Chapter 31: Embarking on the Return Journey
"You...... You said that Nie Tao of the Lotus Sect, he also likes Xin'er? Li Jun stared at Chu Xiao incredulously.
Chu Xiao put down the teacup, took out a copy of "Jianghu Gossip Interesting Stories No. 12", and showed it to Li Jun.
"On page 23, someone witnessed Nie Tao meeting your Xin'er in the restaurant, and even Nie Tao teased your Xin'er. Didn't your family Xin'er tell you about this little episode? Chu Xiao said lightly.
Li Jun glanced at ten lines, and after reading the book handed to him by Li Jun, he was furious, slapped the table and said, "How can this be reasonable, Nie Tao is so bold!" ”
"Gongzi Li, you have to send someone to the Lotus Sect to inquire about the news. If the information I provide is accurate, you will remember to send the reward to me at that time. You have paid a deposit of one hundred taels, and the remaining two hundred taels of silver, I am looking forward to it. Chu Xiao smiled warmly, and his abacus played loudly.
Yao Yuran was dumbfounded, it seems that doing this Tingyulou business is better than opening a restaurant, and Tingyulou does not need a cost, but Tingyulou must have enough intelligence network.
In other words, Chu Xiao may have raised a group of secret guards who worked hard for him to help him collect all kinds of intelligence. Yao Yuran remembered that last night, a few black shadows flashed outside the window, maybe they were Chu Xiao's subordinates.
"Thank you Young Master Chu, I will say goodbye!" Li Jun clasped his hands into fists and said goodbye to Chu Xiao.
After Li Jun left, Yao Yuran clapped his palms and said, "It is worthy of being the owner of the Yulou, and he earned a sum of money in three or two sentences." ”
Chu Xiao waved his hand, and said lightly: "Don't lift me up, I just see more than others, and my memory is better than ordinary people." ”
"By the way, can you lend me this book of "Interesting Stories of Jianghu Gossip" to browse?" Yao Yuran became interested in the book in Chu Xiao's hand.
Yao Yuran opened the book, and at a glance, he saw that there happened to be a 'great joy' in this book about Yao Yuran, the daughter of Shangshu, marrying the second son of Zhao of the Hou Yefu.
Although the above report is indeed serious, the words are too exaggerated, and Zhao Hengzhi is one of the four beautiful men in the capital???
Yao Yuran raised his head, looked at Zhao Hengzhi carefully up and down, left and right, and didn't find where Zhao Heng's beauty was...... Could it be that the lover is in the eye of the Shih Tzu and the enemy is in the eye of the pest?
"Mrs. Zhao, if you like this kind of book, I can give you a few free copies." Chu Xiao saw that Yao Yuran was very involved in reading it, thinking that she liked this kind of book, so he took out ten more copies of "Jianghu Gossip Interesting Stories" of different issues.
Zhao Hengzhi saw that Chu Xiao and Yao Yuran seemed to be in love and had a good conversation, and an inexplicable jealousy suddenly surged in his heart.
"Kiss the lady, my feet are almost better, it's time for us to leave Tingyulou!" Zhao Hengzhi gritted his teeth and said, although he didn't like to see Yao Yuran so much, he didn't want his head to glow green.
Ye Junjun also heard this, she hadn't seen Chu Xiao and Zhao Hengzhi reap love with her own eyes, and Zhao Hengzhi actually had the intention of leaving.
No, she's not going to let that happen!
"Isn't your injury still healed? Who have you deceived? Ye Junjun said, moved his hand, and tried Zhao Hengzhi's feet.
"Ahhh Zhao Hengzhi screamed in pain, and almost didn't cry on the spot.
Yao Yuran didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and ate melon seeds with peace of mind.
The days passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. In just ten days, an old man who had lost a cat or a dog at the entrance of the village came to inquire, a scheming court official came to buy valuable news, and Li Jun sent someone to send the remaining three hundred taels of silver.
And Yao Yuran's life is very easy, every day she watches the stupid and cute girl Ye Junjun play treasure and sell her cute appearance, and all the troubles are swept away.
Zhao Hengzhi took advantage of Ye Junjun's lack of attention, hurriedly leaned over, and whispered in Yao Yuran's ear: "Dear lady, we should go, if we stay like this, no matter how rich the Chu Mansion Master is, he will be eaten by us." ”
In fact, Zhao Hengzhi was stared at by Ye Junjun every day, and he insisted that he and Chu Xiao cultivate a relationship. Zhao Heng thought that if he stayed like this any longer, sooner or later he would be a straight man of steel and break into broken sleeves that were more curved than mosquito coils.
"Husband Junjun, I also miss my family's green bamboo and star feathers!" Yao Yuran said with emotion.
Although she is a daughter, she is a brother and sister to Qingzhu and Xingyu, and she has never looked down on them.
"Hey, what are you two plotting?" Ye Junjun suddenly burst out.
"No, nothing." Zhao Hengzhi avoided Ye Junjun's inquiring eyes, he walked to his room and silently packed his baggage.
Ye Junjun saw that Zhao Hengzhi was obviously going to leave Tingyulou, and hurriedly ran to report the news to Chu Xiao.
"It's over! It's over! Chu Mansion Lord! Ye Junjun shouted in panic.
Chu Xiao put down the book in his hand, raised his head, and glanced at Ye Junjun contemptuously, "You're just finished, your whole family is finished." "He's still looking like a cold iceberg.
Ye Junjun turned a blind eye to the cold air emanating from Chu Xiao's body, and she said with a sad expression: "Master Chu Building, your family's little suffer, is now packing up the baggage, and wants to elope with Yao Yuran!" ”
"What? Are they leaving? Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, his eyes, which were originally plain as water, finally had a hint of brilliance.
He pinched his fingers and counted, it had been more than ten days since the secret guard sent the news to the Hou Ye Mansion, but there was no movement at all on the Hou Ye Mansion, could it be that he was asking too high, and the people in the Hou Ye Mansion couldn't afford this price?
Chu Xiao didn't have a bottom in his heart, but people were right under his nose, how could he miss such a good opportunity to make a fortune?
"Yes, you're leaving, go and stop them!" Ye Junjun was in a mess, she originally wanted Chu Xiao and Zhao Hengzhi to cultivate for a few more days, but now that the little flame of love has just been ignited, Zhao Hengzhi actually wants to take the initiative to give up this relationship......
"Let's go." Chu Xiao said with righteousness.
"Shenma? Are you just willing to let him go? Ye Junjun was anxious to follow the ants on the hot pot.
Her CP is a fan, and she is about to be separated before she reaches the point of falling in love, and when she thinks of this, her heart is dripping with blood, and the pain is tight.
"No, I'm going to go with them." Chu Xiao said quietly. At this time, there was a faint light in his clear eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
When Ye Junjun heard this, he was overjoyed and gave a thumbs up, "Wonderful, it is worthy of the iceberg general attack that I Ye Junjun is optimistic about, that's right, it has to be like this, welcome the man straight up!" Never be afraid! If you don't have a chance, you have to create your own chance! ”
Ye Junjun called Chu Xiao crazily, and he almost didn't wave his flag and cheer him on.
Chu Xiao turned around silently and went into the house to pack his baggage. The reason why he was on the road was because he had just received an assignment from an employer early this morning.
His task was to go to the capital to inquire about General Lu Yao's stolen "Yan Lingshan Spring Light Map". The general's mansion is heavily guarded, and it is not an ordinary thief who can steal famous paintings, and the clues show that it is Bai Yi, a famous Jiangyang thief on the rivers and lakes.
Bai Yi had contact with three court officials during that period, and as for who Bai Yi sold the painting to, it would have to be investigated in-depth. Moreover, Bai Yi's martial arts are strong and come and go without a trace, Chu Xiao naturally can't send someone to arrest Bai Yi for questioning, even if Bai Yi is caught, Bai Yi abides by the morality of the rivers and lakes, and he will definitely not reveal the buyer.
Chu Xiao had no choice but to target the three court officials, one of whom was Zhao Hengzhi's father, Zhao Ming.
Just as Chu Xiao was packing his baggage, it happened that Zhao Hengzhi and Yao Yuran were about to come over and say goodbye to him.
"The master of the Chu Building......" As soon as Zhao Hengzhi spoke, Ye Junjun came out and suddenly interrupted him.
"Brother Hengzhi, don't say it, as soon as the Lord of Chu heard that you were leaving, he was also busy packing up his baggage and wanted to go on the road with you!" Ye Junjun's spirit was radiant, and she couldn't hide the excitement in her heart at all.
“???” Zhao Hengzhi's cheeks flushed, and two blush unconsciously appeared.
I didn't expect Chu Xiao to let go of Tingyulou's business for him, and he was moved by a loss in his heart. Looking at Chu Xiao's handsome and extraordinary face, he actually had a little heartbeat that accelerated, and the deer collided.
"Ahem, cough, I'm not for Zhao Gongzi, I'm for the "Spring Picture of Yan Lingshan" stolen by General Lu in the morning......" Chu Xiao told the truth of the matter.
Zhao Hengzhi was suddenly petrified, only blaming himself for being amorous, Chu Xiao was so handsome and extraordinary, and the people who pursued Chu Xiao were all lined up from the south of the city to the north of the city, where would they take a fancy to him.
"That's fine, Lord Chu can just go to the Hou Ye's Mansion with us and calculate the account of our recent food and accommodation in Tingyu Building." Yao Yuran said righteously.
She has always had a clear distinction between public and private, and she doesn't like to owe favors to others, and she has kindness and revenge.
Chu Xiao was touched by Yao Yuran's words, he poisoned them last time, and wanted to use their lives as hostages, now it seems that he is really a despicable and shameless villain.
Chu Xiao was embarrassed, took out three bottles of antidote from the room, and said to Yao Yuran: "Since Young Lady Zhao is so deeply aware of righteousness, then I, Chu, will definitely not treat you badly." Here's a magic potion for whitening and beauty, even if I give it to you for free! ”
Yao Yuran believed it and took the antidote in Chu Xiao's hand, and the three of them drank the antidote in one gulp, and immediately felt refreshed.
"Master Chu, after drinking your whitening and beauty potion, why do I feel light, as if a person is floating in the clouds, my head is no longer dizzy, and I still walk with ......the wind," Ye Junjun said in surprise, and she also turned her head easily.
"Huh...... Maybe it's your psychological effect, it's not a panacea. Chu Xiao wrote lightly.
Chu Xiao wouldn't tell her that she was just poisoned before, but now that the poison has been resolved, she is naturally strong and vigorous.
Although Ye Junjun didn't say anything, she was still very grateful to Chu Xiao, she believed that her vision would not be wrong, in her heart, Chu Xiao was a male god with both beauty and wisdom, full of love and justice, and only Zhao Hengzhi, who was talented and beautiful, could match it.
