Chapter Seventy-Four: The Southern Xinjiang Holy Scorpion Envoy
Yesterday he clearly saw a figure, and there was a spilled meal on the ground, but as soon as he chased the person out, he disappeared, although he also felt strange, but he couldn't go back for a long time, so he gave up the search plan.
"What's on this earth?" Liu Cheng looked at the food that he had overturned last night and was still scattered on the ground, although he knew it in his heart, he still questioned everyone.
"Steward Liu, wasn't this a thief last night?" Listening to Steward Liu's words, the cook in the house immediately spoke up.
"Clean this up for me, I'll go look at the storeroom, and the others will go back to work." As soon as Steward Liu heard that the cook said that it was a thief, he followed the conversation, opened the lock of the small door, and went to the storehouse under the pretext.
Steward Liu began to be ordinary next to the storeroom and dining room on the grounds of looking for thieves, and he searched the entire warehouse and found no trace of the person peeking at that person yesterday, but at this time there was something in the backyard of the dining room that attracted him.
He stepped forward to pick it up and found that it was a white embroidered handkerchief, which was also embroidered with patterns, but it was not an ordinary single-sided embroidery, but a double-sided embroidery, and a grim smile appeared on his face when he saw this, and secretly said No wonder I didn't find you last night, it turned out that I hid here.
Then he quietly put the embroidered handkerchief into his arms, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Yunshen Villa.
Two figures, one black and one white, are sitting in the room playing against each other, and the charcoal fire in the room is very hot, even in this winter, they can't feel a trace of cold.
"It's time to close the net." Pei Yu said coldly.
At this time, the sunspot was like a bamboo, surrounding the white son, forcing the white son to have no power to fight back, and finally lost the whole game.
In the past few days, Song Xiuping has sent out some military news in accordance with Nangong Chengyu's plan, and the number of spies this time is too large, almost every corner of Jiangning City, and the next thing is to wait.
See which spy will be unable to hold back and strike first, and then catch him red-handed.
Xie Qingyu came out again today, but she planned to come out today to buy some New Year's goods, although Xie Fu will purchase New Year's goods in a unified manner, but there are very few of them in the hands of their mothers every year, and there is no movement this year.
has already walked around the street twice, Xie Qingyu has already bought a lot of things, but it is still not enough, she can only stuff these through the dog hole first, and then go to buy.
After a day of running around, I was a little tired, so I randomly found a restaurant and wanted to eat some food, I mostly ate ingots and Qianqiu at home, and I haven't tasted the food in the restaurant, just to try.
Smelling the aroma of rice emanating from Tianxiang Pavilion from a distance, Xie Qingyu walked towards Tianxiang Pavilion unconsciously, and took a closer look, the appearance of Tianxiang Pavilion is extremely elegant, not as luxurious as other restaurants, and there are a lot of bonsai decorations inside.
Xie Qingyu was still wearing the quite expensive juvenile clothes he bought that day, and today he even put his hair up high, although he wore an extra cotton coat inside, but because the whole person was very thin, even if he wore more, he didn't see it, and he was still very free and easy.
The little second in the restaurant saw that Xie Qingyu was dressed extraordinarily and his face was very delicate, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Yo guest officer is here, I want to eat something."
"What's your signature dish?" Xie Qingyu didn't know what to eat, so he asked casually.
"Childe, there are too many signature dishes in our store, there are eight treasures of wild duck, cuttlefish soup, Tianxiang abalone, ......" The shopkeeper listened to Xie Qingyu's words, and immediately began to report the name of the dish.
Xie Qingyu listened to the shopkeeper and a series of muttering, and couldn't help but hold her forehead, she didn't remember any of them.
"Alright, let's talk about the first three dishes." Xie Qingyu thought about the name of the dish that could be read first, and it must not be bad.
"Come on, guest officer, sit down first." The shopkeeper said that Xie Qingyu greeted the second floor, and the original first floor was already full, and there were no vacant seats.
There are still some vacant seats on the second floor at the moment, Xie Qingyu sat by the window at random, and he could see the beautiful scenery of Jianhu Lake from a distance.
I didn't think that I really wanted to celebrate the New Year in ancient times, I didn't feel anything a few days ago, but today when I came to buy New Year's goods, I realized that I was really living in ancient times, this dynasty called Dayan.
After a while, Xiao Er brought out the dishes and put them on the table one by one.
These three dishes are all meat dishes, Xie Qingyu has been busy all morning, and he has nothing in his stomach at the moment, and he is very hungry.
I saw that the red and green dishes were very well matched, the duck meat looked very tender, and there were countless fillings inside, which was enough to have an endless aftertaste when you took a bite.
Cuttlefish soup soup, the meat is fat, the smell is fresh and fragrant, gently scoop a bite with a spoon, the meat aroma and umami coexist, and the drink is extraordinarily delicious.
Look at the last dish of Tianxiang abalone, there is a unique secret abalone of Tianxiang Pavilion, specially transported from the East China Sea, with the cold ice secret preservation to improve freshness, it is sprinkled with sugar, with condiments, the meat is tender and smooth but not greasy, the taste is excellent.
Xie Qingyu immediately began to eat, worthy of Tianxianglou, and his craftsmanship was really extraordinary.
Just right now!
Suddenly there was the neighing of war horses from the side of the road, followed by the sound of neat footsteps, as if mixed with the sound of iron tools.
Xie Qingyu also frowned when he heard the voice at this moment, I don't know who came here, there is such a big style.
A group of soldiers in armor and helmets suddenly entered the Tianxiang Building, all holding spears in their hands, with no expressions on their faces, circling the gate of the Tianxiang Building and making two rows.
I saw a man wearing an ink-colored jacquard silk jacket in the middle of this, with a blue spider pattern jade belt tied around his waist, long black hair, and a pair of deep eyes like an ancient pool, as if he was about to fall into it after a second glance, but this person was cold and cold, although people had the intention of getting close, but they didn't dare to make a move to get closer.
"The prince of Wu'an is here, and you won't kneel down to say hello." At this time, one of them was the first to speak.
Only then did everyone know that this person was originally the prince of Wu'an, the famous Nangong Chengyu in the entire Yan Kingdom, the first powerful person in Dayan, and it is said that his power is a few points higher than that of some princes.
"The grass people see His Royal Highness the Prince."
……
Everyone knelt down at this time, the son of Wu'an was the head of the nobles of the family, and his father was the first Marquis of Wu'an, in charge of the entire army in northern Xinjiang, Nangong Chengyu was adhering to his father's will, joined the army at the age of nine, and was able to lead the troops to fight at the age of twelve.
The people upstairs were also lying at the staircase and looking down, Xie Qingyu was very annoyed, she just wanted to have a meal, but now she got into trouble again, and she didn't know what the son was doing here.
It's just that at this time, there is a person on the first floor of Tianxiang Pavilion who has never knelt down, just sitting, still eating leisurely with vegetables, as if he is ignoring Nangong Chengyu.
Nangong Chengyu was not annoyed, but slowly walked to the person and sat down.
"The Southern Xinjiang Holy Scorpion Envoy is coming, and this son is really disappointed." After Nangong Chengyu poured himself a cup of tea, he drank it directly.
At this time, everyone understood why the prince was coming over today, and they immediately discussed it below.
"What? Southern Xinjiang Holy Scorpion Envoy? ”
"It turns out that this person is actually a spy in southern Xinjiang."
"Shizi, kill him!"
"Just kill him."
……
Nangong Chengyu waved his hand lightly at the right adjutant who had just introduced him.
At this time, the right adjutant instantly understood the meaning, led a few soldiers, and instantly drove everyone who was still in the Tianxiang Pavilion out at the moment.
Xie Qingyu also came down from the second floor along the flow of people, and unconsciously glanced at the position where Nangong Chengyu was sitting, wanting to confirm his guess.
Although she had doubts in Song Mansion that day, it was just her guess.
Sure enough!
The person sitting on that side is Pei Yu, no, now his name is Nangong Chengyu, and he is the famous son of Wu'an Hou.
Just when Xie Qingyu was still surprised, the person sitting next to Nangong Chengyu flashed and appeared behind Xie Qingyu in an instant.
Xie Qingyu was also stunned when he saw that the person who came was also a figure as fast as lightning, this person was actually Liu Cheng, the housekeeper of Xie Mansion! It seems that his guess that day was really good, and the man in black that night was really him.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Cheng threw a few darts directly from his sleeve and shot them at several soldiers standing near Xie Qingyu.
Darts shoot out like a hurricane!
Several of the soldiers fell to the ground after being hit by the dart, blood streaming from their necks.
The other soldiers stationed next to him saw that the gangster was so ruthless, and when they arrived, a group of people went up directly with spears and wanted to restrain the holy scorpion envoy Liu Cheng.
didn't expect Liu Cheng to directly pinch Xie Qingyu's life, and looked at everyone with a fierce face and said.
"If you go one step further, I'll kill this man at once!"
The strength of such a subordinate is even heavier, and it is difficult to breathe when Xie Qingyu is pinched.
I secretly thanked you in my heart and said that it was really you, and he said how could so many soldiers suddenly come today.
It seems that the person who peeked at that night was actually her, but I didn't expect it to be the prince of Wu'an, hum, that is the case, I can't leave today, then don't you want to live Xie Qingyu!
Everyone didn't dare to move forward after listening to Liu Cheng's words at this moment, the soldiers who died just now could be said to have sacrificed their lives for the country, but now it was the common people who were being controlled, and everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Nangong Chengyu.
Nangong Chengyu saw Xie Qingyu who was restrained at this moment, his narrow eyes were also slightly narrowed, and there were wisps of cold air all over his body, which made people feel a little frightened.
"This son of the world really saw the Southern Xinjiang Holy Scorpion Envoy today." Nangong Chengyu looked at Liu Cheng coldly, his eyes exuding a murderous aura.
When Liu Cheng heard this, he laughed out loud, looking at Nangong Chengyu's eyes full of ridicule, and did not say a word.
pinched Xie Qingyu's neck, and directly asked her to retreat, and fell back to the second floor step by step.
Because everyone didn't get Nangong Chengyu's order, they didn't dare to act rashly for a while.
"Take the rest out and see if those few are saved." Nangong Chengyu commanded the soldiers below, and flew up directly, directly on the second floor.
After Nangong Chengyu came up, he didn't rush to save Xie Qingyu, but found a wooden stool at random and sat down, and poured a cup of tea casually, looking at Liu Cheng and Xie Qingyu as if watching a play.
