Chapter Forty-Seven: The Man in Red
"They're not stupid, it's just that they can't see you because I'm here, and I'm careful to erase your blood and footprints on the snow."
The voice behind Jiao Yuzhen startled, and when she turned around, she saw a young man in red hiding behind her with a smile!
"Ah......h
Before the voice came out of his mouth, he was covered by the other party's hand: "Shhh, don't shout so loudly, it will be heard so loudly." I'm sorry to scare you, but I didn't think you would. ”
After the other party's hand was slowly released, Jiao Yuzhen exclaimed in a low voice: "You...... You are the corpse in the amber! ”
"I'm not a corpse, the amber is fake, and what is shown inside is nothing but an apparition of me." The boy smiled and spoke, "Little girl, you are also very bold and have very powerful eyes, and you can actually see my phantom in amber clearly. But I was careless, I just blinked my eyes and peeked outside, and you found out. But little girl, you have done me a bad thing. It's a triennial auction, and it took me three years to get in, and you bought it without even touching the corner of the jade Buddha. Little girl, what are you buying me for? I always thought that the person who could buy the Jade Buddha would definitely buy me too. ”
"Jade Buddha? Are you trying to get the people of Crescent Court to buy you away? Since you can make amber and can mix it in, why don't you just steal the Jade Buddha? Jiao Yuzhen quickly grasped the key point of the incident, and now she was involved in an inexplicable matter, if she didn't figure it out, even if she was killed like this, she would definitely not be blind.
"I saw that you also bid for the Jade Buddha, and I thought you knew what it was." The young man sat on the ground beside Jiao Yuzhen, his red clothes stretched out on the snow, like a winding river of blood, "That is the antiquity of the previous dynasty, which has always been enshrined in the imperial temple, although it seems to be just a precious jade, but in fact, the royal family of the jade dynasty is involved, and I am also here for the legend of the previous dynasty, but I don't want to reveal my identity, so I have been paving for so long...... What about you? What do you know, little girl? ”
"I just knew it was an antique, and it looked beautiful, but it was too expensive, so I let the Crescent Pavilion take it." Jiao Yuzhen's words are true, but it's a pity that there is no convincing thing to say them.
The young man didn't delve into it, but just continued to maintain the smile on his face: "The little girl and the person from the treasure house are sitting together, is it from the Xin family?" ”
"I just have a little friendship with Boss Xin, and I just came to see the excitement......"
"A little friendship?" The smile on the young man's lips became thicker, "Although the boss of Jubao Xin has made friends all over the world and has always been very popular, not anyone can let him pay 21,000 taels of silver to achieve the other party's willfulness. Little girl, if you just have a little friendship with Boss Xin of Jubao, then he must like you very much. ”
Jiao Yuzhen was slightly stunned, remembering Xin Pengyi's marriage proposal when she first met, so she turned her face away in embarrassment: "You came all the way from the Western Regions, and didn't you spend three years looking for and inquiring about the Jade Buddha?" Why bother with all my gossip? Since you're looking for the Jade Buddha, wouldn't it be better for you to get close to that Han Yue Gongzi? ”
A fine light flashed under the young man's eyes: "The little girl is so smart, she actually knows that I am from the Western Regions." ”
"Your facial features don't look like Qingguo people, it's not hard to guess. And Eminem at the auction also said that the amber is from the Western Regions, so you must also be from the Western Regions. Jiao Yuzhen once again pulled the topic back to the young man, "This son, since you can see that I am a woman, should you also introduce yourself?" ”
"My name is Qingyu." The boy smiled and spoke.
"My name is Qingbao, our names are really similar!"
"Then I'll follow you from now on." Qingyu stretched out her hand and gently tapped Jiao Yuzhen's bun, and Jiao Yuzhen's three thousand green silks were scattered, "They are looking for an injured teenager, you have recovered your body as a woman, they will naturally not trouble you." ”
Jiao Yuzhen leaned aside with some caution, after all, she was still a girl, and it was not good to be too close to the opposite sex after all: "I also want to change my clothes, but I don't have any other clothes." ”
"I'll swap with you." Qingyu took off her red robe without hesitation and handed it to Jiao Yuzhen, "Bao'er, from now on you will be my sister." ”
Jiao Yuzhen wanted to refute very much, but she thought that her body was not yet fifteen years old, and this brother was not a loss for her, so as soon as her apricot eyes rolled, she took Qingyu's robe, and then showed an evil smile: "My sister is not easy to support, you see, Boss Xin and I have a little friendship and it cost 21,000 taels." So how much are you going to spend on me, Brother Yu? ”
******
Jiao Yuzhen, who was dressed in red, wore long hair, braving the snow and walking on a street that looked very unfamiliar, behind him was Qingyu dressed as a guard, Qingyu had a beautiful face, and she was not very old, she looked a little feminine and feminine, compared to Jiao Yuzhen, who had always had some wheat-colored skin, he was more like a woman dressed as a man when he wore men's clothes.
"Are you sure this is the way to Jiao Taifu's Mansion? It's almost dawn, why hasn't it arrived yet? Although Jiao Yuzhen is used to doing rough work, and she often exercised in her previous life, it doesn't mean that she doesn't feel tired after walking all night, even if she ...... There was a long way for Qingyu to fly over with light skills with her arms around her.
During this time, the sky has been snowing, and the clothes on her body are also very thin, even if she has changed clothes with Qingyu, she has already been wet with snow, and at this moment she is already cold, hungry, tired and sleepy.
"This is already the capital, but the east of the city is the area of the nobility, and the city gate is closed on time, and there are many guards. It's just a bit farther from here. And ......"
"And?" Jiao Yuzhen stopped and looked at Qingyu behind him, "And what?" ”
"Don't you live in the capital? Unfamiliar with this place? Wouldn't you, as a subordinate of Taifu Jiao's mansion, go out? Qingyu was also a little strange, but she didn't delve into it, "Although the capital is big, in fact, you can go to Taifu Jiao's Mansion no matter how you go, so you don't need to worry." This is the west side of the city, and if you walk a little further, you will reach the end street. I haven't been here for a while, so now I want to go to the Bongan Private School on Oi Street. It was a stronghold of the Crescent Pavilion, but few people in the rivers and lakes knew about it, and I only learned about it by chance more than three years ago. Maybe where can I find out where the jade Buddha in the hand of Han Yue Gongzi is going to be sold...... After all, they are an intelligence organization, and they probably don't want to collect these things. If my price is fair, I might be able to buy it back. If you can't buy it back, you can find a way to get it back. ”
Jiao Yuzhen hurriedly stopped: "Are you saying that Feng'an Private School is a stronghold of the Crescent Pavilion?!" ”
"What's wrong? Do you know that Bong Ancha? But you don't have to worry, it's just a private base, and it's indeed a private school on the surface, by the way, the gentleman there is ......"
"Mohan." Jiao Yuzhen's face suddenly sank, and many thoughts were churning in his mind, "That blind master has passed away. I've already bought it for me...... It was no longer the stronghold of the Crescent Pavilion. ”
Qingbao shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hand and gently helped Jiao Yuzhen's head: "Sister, you are really a scourge." But it's good to be red-faced, you've been in contact with Han Yuegongzi, if you don't mind, I'll inquire about his whereabouts, and then I'll let you confuse him, what do you think? ”
"Let's compare, do you think you are better suited to seduce him, or am I better suited to tempt him?"
Seeing Jiao Yuzhen raise his little face in front of him, that little face without grease powder really doesn't look as pink and delicate as Qingyu himself, if it really doesn't compare his appearance regardless of gender, Qingyu really doesn't dare to say how beautiful Jiao Yuzhen is, compared to himself, he can really only say that he is still beautiful, not as beautiful as himself at all!
"Okay, since you can't go to Feng'an, you can just go over there." Qingyu pointed to the alley next to her, "Go over there and keep walking into the east of the city, and if you turn right, you can see Jiao Taifu's mansion." ”
"Then you ......" Jiao Yuzhen said as he turned back to look at the alley, "Do you want to ...... with me?"
Jiao Yuzhen didn't speak, she felt that the breath beside her disappeared, and when she turned around, she found that Qingyu beside her had disappeared, and there were no footprints even on the snow on the ground.
"Miss Jiao San?" Du Chenghuan's voice came from the room on the side, and then he opened the door and walked out, still holding an umbrella in his hand, and quickly came over and put the umbrella on Jiao Yuzhen's head, "Why are you here alone at this time?" It snowed all night last night, you see...... You're soaking wet. ”
"Du Gongzi, why are you here?" Jiao Yuzhen hurriedly squeezed out a smile, but that smile was a little unnatural, she hadn't forgotten that Du Chenghuan was the only old person left in Feng An's house, who knew what connection he had with that Crescent Pavilion?
"It's very close to the Treasure Bowl, and the house where I live is here. Miss Jiao San, do you want to come in and take a break? Miss Jin'er and Mr. Gongsun live in two rooms next to each other, so I'll go and let them come. How about letting Miss Jin'er wait for you to change your clothes? As Du Chenghuan spoke, he turned sideways to get out of the way into the house.
Jiao Yuzhen hesitated for a moment, thinking that he could meet Jin Er, so he nodded and followed Du Chenghuan into the room.
The west of the city is a place where ordinary people live, the houses here naturally do not have a high gate compound, this long street is lined with the same style of houses on both sides, and the house is also very simple, but a bamboo bookshelf at the corner is placed on the book, which adds a bit of book fragrance to this ordinary house.
"Miss Jiao San, please be seated." Du Chenghuan asked Jiao Yuzhen to sit at the round table and poured a cup of tea, "I'll call Jin Er over and ask Miss Jiao San to wait for a while." ”
"Du Gongzi." Jiao Yu Zhen Xing's eyes turned, and he stopped Du Chenghuan, "Mr. Mo Han and I are also old friends, I didn't have a stick of incense after he died, I don't know where his cemetery is, I want to go and pay respects." ”
Du Chenghuan was slightly stunned, and then continued to maintain the smile on his face: "Mr. Hanmo's ancestral home is not here, after he died, his distant nephew has sent his ashes back to his hometown, so his grave is not in the capital." However, there is his spiritual position in the back hall of the private school, and if the young lady wants to go, she can let Jin Er accompany you for a while. ”
