Chapter 110: The Mysterious Master
Hearing Chen Xiuyuan say that he had an idea or could give it a try, Bai Youlan immediately asked him to say it.
Chen Xiuyuan said: "Childe, my subordinates once saw in the book that not far from Ningzhou County and Mingjian Fort, there is a place called Pingcheng, and there is a person in Pingcheng who is good at inventing and making all kinds of strange objects. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Xiuyuan hesitated a little and said, "But that person's temper is also strange, and few people can ask for his works." ”
Feng Moxi nodded and said: "I have also heard of this person, his original name has been forgotten by everyone, I only know that he is called Qi Lao, because the things he makes are often very strange, and his temper is strange and abnormal." ”
Bai Youlan thought for a moment and said, "Since there is no other way for the time being, let's go to Qi Lao's place first, but it can be regarded as a smooth way." ”
After a day's journey, night crept in.
In the inn, Bai Youlan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Ever since she knew that Feng Moxi had been exposed and left the Wind and Rain Building, Bai Youlan had been worried about her mother's situation.
She wasn't sure how Chen Minghui would treat her mother, and whether her mother would suffer hardship......
Suddenly, a drizzling voice came from outside the door: "Princess, are you resting?" ”
There was no urgency, and the drizzle would never disturb her rest, so Bai Youlan turned over and asked, "Drizzle, what is your urgency?" ”
"The prince sent a letter, and his subordinates were afraid that the prince had something to discuss with the princess, so they disturbed the princess in the middle of the night."
Luo Mingxuan's letter? Usually one will come in two days, why did I just send one yesterday, and another one came tonight, could it be that something big happened!
Thinking of this, Bai Youlan immediately put on her clothes and took the letter.
After reading it, Bai Youlan breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that Luo Mingxuan said in the letter that he had just found out the news that Chen Minghui had solved the poison of Seven Stars Forgetting Soul Drunk some time ago, but for some reason he had been poisoned with a more difficult poison.
Chen Minghui did not appear to manage the wind and rain building during this time, that is, he was in retreat to suppress toxicity.
And according to Chen Minghui's henchmen, Chen Minghui attaches great importance to Bai Youlan, a person who can get close to Luo Mingxuan, although he doesn't know what he wants Bai Youlan to do, or what he wants to do through Bai Youlan, but he can be sure that in order to blackmail Bai Youlan, Chen Minghui will definitely save Ning Lu's life!
There are some contradictions in the content of the two letters, but Luo Mingxuan said very calmly that there may be errors and omissions in the previous inference, but this news is true.
Luo Mingxuan knew that Bai Youlan was worried about his mother, so he sent a message to inform Bai Youlan overnight.
Of course, Luo Mingxuan's letter didn't say so, he was just stating the news he had inquired about, but Bai Youlan fully understood Luo Mingxuan's approach to thinking about her everywhere.
The slightest emotion in her heart surged up again, and Bai Youlan picked up the pen and wanted to write a letter to Luo Mingxuan. It was always her who received letters from Luo Mingxuan, but she rarely replied to him.
It's just that Bai Youlan shook her head slightly, looked at the pen in her hand, didn't know what to write, the pen slowly fell on the paper, and wrote four words on it: There is Feng Laiyi.
This four-word letter was not handed over to Drizzle in the end, Bai Youlan was moved by Luo Mingxuan's heart and Feng Moxi's protection, but in the end she decided not to break this matter.
As for what Luo Mingxuan said in Luo Mingxuan's letter, Chen Minghui had solved the poison of the Seven Stars Forgetting Soul and getting drunk, and had been poisoned by another difficult poison, Bai Youlan suddenly remembered that she had been so distracted for a while that she had done on the Yimi grass that the Fu King Luo Yuze had bought.
As long as you use that Yimi grass to solve the poison of the Seven Stars Forgetting Soul Drunkenness, you will be hit by another poison after relieving the Seven Stars Forgetting Soul Drunkenness.
Perhaps, the Yimi grass purchased by Fuwang Luo Yuze was really given to Chen Minghui?
But because Luo Mingxuan didn't say the symptoms after Chen Minghui's poisoning, Bai Youlan couldn't be completely sure, but Chen Minghui was poisoned after solving the Seven Stars Forgetting Soul Drunk, there were indeed some coincidences, and Bai Youlan already had a doubt in her heart.
There was nothing to do all the way, and when Bai Youlan and the others were about to enter the scope of Pingcheng, the breeze quietly came to report to Bai Youlan and said, "Princess, my subordinates feel that this Chen Xiuyuan is a little suspicious. ”
Bai Youlan was a little puzzled, adhering to the principle that suspects don't need to be suspicious, although Bai Youlan didn't trust Breeze Drizzle and others, she believed in this Chen Xiuyuan, but she never suspected that there was anything wrong with him.
Seeing that Bai Youlan was silent, Breeze continued: "Originally, his subordinates didn't suspect him, but when he was on the road yesterday, his subordinates accidentally discovered that Chen Xiuyuan fell behind under the pretext of avoiding the sight of Ke Yiwei and others, and left a secret mark on a wall. ”
"What kind of secret mark? But cloud-like? ”
Breeze shook her head slightly and said, "No." It is a very ordinary five-petal flower, with three red dots in the center. ”
"What happened to Chen Xiuyuan after that?"
"Not yet, my subordinates want to return to the princess first, and then continue to follow him."
Bai Youlan nodded, she knew that Chen Xiuyuan must not know that there was a breeze and drizzle in the dark, so after avoiding the eyes of Ke Yiwei and the other ten people, she showed her feet in front of the breeze.
It's just that Chen Xiuyuan came out of the Tong Mansion of the Medicine King family, and it seems that his father Uncle Chen has not left that secret room for a long time, and Tong Feibai also said that Chen Xiuyuan grew up in the Tong Mansion since he was a child and has never left the Tong Mansion.
So who does Chen Xiuyuan want to get in touch with? It shouldn't be from Tongfu, if it is, he doesn't need to avoid everyone's attention.
In the afternoon of the next day, Bai Youlan and his party finally came to Pingcheng.
Pingcheng, the city is as its name suggests, as soon as you enter Pingcheng, a sense of stability and peace arises spontaneously.
"Childe, Qi Lao's home is in the eastern suburbs of Pingcheng City, let's find an inn in the east of the city to rest first, and then visit Qi Lao tomorrow."
Listening to Chen Xiuyuan's words, Bai Youlan's gaze swept over his face, and then nodded slightly.
After settling everything, Bai Youlan extinguished the candle flame in the room, but did not rest and just sat quietly.
After a while, the breeze flashed over and said, "Princess, Chen Xiuyuan quietly went out. ”
"Let's follow."
Bai Youlan immediately got up, this is what she was waiting for, since Chen Xiuyuan left a secret mark and sent a signal, naturally someone would come to contact him.
Bai Youlan and the breeze and drizzle followed Chen Xiuyuan from afar, seeing that he turned left and right cautiously to pay attention to whether anyone was following, but he did not hesitate at all, as if he was extremely familiar with this place, Bai Youlan and the others were puzzled in their hearts, could it be that this Chen Xiuyuan had ever been to Pingcheng?
No matter how confused Bai Youlan was, Chen Xiuyuan finally stopped in a pavilion, because there was no cover in the surroundings, Bai Youlan and the others had to stop far away, hiding their bodies and looking at him.
After a while, a dark shadow took advantage of the night to come to the pavilion.
"What's going on that that makes you send an emergency signal? Didn't the master once instruct you to lurk in peace of mind and not be easily exposed! ”
Chen Xiuyuan bowed his head and bowed his body, but his tone was not humble, but he said in an ordinary tone: "I must know that I have followed a mysterious son in recent days. ”
"Nonsense! The master let you potential the medicine king family, how could you not know if you left the master without permission. Why, have you figured out the identity of this son? ”
The man's tone was still arrogant, but Chen Xiuyuan didn't pay attention to it, but just said: "Please also give the master, but the son I followed turned out to be Princess Jing." ”
"What?"
The man was taken aback and said, "The master has been inquiring about Princess Jing's whereabouts, and this is good." But how did you find out, did she tell you herself? Is the message accurate? If it's fake, you know what the consequences will be! ”
"Of course I know. It was Qin You who chased and killed her a few days ago, and I found out her identity when I told her. Presumably, the master also knows Qin You's name, he won't hunt down the wrong person! ”
Hearing this, the man was very puzzled: "Qin You? Why did he chase and kill Princess Jing? ”
Chen Xiuyuan told him in detail what happened that day, and after the man left, Chen Xiuyuan hurried back.
Bai Youlan watched Chen Xiu's distant back disappear, and said, "Who is the master in the mouth of the two of them, and I heard them talk about the fact that person has been inquiring about me?" ”
The breeze and drizzle also shook their heads, this Chen Xiuyuan came out of nowhere, and there was no clue at all before, showing what kind of person he was.
Listening to the meaning of their words, Chen Xiuyuan has been ordered to lurk in the Tong Mansion of the Medicine King Family, and the people in the Tong Mansion have not even noticed it.
In this way, the master in their mouth is really unfathomable, and the layout is so deep!
If it weren't for Chen Xiuyuan not knowing the existence of the breeze and drizzle this time, he wouldn't have been exposed to Bai Youlan's eyes.
"Let's go back."
Bai Youlan was silent for a long time and then said: "In the future, you should pay attention to this Chen Xiuyuan, but you don't have to pay too much attention, presumably he has already passed on the information, and there should be no more action." ”
"Yes, Princess. The subordinates will definitely pay attention, and they will also pay attention to who deliberately approaches the princess after this, and they should be able to find out the slightest clue, and even find out who his master is. ”
Bai Youlan replied lightly, and turned back to the inn without saying a word.
When he got up in the morning, he didn't see any abnormal expression from Chen Xiuyuan, and Bai Youlan treated him as usual, no different from usual.
Chen Xiuyuan saw that after Bai Youlan finished breakfast, he was about to go to Qi Lao's house, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Childe, I heard that Qi Lao has a strange temper, but he only loves one thing, that is, good wine, is Childe ......?"
Bai Youlan nodded slightly and said, "Ke Yiwei, you go to the good tavern in the city to buy a few jars of good wine." ”
"I'm afraid, the good wine of this Pingcheng Tavern can't even be looked down on by Qi Lao."
"So what's the best idea for Xiuyuan?"
Chen Xiuyuan saw Bai Youlan asking, and immediately replied: "My subordinates once saw in the book that the mountains outside Pingcheng are rich in a kind of wine called Bixiang Liquor, but it is extremely rare. ”
"Bixiang Brew? Since it is abundant on Pingcheng Mountain, doesn't Qi Lao also look down on it? ”
"Hui Gongzi, this Bixiang brew is extremely rare, Qi Lao seems to have only drunk it once, and since then he has been full of praise, but it is difficult to drink it a second time, and Qi Lao has been talking about it many times."
"In that case, you should go and take a look at this Bixiang wine."
Bai Youlan is really a little impatient, just to get a medicinal herb, the result is to go around such a big circle!
