Chapter 8: Conspiracy Emerges
In the castle guard's mansion, the castle guard was whispering to a man wearing a mask with half of his face, and because he was so engrossed, the castle guard did not notice Yin Qi'an's approach at all.
"Are you ready?" The city guard looked at the blue jade cup in his hand and spoke calmly.
The masked man looked around, picked up the wine on the table and drank it down: "Ready, but there is one thing that is still tricky at the moment." ”
"Say it quickly." There was a hint of panic on the castle guard's face.
What followed was a whisper in the ears of the two people, although Yin Qi'an had tried very hard to distinguish the content of their voices, but because there were no rockery pavilions and trees in this city guard's mansion, it was not suitable to observe each other too closely.
Since she couldn't hear the conversation between the two people clearly, she wanted to see that this small city guard dared to break ground on her head, and blamed herself completely for bullying the people and oppressing the merchants!
At the beginning of the dinner, the number of participants was really not a few, but most of them were wealthy merchants in the city, and the number of officials was not much. Yin Qi'an sat in his place and never moved the wine glass in front of him.
"Oh, Miss Yin, you are our honored guest here! Come, let me introduce to you, this is the top beautiful man in Zimengxuan today, known as the jade-faced Langjun Chu Xiao. ”
"And this is the daughter of today's Shangshu, Miss Yin Qi'an, a genius of Tianzhong, take good care of it! Don't be slack! ”
After introducing Yin Qi'an and Chu Xiao to each other, the city guard was just about to sit down, when he saw a soldier running into the private room from outside in a panic and rushing straight to the city guard.
"Presumptuous! As a soldier, how can you be so unruly! Seeing that his soldiers were so unruly, the city guard was also annoyed in his heart, and slowly got up and scolded sharply.
Where would the soldier have thought that his momentary anxiety would make the castle keeper so angry, and he stood there in a panic, forgetting the purpose of his coming.
Yin Qi'an saw that the scene was quite embarrassing, and said with a smile: "Presumably, this soldier should have an urgent matter that needs to be reported to the city guard, so he is so rude, the city guard should be restless." ”
Hearing Yin Qi'an's rescue, the city guard also felt that he had a reason to step down, snorted lightly, and sat down slowly: "Say!" What's up? ”
"My lord, the national teacher is here!" The soldier woke up like a dream, and hurriedly stepped forward to speak, saying, faintly casting a grateful look at Yin Qi'an.
The castle guard hurriedly stood up: "What?!" Where are the people?! ”
"Master Hui, at this moment, the national teacher has arrived in the front hall, is using tea, and the master is accompanying him."
Cheng Shou's face became a little unnatural due to nervousness, and he arched his hand at Yin Qi'an and said: "Miss Yin, you use it slowly, don't see outside, I still have business to do, it is inconvenient to accompany me for a long time, and please forgive me." ”
After finishing speaking, he walked straight out of the private room, apologized to the guests outside the door, and turned to leave.
Looking at the man in front of him with a strong smell of fat powder, Yin Qi'an's heart was filled with a feeling of disgust, it seemed that the city guard should be about to make a move, and the reason why he left under the pretext was mainly to avoid suspicion and create a misguidance that someone proved that he was not present.
"Want to have fun? That girl will have fun with you! The corners of Yin Qi'an's mouth outlined a sneer, but his eyes never left Chu Xiao's hand.
