Jiang Cailing took off the hairpin she was wearing on her head, this hairpin was the one she wore when she teased Liu Minglou that day, she was afraid that Liu Minglou would find out. After seeing that the woman in the apricot yellow Luo skirt in the bronze mirror did not resemble herself in the old Tang costume, Jiang Cailing put on a rabbit fur cloak and went to the main hall.

Walking to the main hall, Liu Minglou was still wearing the golden clothes, the pattern of the white crane spreading its wings was outlined with gold threads, and the golden forehead of the Pisces playing with beads was tied to the back of the head with the swaying of walking, seeing Jiang Cailing appear, Liu Minglou's grape-like eyes flashed a familiar look, "It's you?" ”

"You know me?" Jiang Cailing frowned, at this time, she and Liu Minglou knew each other, but now there is no place in the same, could it be that Liu Minglou has the ability to see bones and recognize people?

"Aren't you the one who bought calligraphy and paintings last time in that Laoshizi Taozhen Residence!"

Hearing this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Jiang Cailing also showed a surprised expression on her face, "It turns out that you are the one who wronged me for colluding with the store!" ”

Liu Minglou's face was red, but he had been in business for many years, and he had already practiced the ability to talk to people and talk nonsense, with three points of kindness on his face, "This Luoyang is really small!" Last time, it was Liu who abruptly attacked the girl, and I hope that the girl Haihan! ”

"Wherever Liu Gongzi said, since it is all a misunderstanding, who can take it to heart!" Jiang Cailing had a smile on her face, and after ordering someone to watch the tea on the seat, she asked, "I don't know what Liu Gongzi is doing today?" ”

"I heard that the girl was unjustly killed Princess Nanzhao, if you can't find the real culprit in three days, she will be executed by Ling Chi, obviously there is someone behind this matter who controls the overall situation, and the wolf's ambition is obvious, and this matter is very important, so I want to help Miss He with my own strength."

Jiang Cailing didn't expect Liu Minglou to be this purpose, her apricot eyes narrowed slightly, and she secretly thought about what benefits Liu Minglou could do by doing this.

Liu Minglou seemed to know what Jiang Cailing was thinking, his grape-like eyes flashed, and he seemed to recall something bad, and slowly said, "I am a businessman, and I am in business, once Nanzhao starts a war with my Great Zhou, not to mention that my rare residence is not patronized, just say that my life Liu Minglou may not be able to survive in the world." I love money and life, and nothing in the world is more important than these two. ”

Jiang Cailing once sent someone to check Liu Minglou, and learned that his parents died early and lived on the streets, because he had a face as beautiful as a girl, he was bullied since he was a child, and there were always some people who did something to him when he got older. Later, because he killed someone, he fled to Minglou County around Luoyang, and later met a businessman surnamed Liu, the businessman had no queen, and saw that Liu Minglou was clever and sensible, and had a talent for business, so he stayed by his side as a son, and helped him name Minglou.

Later, the businessmen settled in Luoyang, and no one knew that Liu Minglou was not the son of the Liu family at all

Liu Minglou didn't find out why he killed someone, but with her understanding of Liu Minglou, he wouldn't have had the courage to kill if he hadn't encountered something that endangered his name.

Looking at the similar eyebrows of Liu Minglou and the little prince, if it weren't for Liu Minglou's first meeting and ordering someone to knock herself out, she would definitely pay back all the debts to the little prince.

The two sorted out their thoughts from the beginning, and after Liu Minglou learned that "White Lotus" was slandering, he couldn't help but say: "It seems that someone has changed into the appearance of White Lotus." ”

"Disguise?" She had heard a little about disguise before, but the process of disguise was complicated and lost for a long time, and she didn't expect that anyone would use it.

"If Bai He doesn't have twin sisters, then he can't explain this matter except for the disguise, but the skilled disguiser is also the exact size of the person who needs to be disguised, and he should always be familiar with the white lotus. I learned about this when I was buying goods in southern Xinjiang before, and I heard someone mention it by chance, but I didn't expect to meet someone who used the disguise technique so soon. ”

"It's true that I didn't expect this matter of disfigurement, I will investigate this matter, thank you Liu Gongzi."

Liu Minglou raised a smile, "Miss He doesn't have to say thank you, this is also for her own consideration, if the result of this matter has nothing to do with me, even if it is a floating corpse, I will choose to stand by and watch, maybe I will open a coffin shop on the spot." ”

Liu Minglou's golden figure disappeared behind the shadow wall, and Jiang Cailing sat back on the red chair, a hint of complexity flashed in her apricot eyes. After thousands of years of cultivation and refinement, the art of disguise has reached a state where the closest people cannot see the flaws, so it was recognized as an evil art by the previous dynasty. Now that it is back in the rivers and lakes, it is bound to bring a bloody storm.

In the past two years, she has eliminated people who have a disobedient heart inside, and guarded against every move of the two powerful countries of the Western Regions and Nanzhao outside, but she didn't find that there was a force in the secret that wanted to split the Great Zhou, which made her start to think, even if she lived to the three years agreed with Emperor Zhaohong, could she give Guo Yao a peaceful and prosperous world?

"Girl, it's time for dinner!"

Bai He's voice interrupted Jiang Cailing's thoughts, and raised her eyes, at this time, the moon was already hanging on the treetops.

Jiang Cailing shook her head, she had no appetite at this time, and when she got up and walked to the door, she saw that Bai He's complexion was much better, so she turned her head sideways and asked, "Are you feeling better?" ”

Bai He bent his eyes and smiled, "Probably because I saw the Son of Heaven, I was dyed with dragon energy, and after walking around the thatched house a few times, I am now very good." It's the white lotus that has affected the girl, what if the truth can't be found out after three days? ”

"It's clear that I'm the one who is involved, by the way, Gu Xiangke woke up?"

"Master Gu has woken up, the girl's pill stopped bleeding, I heard the imperial doctor say that if there is no pill, Gu Xiang is afraid that his life will be in danger."

Jiang Cailing nodded, she gave Gu Jiming the Soul Rejuvenation Pill, and she expected that Gu Jiming would definitely be able to turn the corner, but there was still a faint uneasiness in her heart. Now that I heard Bai He's words, I was completely relieved.

What Gu Jiming did today is indeed beyond Jiang Cailing's imagination. Outsiders only know that Gu Xiang has Pan An's appearance and world-class talent, but they don't know that he is sometimes so cold and intimidating.

He stands in the position of Xiangguo, not for the worries of the world, and he does not have the ambition of "having tens of thousands of mansions and sheltering the poor people in the world".

And just because of the high position and power of Xiangguo, he has the right to be above 10,000 people under one person, and what he does is just to eat the king's lu, be loyal to the king, and bear the king's worries.

He cured the flood and killed the evil, for the sake of twelve words.

The moonlight is as cool as water, illuminating the courtyard as if it is under the water, and the shadows of the trees are swaying, as if the algae are soft.

The apricot-colored Luo skirt was blown by the wind, Jiang Cailing wrapped her plain white cloak tightly, hurriedly walked back to the room, and found a few books from He Mingshan's study that recorded the words related to disguise, and after reading them one by one, she still found nothing. The bell rang in the middle of the night, Jiang Cailing thought that there were still a lot of things to do tomorrow, after extinguishing the candles, lying on the bed, there would always be a picture in her mind of when Gu Jiming was in front of her today.

The black eyes are cool and gentle, as if the girl opposite is the beloved......

Jiang Cailing shook her head, she couldn't see through him more and more, how could a person with a cold nature block the knife for her.

Tomorrow, she should go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see him in person.

"Ahh

At the same time, a scream sounded in Liufu, and Ah Cai got up from the small bed in the outer room as usual, walked quickly into the inner room and lit the small lamp in front of Liu Minglou's bed, and the dark room was instantly illuminated by a warm yellow light.

I saw Liu Minglou on the bed wearing a light golden wide underwear, just woke up from a nightmare, frightened, his big grape-like eyes revealed despair and pain, and there was no shrewdness and cunning in Su Ri.

The sweat on the forehead stuck to the hair on the face, and the place where the forehead was usually tied was now exposed, only to see a long scar on the forehead like a python, but the color was not dark, so that it was not hideous. Struggling with nightmares, the wide pajamas slid down to the shoulders, and the delicate and slender collarbone had a tooth mark that had been scarred for years.

"Childe, why are you having nightmares again? Do you want to ask the kitchen to make some soothing soup and send it over? ”

Liu Minglou was dumbfounded, and his voice was like a leaky pot lid, making a squeaky sound, "It's okay, you...... Let's get out first. ”

"Then if you feel uncomfortable, remember to call Ah Cai."

After exiting the room, Ah Cai did not lie down again, he went directly to the backyard to boil hot water, and from the window of the firewood room in the backyard, he could just see the silhouette of Liu Minglou cast on the window, Ah Cai sighed, his eyes were full of distress.

That dream, he had dreamed of that scene almost every night since he was twelve years old, and then after his life was settled, he occasionally dreamed of that night that he would never forget.

Liu Minglou's rounded fingertips touched the scar on his forehead, and slowly moved to the tooth marks of the scar on the collarbone, the lines on his fingers felt the bulge in the scar, and there was a burst of nausea in his heart, and it seemed that the excited voices of those men mixed with rough air would echo in his ears, and he could also feel the hands of those people touching his body.

Liu Minglou seemed to be crazy, shouting and asking Ah Cai to send a wooden barrel for bathing, and the whole person was soaked in warm hands.

He had thought countless times, so be it, just drown, and he wouldn't think back to that night—

But every time his nose and mouth are filled with water, he will come to life again.

No, there is another person, and there is one who is not dead, and he has to earn a lot of money in order to kill the person who is sitting in a high position, in order to avenge himself-

Putting on cotton clothes, his long wet hair was draped behind him, he took out a box of broken silver from the bedside, put it under the lamp and counted it carefully, listening to the sound of gold and silver touching, in the ears of Liu Minglou, it was like the agility of the mountain spring water beating the stones, which was more pleasant to the ear than the orchestral silk bamboo, and more pious than the Buddhist scriptures.

Every now and then, Liu Minglou's restless heart will calm down, like a fishing boat sailing in the dark suddenly seeing a lighthouse, unprecedented satisfaction and stability.

He really didn't want to think about that night......
