Chapter 122: Half-truths
The winter solstice has arrived, the prosperous Chang'an City will not be a little less lively because of the cooling, the Bangxia Pavilion located in the downtown area is a little out of place with the surrounding buildings, except for a few subordinates and the turtle in charge of the cleaning and cleaning, the rest of the people are still asleep.
"Goo~"
Sheng Linyun opened the window to introduce the first cold wind of the morning, and Xiao Wenjin on the side poked her head out of the window and looked out of the window, maybe she hadn't seen the outside world for too long, and her dark eyes were full of curiosity.
"Linyun!" Xu Shangao's voice came from downstairs, and I saw him running in the direction of Bangxia Pavilion from afar, holding a few wheat cakes in his hand and waving his hands.
Sheng Linyun walked to the verandah, beckoned to Xu Shan downstairs, and went upstairs and said.
"Hey, hey~ This son hasn't opened the door yet! The girls are sleeping at this time," Xu Shangao wanted to go upstairs, but was stopped by a man dressed as a turtle.
"I'm not looking for girls! Let Jean~" Xu Shangao quickly bypassed the obstruction of the turtle and went upstairs.
"Go to the Qinglou in broad daylight to find the gentlemen?" The turtle man scratched his head and looked dazed.
"Na~ The wheat cakes you brought to the two of you, even the monk is too vegetarian to eat!" As soon as Xu Shangao entered the door, he distributed the cake to Sheng Linyun and Xiao Wenjin.
Xiao Wenjin timidly took it and saluted Xu Shangao slightly.
Seeing that Xiao Wenjin was not afraid of herself, Xu Shangao's guilt in her heart was reduced a lot, and he reached out and touched her head.
"Why did you come so early?" Sheng Linyun asked.
"My brother is gone again, don't care about him, I want to discuss with you about going to the Shuiqing Mountain Range to investigate." Xu Shangao shook his head helplessly.
"This Xu Liangfeng..."Sheng Linyun thought of Xu Jiangyuan and said, Xu Liangfeng is not suitable to bother now.
Xu Shangao hurriedly took Sheng Linyun's words, "I have inquired about Xu Liangfeng, known as the black-faced Yama, but not because he is iron-faced and selfless, but because he is not close to people, and he does everything according to his own temperament." ”
"Then we might as well not go to him first, I have two friends with special skills, and when the time comes, I will take them to investigate first, and then think about it in the long run!" Sheng Linyun pushed the boat down the water and proposed a plan not to go to Xu Liangfeng for the time being.
But who knew that Xu Shangao showed a smug smile at the corner of his mouth, and slowly raised his palm, "You forgot?" I have this ring, since I am an iron-faced and ruthless person, then I have a better chance of finding him to expose the shady scenes of Prince Lu's mine! ”
"But..."
"Don't do it, you hurry up and finish the cake, let's take your two friends to Bahemen to find Xu Liangfeng, it's a big deal to have a closed meal!" Xu Shangao said as he poured tea for Sheng Linyun: "Come!" Don't choke! ”
"Mmmm~" Sheng Linyun stuffed the cake in his mouth, and saw that Xu Shangao's mood was a little different from the previous style, so he didn't want to say anything.
"Brother Yun~ I'm here!" Wei Douding's voice came from outside the house.
"Peewe, come in!" Sheng Linyun hurriedly got up and opened the door.
"Brother Yun~ You said last night that I should come over in the morning, what do you want me to do?" Wei Douding rubbed his eyes and looked like he couldn't wake up.
"You help me protect her!" Sheng Linyun has always been Xiaowenjin, and Wei Douding was a little stunned.
"How? Don't be in a daze? Sheng Linyun pinched Wei Douding's cheek.
"Hmm~Good~"
"Come here!" Sheng Linyun pushed Wei Douding's back and walked stiffly to Xiao Wenjin's side, "Douding!" You remember! Except for the two sisters Chunxia and Hongxia in the Bangxia Pavilion, no one can see her! ”
"Aunt Mei Niang~" Wei Douding asked.
"Poof~" Xu Shangao, who was drinking water, couldn't help choking on water, "You'd better call her sister too!" ”
"It's okay for her to say, but not with Xiao Wenjin, can you do it?" Sheng Linyun looked directly at Wei Douding with a pair of eyes full of deep meaning.
Wei Douding suddenly felt a burst of blood, and quickly straightened his body, "Brother Yun!" I can! ”
"Good!" Sheng Linyun put his hands on Wei Douding's shoulders, "Her name is Wenjin, but she can't speak or hear, do you know what to do?" ”
"Hmm..."Wei Douding looked at Xiao Wenjin and was a little speechless, "I... I'll let him~"
Sheng Linyun nodded and took Xiao Wenjin's hand and put it on Wei Douding's hand, Xiao Wenjin was okay, after last night's contact, she was no longer afraid of Wei Douding, but looked at him with some good feelings.
On the other hand, Wei Douding's face was flushed, his eyes were wandering, and the fingers of his other hand were spinning on his trouser leg, and he was probably sweating a lot.
Sheng Linyun then wrote a few lines on the paper: 'I'll go out to do things, you follow Wei Douding, don't run around.' ’
Xiao Wenjin nodded obediently after seeing it, stunned by Xu Shangao on the side.
"It turns out that her name is Wenjin, since she is literate, then we can ask some about her..."Xu Shangao suddenly saw Xiao Wenjin's innocent eyes when he was talking, suddenly stopped his thoughts, and decided not to continue, "Linyun! Let's check it ourselves and let her be quiet~"
Sheng Linyun nodded approvingly, "Actually, she doesn't know much literacy, and I only found out last night!" ”
"Alright, let's go, what about your two friends?"
Sheng Linyun scratched his head in embarrassment, and clapped his hands according to Xu Jiangyuan's predetermined way of appearance, and a man with a mask and an armor in his hand and Lukaka with a backpack walked in from outside the door.
"Huh?" Xu Shangao's gaze quickly locked on the masked man's body, and thoughtfully walked up to the masked man, "The seniors are a little familiar?" ”
Xu Jiangyuan, who was behind the mask, had a numb scalp, and hurriedly waved his hand and shouted nervously, "Aba!" Aba! Aba! ”
Sheng Linyun immediately stepped forward and introduced, "Mr. Xu, he suffers from throat disease and can't speak, do you have such a friend?" ”
"That's not it~" Xu Shangao still felt familiar, but as the least respect, he hurriedly waved at the two, and the masked man and Lukaka hurriedly returned the salute.
"That's good! Let's go to Bahemen first! Xu Shangao looked at Sheng Linyun.
"Listen to Mr. Xu!" The corners of Sheng Linyun's mouth curled, "Anyway, it's all surnamed Xu~'
