Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mysterious Man
The night is quiet, and the people are asleep. Lou Qiyi stood in the night dressed in red, motionless looking at the ruins of the wall in front of him and the barren and grassy general's mansion.
"Father, mother. Ah Qi is back! As he spoke, Lou Qi walked in step by step with heavy steps.
Lou Qi looked around, and the burnt marks stimulated her mind. The gentle face of the mother, the helplessness of the father, the unwillingness of the elder brother, and the terrible cries of those innocent domestic servants, all kinds of things in the past floated one by one.
This is the first home she came to in another world, and the first warmth she enjoyed, but she was incompetent......
Is this God punishing himself? Because I have killed too many people, I let myself get what I finally got and lost!
"Since Your Excellency is here, why don't you show up!" A cold voice echoed all around.
Then, out of the shadows came a man dressed in black with his face covered.
"Lord Murong, oh no! It should be called Miss Lou Qi, I don't know how I feel when I see this situation? ”
Lou Qi turned around and looked at it coldly, and said unabashedly: "Your Excellency knows me very well!" It was a woman's voice. Interesting......
Seeing that Lou Qi didn't deny it, the man in black laughed, "Miss Lou Qi didn't ask why I would know?" I don't want to know how the identity I want to hide will be known to me? ”
Lou Qi lowered his eyes and played with his fingers, "Is this important?" "Since I can stand here, I am not afraid that the other party will know.
When the man in black heard this, he took a few steps forward and said, "Isn't it important? If I don't pay attention to it, I'm afraid that Miss Lou's plan will only be ......" The man in black didn't finish his words, but the meaning was already very clear. If the South Vietnamese people, especially the emperor Gong Zehong, knew about it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Lou Qi raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows to look at the man in black, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked a smile, "Your Excellency didn't invite you to come here to talk about this!" Since half a year ago, I have known my identity by you since a letter sent by Your Excellency, and I am still standing here in the past half a year, thank you, Your Excellency, right? "Half a year ago, I received a letter that said that it was the purpose of my return to South Vietnam. And the name of the person who wrote the letter is Fuxi, of course, I also know that it is the pseudonym used by this person, and I am very puzzled why this person knows his identity!
"Miss Lou Qi is really smart. Yes, it is true, and I know where the man is. ”
This sentence is only half said, and Lou Qi understands that there is no free lunch in the world. The other party goes to great lengths to find himself, not just to tell himself where he is. The reason for this is that I am very curious!
"A woman who can evade the stalk of my people is still a person in the palace. Your identity makes me very curious! ”
Lou Qi's careless words made the people in black feel a pang, "How do you know ......" As soon as the words were finished, the man in black was a little annoyed when he realized that he had fallen into Lou Qi's scheme.
Seeing this, Lou Qi smiled with satisfaction. In fact, I didn't confirm that this person was from the palace, and I was just guessing before, but at this time, it was clear after a little try.
The man in black naturally saw Lou Qi's smile in his eyes through the moonlight, and his voice couldn't help but be a little colder, "I deliberately lured your people to the palace that day, just to confuse you!" There are many people in the palace, and there are even fewer people who can enter and exit the palace without being discovered, and you are not in the palace, so it is difficult to find out who it is. Even so, how can you doubt ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lou Qi, "I doubt you, I don't need a reason!" After talking so much, are you trying to wait for your people to come? In this way, I am a little embarrassed, I am afraid that your people will not be able to come. With that, Lou Qi walked towards the man in black step by step.
The alarm bell sounded in the heart of the black-clothed people, and she squinted at Lou Qi who came over, but she actually saw through it, "Miss Lou Qi, what is this doing?" I just wanted to make a deal with you, so why bother! ”
Lou Qi's footsteps paused, stopped and nodded lightly, "Say it!" I listened. ”
Seeing that Lou Qi stopped, the man in black smiled a little proudly, "The person Miss Lou Qi is looking for is in the palace, in the basement of the Jinluan Palace of the Nanyue Emperor. ”
Hearing this, Lou Qi raised his eyes and looked at the man in black with a look of disbelief, and said in a deep voice: "In the secret room of the Jinluan Palace? So how do you know? ”
Seeing Lou Qi's disbelief, the man in black said lightly: "It doesn't matter how I know, the important thing is that you can only trust me!" ”
Halfway, Lou Qi raised his eyes, and his blade-like eyes swept over the man in black, "Okay!" I believe you. What about the conditions? ”
The man in black was very satisfied when he heard this, "The condition is ...... The jade pendant on your body! ”
"Hahahaha...... Your Excellency really knows how to open conditions, just a jade pendant, why do you need to ask me all over the street? ”
"Why did Miss Lou Qi pretend not to know. Since I have spoken, it is sure that it is in you. This jade pendant lies in that person, which is more important and which is more important, Miss Lou Qi should be clear! ”
Lou Qi looked at the man in black, his eyes deepened, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, "Then what if I don't give it?" ”
"Don't give? Oh, since I know where that person is, I naturally ...... Uh......"
Before the man in black finished speaking, he saw Lou Qi coming behind the other party in the blink of an eye and choking the neck of the man in black.
"Threaten me? Hmmm......"
The cold and piercing voice came from his ears, and the black-clothed man's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that Lou Qi would suddenly make a move on him, and he didn't know why Lou Qi had such good martial arts!
"Uh......" The neck was choked by Lou Qi, and the man in black was a little out of breath and wanted to get rid of it, but saw Lou Qi tighten up a little.
"No one has ever dared to threaten me, you are the first! I'd like to see who would be so bold. ”
As he spoke, Lou Qi ripped off the hat of the man in black, turned his head sideways, Lou Qi was a little incredulous, and then smiled: "Ya Concubine Niangniang is really good disguise!" The gentle and virtuous lady in this palace is actually the person in front of me. How? Still want to talk about conditions? ”
was found out, and the concubine was full of anger, but she was bound and couldn't speak.
Seeing this, Lou Qi's hand pushed, and Ya Concubine fell to the ground breathing profusely, and stared at Lou Qi viciously from time to time, "You actually know martial arts?" ”
Lou Qi took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands carefully, then threw it away, raised his eyes and looked at Ya Concubine with a smile, "Since you will find out my identity, haven't you found out that I can do martial arts?" ”
The man in black bit his lip and thought that he had overlooked such an important matter. This Lou Qi, who escaped death three years ago and was rescued to Dongli, became the county lord of Dongli again, her identity can't be so simple! I was careless.
Thinking of this, Concubine Ya looked up at Lou Qi, "You, who is it?" ”
