Chapter 35: A Gift to the Door
After Yun Xiu walked into Jian Xiu's side, he sat down on the chair without saying a word, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was meditating.
Jian Xiu lowered his eyes and asked, "Something?" β
Yun Xiu frowned and looked at Jian Xiu, "That prince said that he came to Luodingzhou to arrest Yue Feng's party, who is Yue Feng?" β
The corners of Jian Xiu's mouth were slightly stunned, and he said sarcastically to Yun Xiu, "Let you walk around with me more, you will only hang the name of a hundred households in brocade clothes, how many things can you do?" β
Yun Xiu smiled lightly, "Brother is so capable, Yun Xiu can't compare with you." β
Jian Xiu said that this Yue Feng.
"Yue Feng was originally from Linchuan, traveled to Longchuan, and had a very good relationship with Longchuan Xuanfu Si Duo Shining, but Yue Feng's bad nature ruined Duo Shining's wife and let Duo Shi Ning find out. Yue Feng simply booby-trapped Duo Shining and his wife, won the gold medal seal, took refuge in the Burmese Xuanwei Division, pretended to accept his orders, and colluded with the Burmese soldiers to invade the southwest of Yunnan many times. β
After hearing this, Yun Xiu said in a light tone, "It seems that the Luoding Prefecture Yamen will also be idle." β
The weather was exceptionally sunny.
In the garden of Liufu Mansion, the people brought up a Nanmu chaise longue, Mo Changli stroked his sleeves, sat down slowly, took the ginseng soup handed by the entourage Tang Zhen with a faint smile, and took a sip slowly.
He was in a very good mood, and the sun was just coming out to bask in the sun.
Chunlin walked through the corridor, glanced at the Yunnan prince, disdainful Nunu mouth, and looked back to see Miss Liu walking over with some uneasiness and calmness.
This morning, Chunlin came together to serve the master to freshen up, only to find out that Miss Liu was not in the room, and even felt like she hadn't returned all night. She was silent, and she was busy searching the house.
Chunlin hurriedly walked in front of Miss Liu, "Miss, you go-"
Miss Liu glared at her, and Chunlin stopped, and secretly glanced at the Yunnan prince in the courtyard, for fear that those people would hear.
Miss Liu hurried to her room, and Chunlin followed.
"Remember!" The prince of Yunnan had already spotted her, dressed in a bright red dress, and waved vigorously at Miss Liu.
Miss Liu glanced at him with a disgusted expression, and wanted to go back to her room, but let Mo Changli, who had already stepped over, block the way.
"Come out with me." Mo Changli raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Miss Liu opened her mouth, she was about to refuse, but she didn't want Mo Changli to pull her wrist, and kept laughing, "The weather is good, it's boring to stay in the house, it's good to go out and play." β
Miss Liu smiled lightly and muttered, "The prince came to Luoding City to arrest people, if he doesn't go out to arrest people, how can people catch them, so wandering around, aren't you afraid that the court will blame them at that time?" β
Mo Changli tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said with an evil smile, "There is a dragon here, how can you not catch it, this world is leisurely." β
Miss Liu looked at him without changing her face.
Mo Changli smiled again, "No, this is also the first time in this world to Luodingzhou, and it should be okay to see the scenery." β
Jian Xiu and Yun Xiu, who came from the west wing, looked at it at the same time.
Jian Xiu's face was gloomy, and when he threw a look at Miss Liu and Mo Changli with his knife in his hand, Miss Liu also saw him.
"Another day, I don't want to go out today." After Miss Liu's gaze was drawn back from Jian Xiuna, she hurriedly returned to Yunnan Shizi, then ignored him and walked by herself.
Jian Xiu and Yun Xiu walked to the courtyard at the same time and bowed to Mo Changli.
Mo Changli asked Jian Xiu for plastic surgery, "I didn't ask the commander yesterday, what happened when you came from Kyoto to this Luoding Prefecture?" β
Jian Xiu frowned coldly, and his usual look made Mo Changli busy and said, "It's okay if the commander doesn't want to reveal it, Changli just asks casually." β
Jian Xiu replied to him solemnly, "Like the son of the world, come here to arrest people." β
"Oh." Mo Changli flashed his eyelashes.
Yun Xiu didn't say a word, and when Jian Xiu left to walk towards the gate of Liufu, they went with him.
After Chunlin followed Miss Liu into the house, she hesitated whether she should ask last night, but as Miss Liu's loyal maid, she still asked, "Where did Miss go last night?" β
Miss Liu just glanced at Chunlin expressionlessly, but did not answer her, turned her head to look at the closed door before saying slowly, "If you find that I am not in the room in the future, you don't have to look for it, understand?" β
Miss Liu's words surprised Chunlin, but she still didn't ask any more, just nodded stupidly.
"I want a soup bath." Miss Liu sat down softly, rubbed her forehead and said.
Chunlin immediately responded, "Okay, the slave will go and prepare." β
In the clean room tub bath, Miss Liu leaned on the tub, closed her eyes lightly, and let the heat smoke on her body.
She was terrified in her heart, and she couldn't remember how much Jian Xiu had seen last night.
She was afraid that the scene at the Xuzhou Laifu Inn would be seen by others again, which would make people afraid of her.
She was even more afraid that her half-human, half-demon appearance would be seen by others, and no matter who she was, she wouldn't be able to see her scene......
Miss Liu stretched out her hand from the water with a stiff expression, touched the butterfly mark on her neck again, and thought of the words of the old man: The ghost butterfly and you coexist, in the same body.
Chunlin walked in with the curtain open, and said by the barrel, "Miss, the prince is out of the house." β
Miss Liu felt a sense of relief that it was best that the person was not under her nose.

In the octagonal pavilion in the wilderness of the hillside, a man in a red costume sat on a small low stool, a low table was placed in front of him, and a guqin was placed on the several, the man's face was calmly plucked with the strings, and the sound of the piano floated over the grass outside the octagonal pavilion.
On the grassy ground, Deng Zilong threw a silver spear in full swing, and wherever the silver spear went, it cut through his clothes and showed blood.
Yue Feng's subordinates, eight big men surrounded Deng Zilong, and one person confronted eight people, which was the request made by these traitors.
Deng Zilong readily agreed, without hesitation.
In the octagonal pavilion, the men in red costumes were playing battle music for them as if they were watching a good show.
The attendant Tang Zhen stood beside Mo Changli, motionless, staring at the battlefield on the grass with his eyes.
At the side of the octagonal pavilion, the guards who came with Mo Changli stood in a row, solemn and calm, as if Deng Zilong on the battlefield was teaching them martial arts.
The music stopped, and the weapons were collected on the battlefield.
Deng Zilong stood in the center with a silver spear in his hand, and the eight people fell to the ground one after another, falling into the mud. The head of the silver spear was stained with bright red blood.
Mo Changli stood up from the low stool, walked out of the pavilion, looked at Deng Zilong with a calm smile, and clapped his hands in praise, "It is worthy of the people of our Qianguo Mansion, and we have taken down all these people in one day in Luodingzhou, so good!" β
Under the tree not far from the Octagonal Pavilion, Jian Xiu and Yun Xiu both rode on horseback, silently watching this good scene.
Jian Xiu's face was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "The Qianguo Mansion really can't be underestimated. β
Yun Xiu smiled, "This Yunnan prince can't be underestimated. β
Seeing that the show had ended, Jian Xiu turned the horse's head and urged the horse to leave, and Yun Xiu followed.
At the octagonal pavilion, Mo Changli then turned his head sideways to look at the back of Jian Xiu Yunxiu leaving, and smiled warmly.
Walking to a section of the mountain road, Jian Xiu suddenly stopped his horse, his brows were tightened, Yun Xiu pulled up a stiff and puzzled look at him, "What's wrong?" β
"That's the only number of people Mo Changli wants to arrest?" Jian Xiu said solemnly.
It can't be so simple and easy, those thieves actually chose to steal to Luoding Prefecture, and they would not show up and be caught so easily.
"What the fourth brother means is that these people are just gifts from thieves to the prince of Yunnan, so that he feels that he won't delve into it anymore." Yun Xiu thought about it and said busily.
Jian Xiu raised his head, glanced at the sky in the west, frowned, and said with a sneer, "Yue Feng must need something in Luoding Prefecture, this Yunnan prince may just be his move." β
Yun Xiu's eyes blinked, puzzled, "What else does Yue Feng want to do?" β
Jian Xiu looked down, "This still needs to be investigated deeply, to see what Yue Feng's intentions are for letting people come to Luodingzhou." β
Yun Xiu suddenly woke up, "Fourth brother didn't come to Luoding City this time just to catch a few White Lotus Sects, could it be that he was ordered by the emperor to secretly investigate Yue Feng's secrets?" β
Jian Xiu chuckled lightly and muttered, "You seem to have a brain too, which makes you see it." β
"Fourth brotherβ" Yun Xiu glared at him, "when did I run out of brains." β
Jian Xiu pursed his lips and smiled, urging the horse to continue the return journey.

Liufu House.
Miss Liu stood in the courtyard and watched the maids in the famous mansion in Luoding City come in front and back, saying that they were giving gifts to the prince of Yunnan.
Chunlin and Wu Bo were all on the side, looking at the things that the maids had sent in.
Asu Amin was received there.
A green-clothed maid reported, "My young lady is the eldest lady of rice merchant Liu Dacheng, and today I asked the slave maid to send some barley to the prince of Yunnan to nourish his body." β
Behind the maid, the rice merchant's servant carried a bag and placed it on the ground.
Immediately after that, another group of people came in at the gate of the house.
A maid in a yellow shirt asked people to move in several potted flowers, and the maid said to Ah Su, "My young lady is the eldest lady of the Qiyuan Flower Garden, and the young lady asked the slave maid to send some flowers to the prince for the prince to enjoy." β
Chunlin laughed softly, "This Yunnan prince has only been here in Luoding City for one day, and he has attracted bees and butterflies. Saying that, she looked at Uncle Wu, "Uncle Wu, how did you let these people come up to our mansion casually." β
Wu Bo glanced at Miss Liu, who was silent, and then said, "It's hard to refuse, but I'm here for the prince." β
Miss Liu sneered and said, "Send it to them, take whatever you want, it's good that our house can be used for free." β
After speaking, she didn't want to look any more, so she turned around and walked to her courtyard.
Chunlin smiled, "It's good, we don't need to spend money on it." β
She smiled and walked up to those maids, thanking her generally, "Your young lady is so polite, don't worry, when the prince comes back, I will report Chunlin one by one, and by the way, I will give your young lady a few kind words, is this feasible?" β
Those maids are so grateful to Chunlin.
