Chapter 123: Intent
Turning back in time, thirteen-year-old Liu Feng picked up a hairpin flower with a feather qiong pattern on the street of Shengjing, the hairpin flower was finely made, and the faint fragrance on it made him obsessed for a moment, so he couldn't help but put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it.
It was because of this move that the owner of the hairpin who went and returned misunderstood that he was a prodigal son, and the woman was followed by her fiancΓ©, and the man found someone to torture and humiliate him, and even stripped him of his clothes and made him run along the streets of Shengjing.
It was this past that carved an indelible scar in Liu Feng's heart.
How much Huang Siqiong likes Yuqionghua, how disgusted Liu Feng is!
According to Qin Wan's understanding of Liu Feng, he would never wronged himself, ignore his disgust and cater to someone.
Unless, he has something very important, and he is imminent and needs people.
If it was possible, Qin Wan really wanted to hear what Liu Feng came to Lin Bai for, but before she thought of a suitable reason, reality did not allow her to go over to observe.
Because he was worried, Qin Wan's eyes stayed on the two people not far away.
Shangguan Ruxiu noticed her gaze, and from the depths of her eyes, she sensed her disgust for Liu Feng, and she asked a little curiously, "What's wrong?" Do you know Liu Ershao? β
The corner of Qin Wan's lips raised a smile: "Master Junma, the script of the drama some time ago has been spread again, and who in the entire Yanjing City doesn't know it." β
That's right, Shangguan Ruxiu secretly responded to the peace, she had read the earlier script, and there was her figure in the script, but it was only her guess.
It was speculation, but Shangguan Ruxiu only let his thoughts stop in speculation.
Because, for her, the death that has been confirmed is difficult for her to accept.
Perhaps out of a sense of substitution, although the Liu Feng she saw was a gentle and elegant gentleman, she didn't have a good impression of him.
Maybe it was because the things he wanted to ask for were not successful, and after about a quarter of an hour, Liu Feng returned with regret, because he came with a purpose, so he didn't care much about the people on the side.
The hour is not early, and several people are also planning to go back, Qin Luo's intention to play is still unfinished, and the child's heart is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.
General Mu Xiao finally took a look at the opportunity and walked side by side with Shangguan Ruxiu, I don't know when, he had an extra wreath on his hand, and I don't know when he made it.
With a bright smile, he put a garland on Shangguan Ruxiu's head, and a wind blew, blowing her three thousand strands of hair and her dress, at that moment, in the eyes of General Mu Xiao, Shangguan Ruxiu was the most beautiful woman in the world.
"Ah Xiu," he muttered, and said like an oath, "Don't worry, although I am younger than you, one day I will grow up, and I will be like my father protecting my mother, and I will be good to you for the rest of my life." β
Shangguan Ruxiu smiled at the corner of her lips, but her heart overflowed with an unconcealable sourness, this sentence, she had heard that person say it countless times in her dreams, however, the person standing in front of her at this moment who said this was not the person in her dream.
She hid this emotion in her heart very well, with a shallow smile on her face, and said softly: "Yun Cheng, I will wait for you to grow up." β
General Mu Yuncheng regretted all day, because this sentence disappeared without a trace, against the light of the sun, his smile was very bright, just like a child who had been praised by his parents, and he almost danced with joy.
So be it...... Shangguan Ruxiu thought lightly.
Looking at Mu Yuncheng's happy appearance in front of him, Qin Wan suddenly remembered what he heard at the city gate a few days ago.
General Mu was seriously ill in Chuzhou, and for the sake of border stability, this matter must have been forcibly suppressed, and Mu Yuncheng should not have known about it.
"Second girl," Lin Bai glanced at her and asked softly, "What are you thinking?" β
Qin Wan smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing." β
In fact, she said that it was nothing, and in her heart, she was eager to know about Liu Feng's purpose for coming to Lin Bai.
But now he is Qin Wan's identity, Wang Su may be familiar to Lin Bai, but Qin Wan is definitely not familiar with him.
"Second girl, we should be friends, right?" Lin Bai suddenly asked without a head.
Qin Wan was slightly stunned, and quickly said, "What does Lin Gongzi think?" β
Lin Bai smiled: "I think so," he paused in his tone, and continued: "Since we are friends, there is one thing I want to tell you, and it is also intended for you to give a reference." β
Qin Wan looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Lin Bai said: "Liu Ershao came to me just now because he wanted to cooperate with me in a business. β
The pace of progress suddenly stopped, she tilted her head, stunned, and stared at Lin Bai without blinking.
It was as if the person in front of her was a roundworm in her stomach, knowing what she was thinking and thinking, and when she was anxious and eager to know the truth, he spoke to her in this way, under her defenselessness.
"Old General Mu is seriously ill in Chuzhou," Lin Bai said leisurely: "The last time the emperor was on the enclosure in the palace and summoned the son of the general to play in the enclosure, he also intended to select a candidate to replace General Mu in Chuzhou. β
"However, what does this have to do with the business that Liu Ershao talked about with you?"
"The border of Chuzhou has been stable for decades, it is between the name of Pei Xian of Nanchen who is afraid of the name of the Jiang family army, and the courage of General Mu, this time General Mu is seriously ill, although the emperor tried his best to suppress the news, but Pei Xian also got the news," Lin Bai sighed: "The border of Chuzhou, there are 100,000 soldiers in the south of Chentun, which is intended to find out the truth of General Mu's illness, and also intends to capture Chuzhou." β
"What do you mean...... Chuzhou is about to go to war," Qin Wan frowned, "So, the business that Liu Ershao came to you to cooperate with is military supplies?" β
Lin Bai nodded: "Once the war is fought, there will be more military supplies, and now most of the people in the court advocate righteousness, but in preparation for this war, the emperor ordered this morning to double the military supplies sent to Chuzhou, especially military medicinal materials." β
"Therefore, the doubling of military supplies fell on Liu Ershao," Qin Wan analyzed: "The Liu family's shops are mainly porcelain, followed by cloth villages, and their family's medicinal material business has just started for half a year, Mo said that it is the Lin family's pharmacy, and even the Qin family's pharmacy is not comparable to him, the military supplies have doubled, shouldn't it be the Qin family who should stop this business the most?" β
Although the Lin family in Nanfu will not sit idly by when the country is in trouble, the Lin family will not get involved in this kind of business of reserve supplies at the moment.
There are many businessmen in Yanjing City, in addition to the statement of the Lin family in Nanfu, the Qin family's business is also different, unlike the Lin family's wide range of business, the Qin family specializes in medicinal materials and medical shops.
This kind of doubling of military supplies needs to be supplied by another supplier, looking at it, only the Qin family is suitable, how can it fall on Liu Feng's head?
Although Liu Feng is now the master of the county and has the support of Yingwu Hou behind him, in the face of such a major national event, he should not change hands so hastily.
Unless......
Qin Wan suddenly thought of the changes in the Qin family before, Xu Junlan's monkhood, and the meeting between Zhong Ci and Liu Feng.
At that time, she didn't know why Liu Feng suddenly turned the finger on Xu Junlan, in fact, now that she thinks about it, Liu Feng's purpose at that time was not Xu Junlan but Qin Ming, or the Qin family's pharmacy.
The Qin family was turned upside down by a Zhong Ci, and these days, Qin Ming has been repenting of what he has done every day, and his whole person is living in a kind of decadence, and he has no time to take care of business.
Although Master Qin can temporarily help control it, he has been handing over the business to Qin Ming for many years, and as soon as he suddenly gets started, there must be many things that are not smooth.
At a time when the major merchants of military supplies were rushing to get business, the Qin family's chaotic life was indeed not conducive to being selected.
It's just that there is one more thing that Qin Wan didn't figure out.
When Liu Feng designed to use Zhong Ci to mess up the Qin family, Nan Chen did not have 100,000 troops at that time, and even if the news came that General Mu was seriously ill, the court had already elected Shangguan Yi to go to Chuzhou.
How did Liu Feng know that Nan Chen would make a move on Chuzhou, and planned this targeted plan in advance, and obtained the business of military supplies?
Lin Bai said: "The doubling of the medicinal materials, according to the small pharmacy of the Liu family, he can't take it out, so he intends to cooperate with me to jointly deliver military supplies." β
"Liu's pharmacy has only been doing for half a year, he can stop the business of military supplies, it is the tense moment of the war for reserve supplies, if the supply is insufficient, it is a big crime to kill the head, knowing that it is a business that is walking on the blade and wants to lose his head, he Liu Ershao swore to stop it, after stopping this business, the first thing he looked for was not the Qin family but the Lin family......" The more Qin Wan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't help frowning, and asked: "Has Lin Gongzi thought about his intentions?" β
Is it because the reputation of the Nanfu Lin family is greater than that of the Qin family?
Qin Wan would never think so, there is a specialization in the art industry, and when everyone in Yanjing City mentions medicinal materials, the first thing that comes to mind is the Qin family, not the Lin family.
Such a simple and easy-to-understand truth, he Liu Feng will not be unaware.
Supply the big fat meat of military supplies, the Lin family does not interfere, there will be a lot of people in Yanjing who want to get a bite, Qin Wan told Lin Bai his analysis, and he also intended to make him careful.
After all, Liu Feng's behavior is too abnormal, he is like a wolf that can never be fed, doing business with him, I don't know if one day he will be gnawed to the bones!
"It's because I don't know his intentions, so I ......" Lin Bai smiled slightly: "I asked him to give me a day to think about it, but now it seems that this day's time is redundant." β
β¦β¦
I heard a sudden 'plop' sound in front of me, and then a woman's tearing cry came: "Help, help, who came to save my young lady." β
Several people immediately followed the sound and rushed to the scene.
At the foot of Yangshan is a pool of turquoise water, with a circle of ripples in the center of the lake, and a maid shouts eagerly on the shore, crying at the lake: "Miss Six......"
Seeing someone coming, he hurriedly pounced on him and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please save my young lady...... Woowoo woo ......"
Without the slightest hesitation, the two men immediately jumped into the water to save people.
The person had just fallen into the water not long ago, and Mu Yuncheng and Lin Bai were both well versed in water, so they rescued the person not long after they went into the water.
"Miss Six......" The maid hurriedly cried and pounced, but fortunately, the person was fine, just choked on two mouthfuls of water.
"Are you...... Huang Liu's girl? Shangguan Ruxiu was a little surprised to see the woman who was fished up, and the heavenly sound on the top of Yangshan still echoed in her ears, but the next moment the person who played the flute like a fairy ended up like this.
"Ahem......" Because of choking on water, Huang Siqiong was still coughing violently, but at this time she didn't look over, she obviously didn't want to be recognized.
The maid stopped Huang Siqiong in her arms, patted her back to ease her, and turned her head to thank her: "Thank you two sons and girls for saving their lives." β
Qin Luo squeezed at the front, and when he saw Huang Siqiong's appearance falling into the water, his facial features couldn't help but wrinkle, "Why are you doing so close to the lake if you have nothing to do, I don't know that I think your young lady is diving to die." β
She has always spoken without a brain, and quick words are easy to make people think.
Qin Bang looked at the surrounding terrain, indeed, the lake at the foot of the mountain was still some distance away from the side of the road, and both sides of the road were overgrown with weeds, and no one would cross the weeds to approach that side.
Hearing this, Huang Siqiong's body trembled visibly with the naked eye, but the maid was stunned, and hurriedly said: "This young lady misunderstood, just now I went down the mountain with Miss Six, passing by here, my young lady was kind-hearted, and saw a bird injured and fell into the lake, so she wanted to save it, but accidentally fell into the water......
Shangguan Ruxiu and Qin Wan glanced at each other, but neither spoke.
The five of them stood for a while, watching the maid help Huang Siqiong up and leave the rear.
"Those six girls are really strange," Mu Yuncheng twisted his wet clothes, and said dissatisfiedly: "I saw her first when I went into the water, and when I fished her, she thought I was a bad person, and I tried my best to break free, if it wasn't for my strength, I would have been really broken free by her." It's a shame that the girl said that she was here to save the birds, otherwise, I really thought she was really looking for death, as the fifth girl said. β
Shangguan Ruxiu glanced at him gently, took out a silk handkerchief and wiped his still dripping hair for him, and said, "Ah, don't say it again when you get home, so as not to be misunderstood." β
Mu Yuncheng smiled innocently: "Got it." β
Qin Wan glanced back at Lin Bai, he also went into the water to save people, and now he was already soaked, after thinking about it, she handed the silk handkerchief in her hand to Lin Bai, "Wipe it." β
Lin Bai was slightly stunned, and Xu Yu smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to take it: "Thank you." β
When he returned to the city gate, Chu Xian had already been waiting at the city gate for a long time, Qin Wan and Qin Luo said goodbye and took a step ahead, and it was still early, so Qin Wan went to a teahouse.
The storyteller in the teahouse was telling the sad story of "The Peacock Flying Southeast", and it was not a coincidence that they had just arrived, and this paragraph was also nearing the end.
