Chapter Eighty-Three: Mingjin Withdraws His Troops Like Smoke Encounters a Crisis
At night, the inn of Julai
As soon as the group returned to the Julai Inn, Ning Yi and Lang Qingfeng were drinking tea in the lobby, because they didn't know the entrance of the Julai Inn, and the people who stayed in the Julai Inn did not have the orders of King Jin, and they didn't dare to let them in without permission, so they had to stay in the inn.
Lang Qingfeng rushed back from Yanzhi Mountain in the evening, because Shen Muzhou had received an order to go back to the northwest to deal with military affairs, he went to the door to find Ning Yi. Ning Yi didn't say a word, he took him to the Julai Inn, but he didn't expect that he found the exit of the passage in the prospect of them coming, and had already acted, so they had to wait patiently.
When Jiang Liluo came from the cellar, he was very surprised to see Ning Yi and Lang Qingfeng at the inn, but he was also very surprised. Seeing that King Jingyu of Jin was still settling the personnel, Liluo hurriedly ran over, briefly said a few words about tonight's operation, and implored the national teacher to check on the poisoned people, saying that one of them was the corpse poison of the Five Poisons Sect.
Lang Qingfeng's attitude towards Liluo was still lukewarm, but his life was at stake, he didn't dare to slack off, so he walked up to Jing Yu to explain his intentions, and Jing Yu hurriedly took him forward to check, which was a life-saving spring for him.
When Lang Qingfeng passed by the jade rat, his face was still cold. When Jia Bei learned that this person who looked like a white-faced scholar was Lang Qingfeng, he almost jumped up with joy, and hurriedly sent someone to send him a message to Jia Yun.
The jade rat knew that he couldn't help much at this time, but it made Lang Qingfeng uncomfortable here, so he took Li Qingsong and left first. When leaving, he looked at Ning Yi, and Ning Yi nodded lightly, indicating that he would contact him afterwards.
"How's it going?" Ning Yi's soft voice came from behind Liluo, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he just watched Liluo walk out together behind Jingyu.
This operation is a bit complicated, Liluo didn't know where to start for a while, and only said in a low voice: "The woman in black who arrested the master is named Shangguan Yu, she seems to be a member of the Five Poisons Sect, when she was arrested, she was shot by her own people and has died, and the matter is now taken over by the people of Dali Temple." For some reason, after seeing Shangguan Yu's death, she felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.
Ning Yi wanted to know more details, but he also knew that now was not a good time to speak, so he only said softly: "It's okay if you're okay, do you have time tomorrow, come to Biyue Shipyard to find me, and I'll take you to an interesting place." "He seems to want to pull one back in some ways.
When Liluo heard "interesting place", a pair of bright apricot eyes looked at Ning Yi, wanting to figure out the meaning in his eyes, and Ning Yi gently rubbed his hair, and said, "You'll know when you go." ”
Jing Yu saw this scene not far away, and there was something wrong in his heart.
Lang Qingfeng gave some pills to the people who had been poisoned by the corpse, saying that these medicines could only temporarily restrain the toxicity in their bodies, and if he wanted to eradicate it, he would need some materials.
Jing Yu asked him to list all the materials he wanted, and asked his men to hurry to grab the medicine. He looked up at the window, and the night was getting dark, so he sent someone to bring the pear back. Seeing that the few of them seemed to have something important to discuss, Liluo nodded, and took advantage of the night to ride a horse to the backyard of Jiangfu.
After Liluo left, Jing Yu found a single room, and he, Ning Yi and Lang Qingfeng sat together and began to peel off the cocoon.
Jing Yu was the first to speak: "Although Shangguan Yu is dead, this inn, secret passage, and Xiuyu dyeing workshop have exposed a lot of clues. ”
Lang Qingfeng and Ning Yi listened quietly on the side, and Jing Yu continued: "First of all, Shangguan Yu is a person from the rivers and lakes, if she is not mistaken, she is the ghost-faced mother-in-law of the Five Poisons Sect who was dominant in the rivers and lakes before, and the scars on her face are caused by practicing poison skills. ”
"How can people from the rivers and lakes appear in the Xiuyu Dyeing Workshop, isn't the Xiuyu Dyeing Workshop the industry of Changsun Ming?" Ning Yi frowned slightly after speaking, and the candle flame flickered the shadows of the three of them.
Jing Yu nodded after hearing this, and said: "There are two possibilities, one is that the ghost-faced mother-in-law was bought by Changsun Ming and became Changsun Ming's thug and took money to do things. The other is that the ghost-faced mother-in-law and the eldest grandson Ming are both under the orders of one person at the same time, so the two will be related. ”
Ning Yi thought for a while and said, "I prefer the second type, if the ghost-faced mother-in-law obeys the orders of the eldest grandson, the Julai Inn and the Xiuyu Dyeing Workshop will not be exposed so easily." ”
Lang Qingfeng could only listen attentively, and did not speak, he still had a light face. Seeing that Jing Yu and Ning Yi were deep in thought, he spoke: "I'm more curious, who killed the ghost-faced mother-in-law Shangguan Yu, what does this mastermind who is behind the clouds and rain want to do?" ”
Jing Yu replied: "She is the poison dart of the Five Poisons Sect's own people, it is very poisonous, not like the corpse poison of the Five Poisons Sect, she immediately died of poison, obviously someone is killing people." ”
"I heard that the Five Poisons Sect originated in the desert region, we might as well analyze it from another angle, who in the Jingshi has the ability to control people from the desert?" After Ning Yi finished speaking, he wrapped his hands around his chest, and compared to Jing Yu and Lang Qingfeng, his temperament was a little more casual. Jing Yu and Lang Qingfeng immediately thought of someone and said, "Yeluqu."
"But Changsun Ming is also involved, what does he have to do with the desert, isn't he from Fuzhou?" Jing Yu frowned and asked.
"He said he was from Fuzhou, but no one had ever investigated the truth." Ning Yi said slowly, in the night, the thoughts of the few of them were clearer.
The night was dark, and several people chatted more engagedly. Jing Yu decided to let Ning Yi investigate Wu Shu, a member of the household department he said, while he specially investigated the background of Changsun Ming, and continued to send people to keep an eye on Yeluqu. Lang Qingfeng, as a backup, temporarily stayed in Jingshi to help them investigate Yeluqu together.
On Ning Yi's way back to his house, he heard a strange whistle, he hurriedly stopped his horse and looked towards the place where the whistle sounded, only to see Nangong Wushuang with a few smiles on his lips, leaning against the wall on the one hand, clasping his hands around his chest, looking at the ease of the people in the rivers and lakes. Ning Yi dismounted and walked over, he smiled and said, "Let's go, drink!" ”
"No work!" Nangong Wushuang directly refused, "Master, I'm busy, besides, drinking alcohol hurts your body, and it also affects your master's practice." ”
"Then what do you say?" Ning Yi had no choice but to say.
"I caught a person next to Yeluqu, I think you might be interested, how about making a deal with me?" Nangong Wushuang's chic and uninhibited face raised his eyebrows.
"Oh? How do you want to trade? Ning Yi also held his hands behind his back at this time, and under the moonlight, his figure was long.
"Help me find someone, her name is Feng Ling'er, she is said to be a beauty, and she has also appeared in Jingshi recently."
"Feng Ling'er?" At the mention of this name, Ning Yi instantly frowned.
"I also got the news a while ago, Feng Ling'er is the daughter of the same Liao country in Duyu, she was sent to the countryside for a period of time, and the couple was kind to her. It was only later, due to a natural disaster, that couple died, and Feng Ling'er lived on the streets for a while, and then there was no news. I didn't want to see her for many years, she turned into the first beauty in martial arts, in my opinion, behind this, it should be related to her biological father. ”
What kind of beauty, a poisonous scorpion, Ning Yi snorted coldly: "I'll find it for you, but you have to hand over the guard to me first." ”
Although it was a loss-making deal, Nangong Wushuang still readily agreed, and before leaving, he also reminded Ning Yi: "Find a way to protect Ruyan, Yeluqu wants to get her to Liao State." ”
Ning Yi was shocked, but also nodded solemnly.
Baihualou
The Oiran of Baihualou Ruyan has been closed these days, she is sick, at first, the maid Xiaohan thought it was an ordinary wind cold, she found someone to prescribe some medicine, but after eating for a few days, it has not been good, but the spirit is getting worse and worse, and nightmares continue, often talking in the middle of the night, and often getting up in the morning is a cold sweat.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Han faintly heard the sound of rustling next to her ear, as if someone was touching her ear, she had always slept very lightly, and immediately woke up, rubbed her eyes, and asked tentatively, "Miss?" ”
Ruyan saw that Xiaohan had woken up, and said weakly on her pale face: "I didn't want to wake you up, but I woke you up." Xiao Han hurriedly got up and hugged Ruyan, and said in a trembling voice: "Girl, why don't you wake me up on such a cold day, and you don't have a piece of clothing on your body." ”
Ruyan knew that Xiao Han really cared about her, so she said softly: "You go and light the candlelight, I have something to tell you." After Xiao Han helped Ruyan to sit down, he hurriedly did so, and went to get a coat and draped it on Ruyan's body.
Ruyan's face was cold, Xiao Han hurriedly went to make her a pot of hot tea, Ruyan took a sip of hot tea, and then eased up, she said with a straight face: "Don't leak a word of what I'm telling you now, including your little sister and the mother in the building." ”
Xiao Han saw Ruyan's serious face, nodded hurriedly, and pointed to the sky and said, "Girl, Xiao Han swears to the sky and will never say half a sentence to the outside world." ”
Ruyan knew that Xiaohan was simple-minded and loyal to her, so she said with a strong spirit: "I don't know who it is, but I have been targeted recently, and in three days at most, there will be a mastermind behind the scenes who will rob me or kill me." ”
When Xiao Han heard this, her eyes widened, she trembled, and said in a crying voice: "Girl, don't scare Xiao Han, which heartless person is eyeing you?" '
"Shhhhhh Ruyan's voice was soft, but his face was cold.
Xiao Han became more and more scared after hearing it, her body couldn't stop trembling, she was sold into the Qinglou when she was very young, she had been burning fire in the firewood room, and then she followed Ruyan behind her, she felt a little warmth and the value of living in this world, she secretly wiped away her tears, and said to Ruyan Zhengse: "Girl, who wants to harm you, Xiao Han went to fight with her." She looked awe-inspiring, as if she was ready to fight with others.
After listening to this, Ruyan chuckled lightly on his pale face, took Xiao Han's hand and said, "I don't need you to work hard, let's find a way to leave this place together, okay?" ”
Xiao Han nodded desperately and said firmly: "Where the girl goes, I will go, Xiao Han has followed the girl all her life, and saddled the horse for the girl." ”
Ruyan smiled after hearing this, she touched Xiao Han's little head, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes, and after a while, she said: "First of all, I have to find a way to change the medicine, and I have to refuse all people's visits, saying that I have been dreaming of someone crawling under the bed recently, I can't do it, I need to recuperate, and I don't want to see anyone." I have already broken with Nangong Wushuang, he is moody and has a very high self-esteem, I guess he will not come to help me, you go and help me find Ouyang Gongzi, and let him get me out within three days. He is a noble in the court, and there must be a way. ”
Ruyan retrieved Ouyang's reply, he promised to redeem himself, but these days, Baihualou's mother said that the owner did not come back, and he did not dare to make a decision, and now it seems that extraordinary measures must be taken.
Xiao Han thought of a person in his mind after hearing it, so he said cautiously: "Why doesn't the girl ask His Royal Highness the King of Jin, I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Jin has extremely high martial arts and is known as His Royal Highness the Ghost Face Yama, presumably these little devils can't get close." ”
Ruyan sighed, for a man who is not tempted, whatever he asks him to do will be his burden, why should he ask for that boring. She had no choice but to explain: "His Royal Highness King Jin is too busy to take care of us. ”
Seeing Ruyan's sad look, Xiao Han knew that the girl was actually moved by His Royal Highness the King of Jin, but this kind of affection could not be expressed, so she could only press it in her heart and be sad, after all, a man like King Jin was not something that their Qinglou women could think about, not to mention, every time King Jin came, he just talked to the girl and drank.
It was late at night, and after the smoke was finished, he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Xiao Han began to refuse to visit Ruyan, only saying that the girl Ruyan was frightened, and always felt that there was something under the bed, asking for her life, and she couldn't see anyone now, not even the mother of Baihualou, and she was anxious for the fat mother to stomp her feet.
If it weren't for the fact that the owner went to Jiangnan and didn't come back, she couldn't wait to immediately pack Ruyan and send it to the Ouyang family's son-in-law, and it was very painful to get the money. Now she doesn't see any guests or people like smoke, and the silver flows in vain every day, and she feels so distressed that her heart and liver hurt, but she just stomped her feet and walked away.
Xue Qiao girl from Baihualou went to visit Ruyan, but was also blocked by Xiao Han at the door, Xue Qiao argued with Xiao Han, saying that she and Ruyan are good sisters, and now Ruyan is sick, but she can't even look at it, in case Ruyan is robbed by someone, who can afford this responsibility.
Ruyan heard Xue Qiao's words clearly, she quickly recalled Xue Qiao's actions in the past two days, Xue Qiao rarely walked with her on weekdays, she was sick in the past two days but seemed very enthusiastic, she came to see her every once in a while, and liked to hold her hand to hold her home, she secretly thought in her heart, Xue Qiao, may have been bought.
Thinking of this, she replied in a hoarse voice: "Sister Xue Qiao, I just don't dare to see people, people are still there." There seemed to be a sense of timidity in his voice, as if he had been approached by a ghost.
Xue Qiao was a little embarrassed, but she also hurriedly said sweetly: "In this case, Sister Ruyan will recuperate first, and Sister will not bother." She waited outside the door for a while, and when Ruyan didn't reply, she turned and strode away.
