Chapter 221: News of the Assassins
Lizhan had heard about the turmoil in the Western Regions. But she didn't expect that it would be so chaotic that it would upset these aliens.
"What's going on in the Western Regions?" Lizhan crouched down and asked the alien.
The thief stumbled and said a series of words, and Duan Changyin repeated it for him in short words: "There is infighting in the tribe, there are groups of bandits, and there has been a plague recently. ”
"Plague? What plague? "Lizhan didn't realize that he cared so much about the affairs of the Western Regions.
"He didn't know, but the Guizi people also ran away, so they all ran away." Duan Changyin said.
He took the money bag from her hand, and took a piece of broken silver from the thief.
"Miss, you ...... you back for stealing our money"
"That's it, he fled to the capital, there is no guide, he can't even get a job, people always have to eat." Lizhan sighed and asked the thief, "You came all the way to the capital to defect to someone else, right?" ”
The thief nodded.
"In your current situation, you should be closed. If others don't take you in, you shouldn't stay here, and the cost of the capital is already greater than that of other places. You can take the broken silver to raise some money to go out of the city, buy clean Central Plains clothes, cut your rat tail whip, and find some work to do in a small place. ”
Duan Changyin let go, the thief got up, took the silver and knocked his head twice at the foot of Lizhan, and fled as if flying.
Qiao'er looked at the flying dust, put the money bag away and tied it back to her waist, and said, "Miss is the heart of the Bodhisattva." ”
Duan Changyin's eyes flashed when he looked at Lizhan, his eyes were full of appreciation, "Your young lady is indeed kind-hearted. He didn't hurt you, did he? ”
Lizhan and Qiao'er looked at each other and said in unison: "No." ”
"Master, do you know the immortals?" Miao Miao asked timidly behind her.
"yes, before you two met. There is a saying that friends are not good, and you will die of that heart! ”
Miao Miao pouted aggrievedly.
The weather was gloomy and raining, so I made a fuss, and then I turned back to the bean skin stall, and the umbrella that Qiao'er threw on the ground was gone.
It was not possible for four people to hold an umbrella together, so they found a nearby teahouse and asked for a good compartment on the second floor.
When Xiao Er came up, he saw Lizhan at a glance.
She was born good-looking, and others would be amazed by her at first sight, Xiao Er looked at it with sparkling eyes, and Duan Changyin came in behind her.
Xiao Er's eyes were sideways, and he fixed on Duan Changyin's body and played back and forth.
This look, this dress, this temperament!
Xiao Er's eyes shone brightly.
"The guest officer is a disciple of the Thousand Mountains Palace?"
What kind of disciple is he? He's the overseer who has been missing for half a year!
Li Zhan thought so in his heart, and looked back to see how Duan Changyin answered.
Duan Changyin just smiled kindly, and didn't say much.
The people in the Thousand Mountains Hall have always been low-key, and Xiao Er only regarded him as him, and immediately invited them to the cleanest compartment on the second floor.
The money for the tea was rushed by Duan Changyin to pay, he was very generous, five taels of silver for the white crane tea, he paid ten taels, and told Xiao Er that after the tea, he would no longer have to wait outside the door. After all, if you have to mention the assassin later, it's not good to be talked about by others.
Xiao Er's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood, holding the heavy ingot of snowflake silver, looking at the two of them and said with a smile: "Childe and Miss are really a pair of beautiful people, the little one understands, the little one understands ......."
Alas, that's not what it meant......
Before he could explain, Xiao Er had already withdrawn with a sweat towel.
Leaving Duan Changyin and Lizhan to look at each other, they each looked away shyly, one looked at the ground, the other looked out the window, and their throats and eyes rolled together.
It's embarrassing...... It's not good that the current junior is too sensible.
Obviously, there was nothing between the two, but he saw something.
Lizhan was in a panic, and hurriedly talked about the topic and said, "Long sound...... How did you get to Beijing? ”
Duan Changyin unloaded the sword and buckled it on the table, and when he turned his head, his face was not completely calm.
He cleared his throat and suppressed the blush on his face a little.
"The assassin's matter has been settled, and I came to the capital to tell the girl."
"It's really hard work. The Thousand Mountains Hall is not close to the capital, so I thought that Gongzi would send a letter to me. ”
Duan Changyin finally faded away from the flush, and immediately became a little more vivid.
He hurriedly straightened his face, flushed and solemn.
"The paper is short and complicated, and I am not good at writing, so after thinking about it, I should explain it to the girl in person."
"Yes...... But why did Childe suddenly appear on this street? ”
Duan Changyin lowered his head slightly, as if he was deliberately hiding the expression on his face.
"I inquired with the people from Changfeng Pharmacy and knew that the girl had gone out. So he was going to find an inn to rest, and then go to the pharmacy tomorrow to look for the girl, Nazhi wandered all the way, and suddenly heard a shout on the street, and the voice listened...... Some like you. ”
"You're just around? Why didn't I see you? ”
"I'm on Dongting Street."
Ah, there's a Xuanzi Alley in between......
"My voice, there's ...... It's that big......"
Duan Changyin was also a little embarrassed, appearing in front of her quickly across two streets, there was a feeling of being too attentive.
"Those who practice martial arts have sharper ears." Duan Changyin's palms rubbed back and forth on his knees.
"Oh, I forgot you were an overseer. Oh yes, what was the result of the assassin's trial? ”
"The Bai family."
"Bai Caixuan?!"
The result that Lizhan desperately wants to know, the result that she can't figure out, is actually the person she has always hated the most in her heart.
An enemy is an enemy, and if you live another life, you will still be a mortal enemy.
It's good if it's not someone else, anyway, this enemy is identified, and if it's her, there will be one less trouble.
Duan Changyin was surprised at first when he saw Lizhan, and then quickly calmed down, and now he breathed a long sigh of relief, as if that dignified Bai Xiangfu was some kind of bully master.
"Ah Li isn't worried at all?"
"I'm not surprised, old enemy."
"Let's let it, let it go, the tea is coming!" There was shouting outside, and the two of them stopped.
Xiao Er pushed the door in, put the tea and candied fruit on the table, and winked at the two of them weirdly, "Use it slowly, use it slowly!" ”
This look made people's teeth sour, and the two of them were a little uncomfortable to invite, and they reached out to hold the saucer to hold to themselves, and looked at the tea in their hands.
Duan Changyin twisted his neck, and only after half a ring did he ask, "I have something to do, I want to apologize to the girl in the future." The two Assassins committed suicide by biting their tongues the second night after the guards were negligent. So, the rest, I didn't ask much about it, and it didn't help much. ”
"You have to be humble again. I didn't know who was secretly harming me, and I couldn't sleep soundly. Childe helped me solve a heart problem, so naturally he helped me a lot. ”
"Ah Li just said that he is an old enemy with the Bai family, is it Bai Cunxiao's matter before?"
"Childe also knows?" Lizhan nodded: "Not only that, but she must have a grudge against her for stealing the limelight in the East Palace." ”
Duan Changyin's eyebrows furrowed, and he said suspiciously, "Ah Li has to think clearly, is it worth such a ruthless move to compete for the limelight?" Is there something else going on in the mix? ”
Lizhan shook his head and concluded: "This is not an ordinary competition for the limelight. If the selection goes smoothly on the day, Bai Caixuan should be able to sit in the position of the crown princess. I ruined her good deeds and disturbed her dream of entering the East Palace, do you think she will hate me to death? ”
The matter of the selection of the East Palace has always been talked about, and Duan Changyin also heard about it a little later.
It's just that he hasn't been able to figure it out, Lizhan had a conflict with the Bai family earlier, she is so smart, why would she embarrass Bai Caixuan in the East Palace selection?
"Miss Li, why are you so sure that you can sit on the throne of the crown princess, nine times out of ten it is Bai Caixuan?"
"I ......" stopped when he left the lamp.
In fact, when she mentioned her tone, she made up all the lies. But with a pair of bright and clear eyes in the upper long voice, she can't lie to others like she can.
"I just know something about ...... anyway"
Duan Changyin let out an "oh" and didn't ask much, there was a tacit understanding and courtesy between the two.
"That girl must be careful of the Bai family in the future. The eldest son of the Bai family will be promoted to Beijing in the near future, and it is said that he will still go to the Ministry of Officials to receive the official title of Shilang, the starting point is very high, and the Bai family will only be in the sky in the future. ”
