Chapter 177: Making a Deal
When the ion time was still a moment away, Yu Chong heard a movement in the corridor. After a while, the hallway was quiet again. After another moment, the sound of the watch outside sounded, and the hour had arrived.
The inn was lively again, Yu Chong listened to the inn guy and Jin Lifu's people arguing loudly, Jin Lifu was relying on the crowd on his side, and the little guy suddenly lost his voice.
There were only a few heavy footsteps, and then the door was kicked open from the outside. The one who had blocked Yu Chong's way earlier rushed to him, glaring angrily.
"The second master is a good means."
Yu Chong looked back at him funny, "What you said is interesting, you can tell me, how did I, Yu Chong, have the means?" ”
The person slapped his hands on the table, and continued with a menacing attitude: "I thought that Second Master Yu was on the road alone, but I didn't expect that Second Master was surrounded by helpers. No wonder you didn't eat a bite of dinner, it turns out that you already knew that the food was poisonous! ”
Yu Chong couldn't help laughing, and the smile made the person's face more and more hideous. "You think too highly of me Yu Chong. Are the people around Jin Lifu all stupid people like you? ”
"You say it again?"
"It seems that you are not only stupid, but also have bad ears."
"Yu Chong! Don't be embarrassed! ”
Yu Chong's sharp cold eyes instantly raised over, "I can't even look at Jin Lifu's face, what are you?" ”
The man's face became more and more hideous, and he was about to touch the thing on his waist.
Suddenly, there was a slight movement outside the window, and in the blink of an eye, two entangled and fighting figures rushed in. Zihua, who was dressed in green clothes and embarrassed, protected Yu Chong behind him, and the one who was guarding outside the window before retreated to his own side.
Thinking of the talisman that Jin Lifu pinched in the palm of his hand, and seeing Zihua rushing over, Yu Chong's heart became more and more worried.
"Where's Qing'an?"
Zihua stared at the person who had fought with him just now, and he didn't dare to be careless. Although he was tense in his nerves, he could also reply to him idly: "There is Yun Zhao, don't worry." ”
Yu Chong's heart fell halfway, and his jaw took two steps back. "You watch out."
As he spoke, the sound of a fight came from the hallway. The faces of the two people opposite Yu Chong changed, and one of them left, leaving only the one who fought Zihua.
As soon as the man walked out, he bumped into a woman head-on. He looked down and saw that it was the female shopkeeper of the Dayue Inn.
The female shopkeeper was full of surprise and clinged to him. "Murder! Big brother, save me, big brother! ”
"Go away!"
When the man saw that the corridor was full of corpses under his hands, his heart sank suddenly, and his whole body suddenly felt weak. He was shocked that he was afraid that he had been poisoned, so he pushed the female shopkeeper out with all his strength, "Get out!" ”
Who knew that when he let go, the originally delicate female shopkeeper actually conjured a dagger out of nowhere, and a very fast move easily cut off his two tendons. Before he could react, he took out a small box that he had hidden in his chest, opened it, grabbed the Gu worm inside, and sent it directly into his mouth.
The man was terrified, but his tendons had been broken, and he was even weaker because of poisoning, so he could only be killed by Gu worms.
The female shopkeeper wiped the dagger in his hand clean on him, and then stepped into the door, and said happily to Zihua: "Senior brother! ”
The face of the man who fought with Zihua was ruthless, and he attacked with a sword. Zihua took this opportunity to raid from behind, and he and the female shopkeeper cooperated tacitly, so that people could not bargain for a little bit.
Yu Chong's eyes shrank dangerously and walked quickly to the door. As soon as he swept the corpses in the corridor, he had a bottom in his heart, and he held his breath and stepped out. The corpse on the ground was only half of what he had seen when he returned from dinner, and Jin Lifu's guest room had long been empty, leaving only two pools of blood on the ground. He frowned, looked down the window, and saw several footprints of different shades on the ground.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned his gaze to a certain place, and really saw the incense box that was taken away by Jin Lifu before. When the box was opened, the emerald leaf earrings were lying in perfect condition. He pursed the corners of his lips slightly, put the box away, and put it in his arms.
"Red grapefruit!"
Suddenly hearing an exclamation, Yu Chong hurriedly hurried back. Zihua held on to the window lattice, with the intention of chasing out. Yu Chong came over and grabbed him, "Poor Kou Mo chases." ”
"But the red grapefruit has already chased it out."
"Red grapefruit has its own measure." Yu Chong swept the clothes on Zihua's body, and finally looked at the back of his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Are you injured?" ”
Zihua put his hand back and hidden, "It's a trivial matter." I'm afraid that the movement at this time has already disturbed Shi Yuanzhou's official mansion, so let's leave first. ”
Yu Chong bowed.
Jin Lifu chartered the entire inn, and killed and injured a large number of them, except for the horses that were ridden, there were one or two good horses tethered to the stable. Yu Chong jumped on one of them, "I want to go back to the capital, you continue to chase Qing'an, you must protect him." ”
Zihua was stunned for a moment, and dodged in front of him to block it.
"You're crazy, can you still go back to the capital at this time? Cheng Zirui is now in collusion with Jin Lifu, along the way, either Jin Lifu's people are Cheng Zirui's people, do you want to go back to be a colt or go back to die in a hurry? Could there be something more important than Qing'an? ”
"Qing'er is still in the capital."
Yu Chong only replied with one sentence, and Zihua was shocked in place. His expression was indistinguishable, but his steps unconsciously retreated.
"Be careful all the way."
"Hmm."
In order to rush back to the capital as soon as possible, Yu Chong could only take the pipeline, go to a certain place, and when he realized that something was wrong, he already had the sound of cold arrows swishing in his ears. Left and right sides in unison, he was in the middle of the position, and he couldn't dodge at all......
Capital.
After three or four days in a row, Tong Yuqing didn't see Ziyue come over to provoke trouble again, and there was no suspicion around her, she had dispelled her suspicions about Ziyue, turned around, but she was getting better and better to Ah Jing, and she simply spoiled her as her own sister. As long as it is something sent by Cheng Zirui, there is a share of Ah Jing.
Ah Jing didn't dare to accept her favor at first, Tong Yuqing just told Ah Jing about her injury, and easily asked Ah Jing to dispel her doubts and get closer to Tong Yuqing.
On this day, Zhuyun sent some brocade over and put them in front of Tong Yuqing's eyes one by one for her to see. "This is the new brocade, the prince said that when the princess chooses it, he will invite the garment workshop in the palace to come and measure the princess."
Tong Yuqing's expression was so sad that she didn't bother to take a look. Ah Jing was interested, looking at this for a while, and touching that for a while.
Zhuyun's face sank, "Presumptuous! ”
Ah Jing trembled in fright, and the brocade on her hand fell to the ground.
"What are you doing so loudly?" Tong Yuqing looked at Zhuyun, and her voice couldn't help but become cold. She pointed to the brocades that Ah Jing had noticed just now, "This, this, all sent to Ah Jing." ”
Zhuyun's face was a little ugly, but he couldn't refute it. "Did you hear that, hurry up and send Miss Ah Jing to the house."
Ah Jing girl?
In addition to the princess in front of her, there is only Ziyue who is called a girl. What identity can Ah Jing be called a girl? Zhuyun said this, but he just wanted to embarrass Ah Jing.
The two girls waiting in the room turned white with fright, and hurriedly retreated with the cloth in their arms. Ah Jing was a little embarrassed, and leaned over to Tong Yuqing's side and whispered: "The slave is just a subordinate, where can I use such a good thing." ”
Tong Yuqing's eyebrows furrowed, and she personally turned over a pink dress that she had just brought and had not yet worn, and handed it to her. "You're the girl I like, and I chose the name, so I can't be nice to you yet?"
Ah Jing's frightened face was a little proud, although she was very quick to hide it, she was still caught by the sharp-eyed bamboo cloud.
According to the usual Zhuyun, who should have left early, he was in the house, Tong Yuqing looked at her puzzled, saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, her eyes turned slightly, and said to Zhuyun: "You ask them to send all the brocade to Ah Jing's house." ”
"All?"
"All."
Without waiting for Zhuyun to speak, she called Ah Jing again and said, "Ah Jing, you go back and take a look, and you can keep whichever you like." I don't need you this afternoon, you can rest well. ”
Ah Jingxi smiled, but Zhuyun was present, and she was not too presumptuous, so she obediently said yes and retreated.
As soon as the talent left, Zhuyun hurriedly spoke.
"What do you mean, princess? What exactly do you want to do to Jing? Or, what do you want from Jing? ”
Tong Yuqing's eyebrows jumped, and she looked at Zhuyun deeply.
She forgot, from the first time she saw Zhuyun, she knew that this was not a simple girl, so she got along, and she knew that Zhuyun's heart was bright, and there was nothing she couldn't see through.
Although there were already doubtful people in her heart, Tong Yuqing still didn't know whether to trust Zhuyun or not.
After all, Zhuyun is Cheng Zirui's person.
"Guess the slave, the princess wants to find out about the poisoning in the palace?" Zhuyun looked straight at her, "It just so happens that the slave has a clue in her hand." However, the slave wants to make a deal with the princess. ”
