After Liluo returned to Jiangfu, he felt weak, and the nobles of Jingshi were too difficult to mess with.

She suddenly remembered what King Jingyu of Jin told her in Tanshan, what she was looking for was likely to have left Tanshan, since he knew that he was looking for zombies, he must have been alert to her, although she had palpitations, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Jing Yu is known as the "Ghost Face Yama", presumably he has something powerful, his own thing as a jade rat apprentice may be discovered by him sooner or later, when the day comes, how should he deal with it?

A dreamless night.

Early the next morning, Liluo received a letter from Ning Yi, asking her to meet her at Biyue Boat Workshop at noon, thinking that she would go to Yuexi Pavilion with Shen Xitong in the afternoon, Liluo hurriedly changed into men's clothes and went to the appointment.

There are still three days left before the Midyear Festival, and it must be that the Blue Stygian Flower has a new clue.

Liluo asked Huaihua to go to Shen Mansion to deliver a letter, saying that he had not gone to Shen Mansion from time to time, and after explaining, he took Zimi and Yuzhu, who were also dressed in disguise, to Biyue Shipyard.

Ning Yi was already waiting in the boat workshop, he was very fond of drinking, and he was drinking himself outside the window at this time.

Looking at the door of Liluo, this person was wearing an ink-colored robe today, with a red leather belt tied around his waist, and the light and shadow shone in, making his face even more straight.

After the pear fell into the door, Ning Yi suddenly raised her head and said to her with a smile, "Are you planning to wear men's clothes when you see me in the future?" ”

After hearing this, Liluo's footsteps stopped, her fair face flushed slightly, and she said with some embarrassment, "Women's clothes are afraid of attracting people's eyes, after all, I am an official eunuch woman who has not left the cabinet." ”

Ning Yi felt a little weak when she heard this, thinking about whether she was a little presumptuous, what if she didn't want to come out to see her in the future, so she said softly, "It's just a joke, Sister Liluo doesn't have to care, come and sit." After speaking, he pointed to the seat in front of him.

After Pear Luo sat down, he asked, "Listen to what your letter says, is there any news from the Blue Styx Flower?" ”

"That's a good guess, but I'm worried that the letter is not clear, and the letter says that it is not safe, I have already called Chongqing (Huangpu Changjian, word) to come over, and he will be there in a while." Ning Yi replied, he was worried that Liluo didn't know who Chongqing was, so he continued, "Chongqing is the epigraph of Huangpu Changjian, don't look at his personality is a little arrogant, in fact, he is honest and righteous, and he is bold and flexible, and he has business dealings with many places in the northwest." ”

"yes, I know." Liluo nodded in agreement, the last time she saw Huangpu Changjian's attitude towards his sister, she had already felt it, this person was cold and warm-hearted, he became the sect leader of the family at a young age, presumably he has something special, Ning Yi is responsible for doing intelligence, Huangpu Changjian is indeed a good news channel.

After saying this, there was some silence between the two, Liluo took a sip of tea, and saw that Ning Yi was still drinking with a wine glass, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why do you like drinking so much?" After finishing speaking, Liluo felt a little regretful in her heart, feeling that she was a little nosy.

Ning Yi put down his wine glass after hearing this, looked at Jiang Liluo with a pair of starry eyes, leaned on the table with his hands folded and replied softly, "It's just a drink, it won't hurt you." There was still an indescribable smile on his face.

After all, Liluo's experience in dating men is very limited, her face is flushed at the moment, and she feels very embarrassed for a while, feeling like she is deliberately caring about him, she hurriedly wants to find a topic to make herself less embarrassed, "Yesterday I went to Tanshan with Cousin Xitong to visit my grandmother, and met His Royal Highness King Jin in the back mountain. ”

Ning Yi's expression changed slightly after hearing this, "Jingyu? ”

Liluo nodded, "The last time I went to the Shen Mansion, it was the time when you were there, Cousin Xitong told me that she saw zombies when she came back from Tanshan, I was worried that they would come out to make trouble during the Midyear Festival, so I thought about going over to see what was going on, but I didn't expect the third prince to be there, and he also told me, "Liluo hesitated, Ning Yi didn't interrupt, she continued to speak," He said, what I was looking for is likely to have left Tanshan, and he will personally check where it went. Liluo hadn't slept well last night, and she kept thinking about this sentence in her heart.

"You are worried about your grandmother's safety, go to the back mountain to check the whereabouts of the zombies, even if Jing Yu knows, it is understandable, besides, you are the daughter of Lord Shaoqing Jiang of Dali Temple, and there is nothing to doubt about being interested in detectives." Ning Yi comforted her.

He knew that delicate-minded girls always had a lot of things to worry about, but Ning Yi was also secretly thinking in his heart, Jing Yu was a person with great insight and liked to chase to the end, if he knew that Liluo was the apprentice of the Jianghu Jade Mouse, it would indeed be a little troublesome.

At this time, footsteps sounded, and a man wearing a royal blue jade brocade round-necked robe walked in, this person was seven feet long, with a pair of slender black eyes containing sharp eyes, it was Huangpu Changjian.

Riluo hurriedly got up and saluted, for some reason, she felt a little nervous every time she saw this person.

After Huangpu Changjian sat down, Ning Yi went straight to the point, "You told me that it was inconvenient to talk about it in a letter, but now you can say it." After speaking, he personally poured a cup of excellent Guzhu purple bamboo shoots, this tea is produced in Huzhou, and it is the best tribute tea.

Huangpu Changjian took a sip of tea, turned the wrench on his thumb, and did not answer directly, but asked Liluodao, "Is it Lord Jiang who released the news of the major transaction of the Midyear Festival through Shangguanli?" ”

Liluo didn't expect Huangpu Changjian to suddenly ask herself, she shook her head after some hesitation and said, "I haven't seen my father for a while, and I don't know too much about this." ”

Huangpu Changjian was not annoyed when he heard it, he said, "I have already found the Blue Shadow Flower, this flower is from the Western Regions, it is extremely domineering and evil, Lord Ruojiang wants to catch the Flowing Fire Cloud with his own hands, it is best to ask if this flower has a way to save it." ”

"Don't sell it, tell the information you got and listen to it, how is this flower domineering and evil?" Ning Yi asked on the side, for some reason, after getting to know Pear, he was always worried that he would inadvertently hurt this girl.

Huangpu Changjian continued to flick the wrench in his hand, and said unhurriedly, "The blue flower comes from the Buta River in the south of the Western Regions, the locals call this flower the Buta Divine Flower, it is extremely precious and rare, basically only controlled by the tribal nobles there, the reason why this flower is domineering is that it can be burned instantly after being ignited, it is extremely difficult to extinguish it with ordinary methods, and the evil thing is that it has a psychedelic effect after it is burned, if it is used by people with intentions, it can create the illusion it wants people to create." ”

Seeing that Ning Yi and Liluo were a little shocked and didn't speak, he continued, "So, this 'ghost' in the Midyear Festival can be said to be very difficult to catch, don't blame me for not reminding you, there are many people traveling in the Midyear Festival, in case they use the Blue Shadow Flower to commit crimes again, there will be more than these three people killed or injured." ”

Riluo tried to keep her composure, but her heart was already turbulent, "Then do you know how this flower got to the Central Plains?" Liluo couldn't help but ask, find channels and buyers, you can get closer to the truth.

"I don't know this, the channels and buyers behind this let Zeling go and check, he is a little more proficient than me, I am just a businessman, and the information I can know is limited, but," Huangpu Changjian glanced at Ning Yi, "For the sake of our friendship, I will reveal a little more to you, when I checked this tribe, what surprised me was that Dugu Yin did a very good business with this tribe, and the silk used for the best silk clothes they sold in the Yuexi Pavilion was produced here." ”

Yuexi Pavilion, Dugu groaned, and Liluo's mind was spinning rapidly.

"Brother Huangpu, there is still something I want to ask for advice about Liluo." Riraku asked.

Huangpu Changjian glanced at Liluo, "You say." ”

"Does Tian Silk only supply Dugu Yin's family, or do other families also have it?"

"As far as I know, the production of celestial silk in the Buta tribe is limited, almost rare in the world, so they only cooperate with the Dugu family." After speaking, he seemed to be a little admired, "But if you want to know how Dugu Yin did it, I guess you still have to ask him himself." Time is pressing, I advise you to think of a way to get Lord Jiang to cancel this arrest, once there is another murder, it will be difficult for him to lose his black yarn hat. ”

Seeing that Liluo was a little silent, he raised his head and said to Ning Yi, "Zeling, I have to leave in advance, and the rest will be handed over to you." ”

"Okay, let's have a drink next time." Ning Yi replied, and Huangpu Changjian nodded and turned to leave.

Ning Yi saw that Liluo was still silent in a low voice, so he said to her, "How do you call everyone else brother, big brother or something, call me Ning Gongzi when you call me." There seemed to be a lot of dissatisfaction in the tone.

Riluo smiled slightly embarrassedly when she heard it, and just shouted out in a hurry, without thinking too much, "Then what should I call you?" She asked.

"They all call me Zeling, how many years older than you, you can call me Brother Zeling, or like Xitong, call me Brother Ning." Ning Yi poured a cup of tea for Liluo as he spoke.

Seeing that this person in front of him spoke softly, without the shelf of a family, Liluo couldn't help but feel close to him in his heart, "That Liluo will also call you Brother Ning in the future." It's just that for some reason, her face turned slightly red, and she hurriedly changed the topic, "Sister Xitong asked me to go to Yuexi Pavilion to buy clothes in a while, and I want to stop by to see their Tiansilk clothes." ”

After seeing her like this, Ning Yi felt satisfied for some reason.

Ning Yi thought for a while and said, "Liluo, will you go on the day of the Midyear Festival?" There was a slight worry on his face.

Liluo nodded without thinking, "The day of the Midyear Festival is the key to solving the case, I will definitely go, I will protect myself, and you don't have to worry too much about my safety." ”

"Well," Ning Yi nodded after hearing this, "Recently, there has been a rumor in the rivers and lakes, and Huangpu Changjian suspects that your father released it, saying that there is a major transaction on the day of the Midyear Festival, and I estimate that all the Jianghu characters in the Jingshi will go." ”

"I haven't seen my father these days, and I haven't asked him about the progress of the case, Brother Ning, do you know what the transaction is?" Riro was eager to know more about it, she had suspected that there were people involved in the rivers and lakes, and they were all related to a treasure.

"Hanging Ming painting," Ning Yi replied, "After the fall of Chen in the previous dynasty, it is said that there is a priceless treasure in the world hidden in the mausoleum of the Chen dynasty, called the hanging Ming painting, which was made by Gu Yu, a great painter of the previous dynasty. There are many rumors about this painting, some say that the painting hides the treasures looted by the Chen dynasty from all over the world, some say that there is a shocking martial arts secret book hidden in it, and some people say, "Ning Yi suddenly lowered his voice," the hanging painting can solve all the unsolved mysteries in the world, which is why this painting is called hanging ming. ”

The world's most treasure, martial arts cheats, can be the world's unsolved mysteries, any one, has a fatal attraction to people, if this painting is to be traded, and it is unearthed from the mausoleum of the Chen Dynasty, then it is very likely to be the group of tomb robbers that my father said last time, Shangguanli, Liluo suddenly thought of this name, it turned out that my father deliberately set up such a bureau, in addition to draining the fire cloud to appear, but also intentionally led to the manipulator behind it, but if the blue underworld flower is not solved, this bureau is likely to become a breakthrough.

There are still three days to go, thinking of the time, Liluo said to Ning Yi, "Brother Ning, I asked Cousin Xitong to go to Yuexi Pavilion, and I am ready to leave, thank you for telling me so many clues." ”

Ning Yi smiled and said, "Eat some pastries and then leave, no matter how smart your brain is, you can't turn without eating." ”

At this time, Aunt Tu came in with some snacks, "This is what my son-in-law specially ordered, and I don't know what the girl likes to eat, so I prepared a little." At this time, there were fish cakes, lotus root flour osmanthus sugar cakes, hawthorn horseshoe cakes, Suzhou-style orange cakes, etc., which were placed very elegantly. ”

Aunt Tu said modestly, "The things that can't be on the table make the girl smile, mainly because our son-in-law has vision." After saying that, he smiled and retired.

"So much, how do I finish eating?" Riro looked at the pastry and said, thinking about which one to eat first.

"Don't you have a few delicious girls in your family, let Aunt Tu pack the rest for you later." Ning Yi said with a smile, and as he spoke, he sandwiched a piece of fish cake and put it in the pear bowl, "Try this, Aunt Tu's specialty pastry, steamed for several hours." ”

Liluo hurriedly tasted it, it was soft and delicious, and the tenderness of the fish was completely integrated into it.

Seeing that the pear fell and was overjoyed, Ning Yi smiled and said, "If you like it, you will often come to eat it in the future." ”

Many years later, when Liluo recalled this scene, she would always feel that Ning Yi's face in front of her looked so gentle.
