Chapter 5 Arrival in Shengjing
They stopped and stopped along the way, during which they encountered another assassination, Jiang Liuli and their carriage was in front of Huang Tianqi, and the assassin rushed towards them as soon as possible, it was obvious that the assassin had regarded them as accomplices, and it was impossible to draw a line with them.
This time, the number of assassins has increased significantly, and all of them are strong in martial arts, but Jiang Liuli did not make a move, there are two people, Mingxia and Mingyue, she does not need to make a move.
Despite the help of Mingyue and Mingxia, it took them some time to eliminate the Assassins, and in order to avoid long nights and dreams, they decided to hurry up, and when they arrived in Shengjing, the Assassins did not dare to act rashly.
Jiang Liuli had no objection to this, so the three-day journey took a day and a half to arrive in Shengjing, although it was the first time they came to Shengjing, they had a place to go, so naturally they didn't need to worry about the next thing.
Mingyue looked at the prosperity of Shengjing in amazement, looked left and left, and felt that the two eyes were not enough to see, and sure enough, only Shengjing was the most prosperous place.
"Miss Jiang, is there a place to go, do you need me to arrange it?" In the bustling Shengjing, Jiang Liuli didn't want to stay in the carriage, but Huang Tianqi beside her always followed behind, making her feel uncomfortable.
"No, I have my own arrangements." Jiang Liuli said coldly, although she walked with him all the way, she still didn't give him a smile.
"Okay." Huang Tianqi didn't ask anymore, and he didn't want to stay in the same guest house with her, he had to go home, he hadn't gone back for so long, and the family must have been turned upside down.
"Don't pass it here." Jiang Liuli stopped, and soon they were about to reach their destination, but she didn't want him to know where she lived, so as not to find him later.
"Okay then, Miss Jiang will have a period later." This time, Huang Tianqi was very cheerful and didn't talk nonsense.
"Yes." Jiang Liuli nodded, such a big Shengjing, it should be difficult to meet again, so don't say this polite word.
After the two said goodbye, Jiang Liuli left with Mingyue Mingxia first, while Huang Tianqi watched them go away with a gleam in his eyes, as if he was calculating something.
"Brother, what should I do next?" Huang Tianqi's younger brother, Huang Tianrui looked at them who walked away.
"Now that they have successfully arrived in Shengjing, it is impossible for them to do other actions, it seems that they are not in the same group as those assassins, nor are they the people who came to assassinate me, otherwise they would have done it a long time ago, in this Shengjing, it is not a wise choice to do it." He was observing Jiang Liuli all the way, and found that she didn't care about him at all, and didn't even bother to give him a look, at first he thought that this was to let them let down their guard, so they would deliberately ignore him, but now it seems that it is not at all.
"So they really just happened to be on the same road with us? Happened to help us? Huang Tianrui still didn't believe it, because no one wanted to provoke those assassins who killed people without blinking.
"Perhaps, as she said, we fought until she went to sleep." At first he thought it was an excuse, but now it seems, perhaps it is true, that her temperament is so casual.
Huang Tianqi and Huang Tianrui are entangled in Jiang Liuli's identity, and she has come to the most prosperous area of Shengjing, and the location where she is standing at this time is a very elegant green building.
Jiang Liuli looked at the two-story small building in front of him, although Liuli Palace has opened a lot of green buildings, but the girls in it are all selling their arts, and the green buildings are just to collect some information.
At this time, it was noon, the gate of the Qinglou was closed, Jiang Liuli took a detour to the back door, looked around, and found that there was no one, so he went to knock on the door.
"Here we are." Soon someone came to open the door, and it was a middle-aged woman who had no makeup on her face, but she was still beautiful.
"Who are you looking for?" The woman's eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Liuli, and she looked her up and down excitedly, she had seen many beauties in the Qinglou, but it was still rare to be so beautiful.
"Sister Hong." Jiang Liuli frowned unhappily, the woman's gaze as if she was looking at a commodity made her very uncomfortable.
"Girl, please come in." When the woman heard them say that she wanted to see Sister Hong, she was even more excited, who was Sister Hong, that was the steward of the Qinglou.
Jiang Liuli took the lead and walked in, and Ming Xia behind her also didn't like her gaze, but she didn't say anything, and followed Jiang Liuli silently.
After walking in, they found that this is a backyard, the decoration is quite beautiful, rockeries and flowing rivers, pavilions and water pavilions, all kinds of beautiful flowers are available, making people feel that this is not a green building, but the backyard of a wealthy family.
The woman led the three of them to the hut in the backyard, which was not a room for the guests, but a place for each girl to rest, where they could let down their guards, put down their smiling faces, and be themselves merrily.
When she came to a house in the middle of the building, the woman stopped, knocked on the door, and waited quietly at the door.
"Come in." A lazy woman's voice came from inside, and it was so sweet that it was incomparably sweet.
The woman heard the answer, pushed open the door and walked in, Jiang Liuli also followed, and then saw the woman leaning on the chaise longue in front of the window, her face was not powdered, and even with a trace of exhaustion, but she still couldn't hide her beauty, slender eyebrows, dark eyes, high nose bridge, and cherry-like mouth, everything is the standard that a beauty should have.
Looking at her from the eyes of a modern person, it gives people a feeling of pity for me, but there is a hint of heroism between the eyebrows, which is a bit contradictory, but it does not affect her beauty at all.
"Who are they?" Sister Hong was still lying on the chaise longue, looking the three of them up and down curiously, she was different from the woman, and she could see at a glance that the three of them were not short of money to spend, so naturally they would not come to the Qinglou to perform.
"The three girls are here to find you." The woman treats Sister Hong with great respect.
"I see, you go down." Sister Hong looked at Jiang Liuli, and always felt that her identity was not so simple.
"Yes." Although the woman wanted to stay, she had to listen to Sister Hong's orders.
After the woman left the room, Sister Hong sat up from the chaise longue, sat down at the table, and poured herself a glass of water, and a glass for each of the three of them.
Jiang Liuli was not polite to her, sat opposite her, and drank tea, while Mingxia and Mingyue stood behind her and did not sit down, they had to obey the rules in front of people, especially in the territory of Liuli Palace, they needed to obey the rules, Jiang Liuli was good to them, just know it.
"What is the girl looking for me?" Sister Hong saw that Jiang Liuli didn't plan to speak at all, so she could only speak first, she still had something to do in a while, and she didn't have time to accompany them.
Jiang Liuli continued to drink tea, but still did not speak, but Ming Xia behind him took out a token from his waist, which represented a symbol of status.
When Sister Hong saw the word "Liuli" written on the token of Mingxia, she was shocked, in the entire Liuli Palace, in addition to Yue Liuli, there was also a person named Liuli.
"See the Young Palace Master." Sister Hong hurriedly left her seat and knelt on one knee, but she was flustered in her heart, and the sudden appearance of the young palace master caught her off guard.
"Get up." Jiang Liuli put down the cup in her hand and looked at Sister Hong coldly, she knew the origin of Sister Hong, and also knew that Yue Liuli had a very good relationship with her, and she once said that she would take her to Shengjing to meet Sister Hong, but unfortunately, she never had the opportunity.
"Young Palace Master Xie." Sister Hong stood up respectfully, stood at the table, and didn't dare to sit down again, although she and Yue Liuli were on an equal footing when they were together, but she didn't know anything about the young palace master she had never met, and she didn't know what her personality was, so it was better to be cautious and not make her angry.
"Sit down." She knew that Yue Liuli and she had always been called sisters, so she would respect her as well.
"Young Palace Master Xie." Sister Hong obeyed her words and sat down obediently.
After Jiang Liuli saw her sit down, she kept her head down, as if she didn't dare to look at her, which made her a little speechless, is she so terrible?
"Sister Hong, do you know why I came this time?" She slowed her tone and tried to make her feel as gentle as possible.
"Is it for the palace master's business?" Sister Hong raised her head and looked at her curiously, she really couldn't think of anything else besides this matter.
"Yes." Jiang Liuli nodded, Sister Hong is really a smart person, and it is effortless to talk to her.
"The last time I saw the palace master was in May two years ago, she said that there was an urgent matter to deal with, and asked me to pay more attention to the situation in Shengjing, and then left, and I haven't seen it since." She also knew that the palace had been looking for the whereabouts of Yue Liuli, so she told everything she knew.
"Did she say there was something urgent?" Jiang Liuli frowned suspiciously, in her eyes, no matter how urgent things were, Yue Liuli has always been unhurried, what kind of thing can make her so calm as water? In a hurry, you don't even have time to come back to see her?
"What she said she had been looking forward to for many years, and finally got the result, as for what she was looking forward to, I don't know." Sister Hong doesn't seem to know much.
Jiang Liuli instantly remembered what Yue Liuli had said, she had said that she originally had a daughter, but she was taken away and killed by her enemies, she never believed that her daughter was no longer alive, and she had been looking for her whereabouts, but unfortunately she had been looking for more than ten years, but there was still no news.
And the reason why she accepted Jiang Liuli as her goddaughter when she met her for the first time was because of her appearance, which made her think of her daughter, and for so many years, she has been longing for the affection of mother and daughter.
"I know what the urgency she has to do, but why hasn't she shown up for so long? Could it be that something went wrong in the middle? Jiang Liuli muttered to herself, if Yue Liuli really found her daughter, she would definitely bring her back to Liuli Palace, even if she couldn't come back for a while, she would pass the news back, but now, she had no news.
Although the three of them wanted to know what urgent matter Yue Liuli was going to do, seeing Jiang Liuli's pensive look, they didn't dare to disturb, so they could only wait for her orders in silence.
