and urged me: "I have been poisoned by you now, and I can't escape and won't escape, so please ask Your Highness to take the bowl of blood of Princess Cheng Yu first, and when everything is over, I will confess everything to Your Highness." ”
Immediately after that, he made a posture of wanting to bombard me away, and when he thought of something, he raised his head again, frowned and said solemnly, "Your Highness only has twelve hours. After this time, don't say that it's been three days, and the Dongli girl won't be alive for a second. ”
Twelve hours.
Fortunately, last year, Ah Yu took a merchant ship to the imperial capital secretly, if she still lived in Nanguo Mansion, within twelve hours, this king would not be able to get a bowl of blood anyway.
This time limit also made this king realize: Qin Buxian not only knew that Cheng Yu was still alive, she even knew that Cheng Yu was in the imperial capital. Otherwise, she would not have spoken within twelve hours.
Actually, this king also has a little gratitude to Qin Buxian, since I let Xu Guangguang take care of Cheng Yu, I haven't seen her for three years and a month, Qin Buxian gave me an excuse to have to see Ah Yu.
Coming out of Qin Buxian's mansion in the middle of the night, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, he turned over to the roof, avoided the bright place and ran all the way to Xu Guangguang's mansion, jumped down, and walked over according to the light of the study.
At first, Xu Guangguang could quickly draw his sword when he heard the sound, and fight me no matter what it was, but later when this situation increased, he could accurately distinguish my footsteps.
I pushed the door and entered, and saw Xu Guangguang already waiting at the door, holding a book, and calmly asked me why I came late at night.
After closing the door behind me, I looked at him and said, "I'm going to see Ah Yu." ”
He was really shocked, the scroll in his hand fell to the ground, and a pair of deer eyes widened: "Didn't Your Highness say before that you couldn't see Princess Cheng Yu in Jiangshan Sheji?" Could it be that Your Highness...... Ready to do it? ”
I picked up the book, put it in my hand, and said while smoothing out the folding: "Tonight, Qin Buxian agreed to use it for me, but she needs something for Ah Yu." ”
He asked in a daze, "What is it, will it hurt the princess?" ”
"A bowl of blood."
Xu Guangguang couldn't help frowning, and after a while, he sighed softly: "A few catties of meat just raised, I'm afraid this bowl of blood will cause her to lose weight again." ”
"Clean up, after dawn, take me to see Ah Yu." The scroll in my hand happened to turn to the cover, and I took a casual look, but the name of the book surprised me: ""Seven Kingdoms Gods War Spirit, what do you think of this?" ”
"Yes, this book was only published in the last year, and it is very popular in the market, talking about the seven large-scale wars between the seven kingdoms of Yu, Jin, Nan, Ning, Qiong, Qi, and Liang. However, the subordinates thought that since it was a war, there was something to learn from victory and defeat, so the subordinates came to take a look. ”
I handed the book back to him: "When you're done, lend me a look." ”
But there was really some indescribable inappropriateness in my heart, so I said, "Which bookstore did you buy it from?" I'll buy me a set tomorrow, and it's all complete. ”
There was a suspicious look on his face: "How does Your Highness know that this book has two volumes?" ”
“…… Why can't I know? ”
He opened the last page of the book, pointed to a line of small print, and said to me: "You see, this eccentric author is here to explain that 'this is the end of the first volume, and there is only one book in the whole world in the next volume, which is hidden in the library of the Imperial City of Jinguo'." Speaking of this, he sighed again, very unprovoked, "This kind of author is more resentful than the kind of author who digs a hole and does not fill it, and is more resentful than the kind of author who directly finishes it, but he gave the next volume a place to go, but not many people can really see it, how can I and other ordinary people enter a place like the palace......"
After that, he looked at me with a blank eye: "So my subordinates are still counting on His Highness to go to the library to borrow a ......."
Xu Guangguang didn't know that this only one book in the world had been borrowed by Zhao Mengqing.
