【Nangong Mansion Book Pavilion】

The book pavilion is the Nangong family's book collection resort, in the courtyard, the trees full of Qionghua compete to open, looking from afar, like a piece of clouds falling into the world. A breeze blows, and the petals fall one after another, like flying butterflies and flying snow, beautiful and lingering.

In the cabinet, a handsome young man sat in front of the desk with a scroll in his hand, his eyebrows were picturesque, his lips were like cherries, and his skin was like snow, like a fairy in a painting.

I saw his slender and slender fingers gently swipe the pages, his long, slightly curly eyelashes fluttering with his gaze, the breeze gently blowing his dark jade-like green silk, and the sun reflected on his neck as white as snow.

Jin Ruocheng just looked at the picturesque young man blankly, and didn't want to take his eyes off for a moment.

As if he couldn't stand the hot gaze, Nangong Li gently put down the scroll in his hand and said slowly:

"Sect Master Jin has been sitting for a long time, don't you feel bored?"

He was surprised, this man came to pester himself early in the morning, and when he saw that he was going to read a book, the man said with a stiff face that he wanted to read a book together. But it had already been noon, and he didn't see the man turn the page, but stared at him in a daze.

Jin Ruocheng felt that he hadn't seen enough, and wanted to answer "not boring", but he was afraid that Nangong Li would think he was frivolous, so he replied: "It's a little, it's better ... Ah Li, you can chat with me! ”

Nangong Li couldn't help but be stunned when he saw him call himself "Ah Li", and then replied: "What does Sect Master Jin want to talk about?" ”

Jin Ruocheng got up and walked to Nangong to sit down before leaving the case, leaned sideways on the desk, and said, "Let's talk about how you wiped out the Huangling Liao family that day." ”

How could he not be curious, if he wanted to say that when he killed Jin Zeyu, there might be the help of Qin Fangsu or Bai Luohan, but when the Liao family happened, it was reported that the two did not leave Lanling. For a person who doesn't even have spiritual power, how could he destroy the Liao family overnight, this question has always haunted his heart.

Hearing this, Nangong Li was silent.

...

"Can't you say that?" Jin Ruocheng sat up straight and shouted, "I said that you are really..."

Seeing that he refused to reveal any useful information, Jin Ruocheng thought for a while and asked again: "Then you can always tell me, why did you ask me to refine medicine for you in the first place, and didn't go to him Jin Zeyu?" ”

After all, he is not the only one who knows the refining method of this antidote, for example, there is also Jin Zeyu, who was already the head of the Jin family at that time, if Nangong Li went to Jin Zeyu for help, then the one who died now is probably himself.

Because Jin Zeyu has always looked at himself unpleasantly, he has long wanted to get rid of himself, but he is afraid of attracting people's handles, so it is inconvenient to make a move. But if you borrow the hand of the Nangong family and kill yourself unknowingly, it would be better.

Nangong answered very quickly, only to hear him say: "Because of trouble." ”

"Huh? What's the trouble? Jin Ruocheng asked.

"Because I guess the condition he made should be more than just killing you." Nangong Li replied lightly.

When Jin Ruocheng heard this, he was inexplicably panicked. On the one hand, he was surprised that Nangong Li could see through his thoughts at this time so simply, on the other hand, he was a little lost, what was he missing? He couldn't figure it out himself......

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little embarrassing......

......

Nangong Li gently poked Jin Ruocheng's elbow with his fingertips......

"Huh? How? Jin Ruocheng came back to his senses, looked at him and asked.

"You're holding me down." Nangong left the road.

"Ahh Excuse me! Jin Ruocheng raised his hand and looked at Nangong Li thoughtfully.

Nangong Li stopped talking when he saw him, and planned to continue reading his book, but the book was snatched away by Jin Ruocheng.

Nangong looked at him incomprehensibly...

"I've been watching it for so long! I'm going blind! Why don't you go out for a walk! Jin Ruocheng shouted.

Without waiting for the other party to agree, Jin Ruocheng grabbed Nangong Li's wrist with one hand and walked straight out of the door.

Seeing this, Qin Fangsu just wanted to follow, but saw Nangong Li slightly signaling to him, so that he didn't have to follow.

Jin Ruocheng unintentionally saw Fang Cai Nangong Li's actions, so he suddenly felt a little proud in his heart.

【Lanling City Smoke and Rain Corridor】

The clouds are wrapped in light clothes, and the willow bank is full of red makeup.

is to ask why in a hurry, but also refers to the Lanling Smoke and Rain Corridor.

This is a popular folk song in the Jiangnan area, and the song sings about the smoke and rain corridor in this Lanling City.

To ask why it is so famous, because it is different from the ordinary fireworks Willow Lane. The girls in the smoke and rain corridor are not to mention the beauty of various countries, and they are also proficient in all kinds of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.

But the rule in the gallery is to only sell your art, not your body, so it has attracted the coveted of countless princes, nobles and famous children. But in recent years, no one has dared to break this rule, because it is said that there are "black forces" behind this smoke and rain corridor, and it has a lot of origin. In the early years, there were a few people with irregular hands and feet, but they were all interrupted alive on the spot and became a waste. Since then, the reputation of the Smoke and Rain Corridor has grown.

"What are you doing here?" Nangong Li was pulled all the way by Jin Ruocheng, and came to the front of the Smoke and Rain Corridor in a blink of an eye.

Jin Ruocheng smiled evilly and said, "What else can you do?" Of course, it's looking for a girl! After speaking, he pulled Nangong Li and walked inside.

Crossing the covered bridge, there were girls constantly greeting them with smiles. Jin Ruocheng replied with a salute and said to Nangong Li:

"I've heard for a long time that the girls here are like flowers, and when I saw them today, they really lived up to their reputation! Take your liking! I'm in for a treat today! ”

Nangong Li didn't pay attention to him, but turned his gaze to a woman in the center of the lobby who was playing the qin.

The woman seemed to have seen him too, so she also raised her head and smiled at Nangong Li.

Capturing this casual moment, Jin Ruocheng suddenly realized: "It turns out that you like this!" ”

So he called the servant and asked the woman to come and serve.

When Nangong Li heard this, he quickly stopped the little guy and said, "No need." ”

Hearing this, Jin Ruocheng grabbed Nangong Li and said with a wicked smile: "What are you ashamed of!" ”

Nangong Li saw that it was useless to stop him, so he sat back at the table and poured himself a drink.

After a while, the woman went upstairs and greeted the two of them with a manly posture: "The little woman Liu Yingying has seen two sons." ”

I saw her wrapped in a pink gauze dress, which set off her delicate and delicate figure. A pair of pear vortices appeared on the white and jade-like cheeks, and a pair of watery eyes were shining brightly.

Jin Ruocheng looked at her and said:

"It's stunning! Ah Li, you have a good eye! ”

But Nangong Li still didn't pay attention to him...

"Ah Li?" Liu Yingying said with some surprise.

"Huh? How? Jin Ruocheng saw her talking, so he asked.

Liu Yingying smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that except for Bai Gongzi, I rarely heard anyone call Nangong Gongzi like this." ”

Jin Ruocheng was even more surprised than she and said, "You... Know? But as soon as the words came out, he regretted it. I want to come to Nangong Li, who grew up in Lanling since he was a child, and is the son of a family, how could he not have been to the Yanyu Corridor.

As soon as Liu Yingying wanted to speak back, she heard Nangong Li say:

"Yingying, let's play the first Guangling, I haven't heard you play for a long time."

"Yes, Childe."

After finishing speaking, Liu Yingying slowly sat down at the table, only to see her contemplative, her jade fingers fluttered lightly, and a song of heavenly sounds came gracefully, sometimes like mountains and flowing water, sometimes like a stream gurgling......

... Nangong was fascinated by what he heard...

But Jin Ruocheng has long lost the mood to listen to the music, this woman clearly knows Nangong Li very well, and Nangong Li calls her "Yingying", and the fool can also see that their relationship should be very close.

After a song, Jin Ruocheng shouted to go back, although Nangong was puzzled, he still left it to him.

Along the way, Jin Ruocheng didn't have a taste in his heart. At the beginning, I didn't know why I wanted to come to Lanling to see him, but now, I seem to understand a little.

......

It wasn't until he returned to Nangong Mansion that Nangong Li spoke:

"Sect Master Jin."

Hearing him call himself, Jin Ruocheng turned around and looked at him.

"Girl Yingying... In fact, it is an informant cultivated by Nangong Mansion, and some secret reports are inconvenient to go from the bright side, so they are all passed into the mansion through the smoke and rain corridor. ”

Hearing this, Jin Ruocheng was shocked, but what surprised him was not the secret behind this smoke and rain corridor, but why Nangong Li told him this secret.

Could it be that his mind was discovered by him? That Nangong is from the ability to figure out people's hearts, he hasn't learned it... But if he really discovered his thoughts, then what did he mean by what he just said? Is it to explain to himself that he and the willow warbler are not what they think?

Holding a little temptation, Jin Ruocheng asked, "That... Why are you telling me? ”

"Because I want to cooperate with Sect Master Jin, I can naturally treat each other sincerely." Nangong Li said.

Jin Ruocheng breathed a sigh of relief, but seemed to be a little disappointed, and only heard him say: "What cooperation? ”

Nangong Li looked at him and said, "I want to use the power of Sect Master Jin to find out the murderer who poisoned my eldest brother, and afterwards, I will definitely present the answers and conditions that Sect Master Jin wants." ”

"Any conditions?" Jin Ruocheng asked.

As soon as the words came out, both of them felt that this conversation was very familiar, and remembered that when they first met, they seemed to say the same thing.

So, the two smiled.

Jin Ruocheng looked at Nangong Li and said, "It's okay to cooperate, but you have to promise me something first, otherwise everything will not be discussed." ”

"What's the matter?" Nangong Li asked.

I saw the corners of Jin Ruocheng's mouth rise and said, "Don't call me Sect Master Jin in the future, just call me Ruocheng." ”

"If... Clear? Nangong Li really didn't expect that what he wanted to promise himself was such a trivial matter... So I was a little dazed for a while.

"That's right! Shout again! Jin Ruocheng said with a smile.

Nangong Li frowned, then turned around and left, and said, "Boring." ”
