Chapter 236: Sister Qingyi's Dim Sum
A string in He Angelica's brain snapped, and the words "prince" and "marry her" echoed in her ears repeatedly, realizing that Zhu Quan was very likely to be in her recording garden, although she couldn't turn a corner for a while, and couldn't link "Zhu Quan" and "Luo Baiqian's residence" together, but she still sealed her thirteen meridians with a silver needle for the first time, reducing her pulse, breathing and signs of life to a minimum.
She very much wants to eavesdrop on the conversation of the people inside, but she is afraid that she will make any movement to startle the snake, in fact, with her current level of internal strength, her breath has grown to the level of complete silence, and she can lurk in the dark to eavesdrop on the conversations of various masters without being discovered, but if the opponent is Zhu Quan, it is impossible to be too careful.
After sealing the meridians, she drifted straight into a bush without touching the ground with a gust of wind blowing and the leaves rustling loudly. She couldn't even do half the trick like this before, but today she almost perfectly completed it before the rustle of the leaves was over. Although she had just used up a large amount of True Qi from the Death of the Boat and had been in retreat and refining for a few days, it was not so much that her strength had improved, but that the environment had stimulated her potential.
While she hated Zhu Quan, she was also very jealous of him, she really wanted to know how much Zhu Quan knew about her secrets and what she planned to do with her.
The last time I inquired with Zhu Quan's henchman Fake Wind Yang Zhou Death, but I didn't ask for much useful information, Zhou Death just repeatedly recounted Zhu Quan's deep affection, describing him as an infatuated son she didn't believe in ghosts. She can only say one thing, unless Zhu Quan is not Zhu Quan now, Zhu Quan will not love anyone, he is a careerist and conspirator, everything he does exudes the smell of conspiracy and trickery, and she can smell it from ten miles away.
He Angelica was lucky in both ears, and his ear power became better than ever, and he clearly heard the breathing and heartbeat of three people coming from inside. Regarding Fang Cai's question, He Angelica didn't hear Zhu Quan's answer, and while she was slightly disappointed, she continued to hold her breath and listen.
After a burst of tea pouring down, a strange man's voice sounded, the voice was gentle and magnetic, and it was the voice that Fang had just asked, "Lord Wang, this woman is really weird, you really plan to marry her". He Angelica carefully identified that this voice did not belong to Luo Baiqian, Zhou Death or Zhu Quan, it was the voice of a stranger she had never heard before.
The strange man said: "Lord, this is not the first time I have come to Luofu, I have been here once three years ago, and I have lived in Luofu for nearly a month, at that time, I had dealt with He Angelica. ”
"Oh?"
Although it was just a monotonous and low "oh", this voice was all too familiar to He Angelica, it was Zhu Quan's voice. Ning Yuan's voice three years ago was still in the stage of changing voices, and he covered up his true voice, so that she didn't hear the part of her voice that belonged to Zhu Quan for a long time. Now listening to Zhu Quan's undisguised voice, she involuntarily squatted deeper into the bushes to better hide herself.
At the same time, she also had infinite doubts in her heart, that strange man said that he had dealt with her? How can it be? She asked herself if she had never heard that person's voice, and nodded her hand, the outsiders she had seen in Luofu three years ago, Ning Yuan's master and servant, Meng Xuan, the Peng family brothers, and the mask assassins, how could there be any outsiders in addition?
Then, Zhu Quan's voice sounded again: "Have you lived in Luofu?" When was this? ”
The strange man said: "As early as four years ago, I met Luo Maitong, the old lady of the Luo family, in the deep mountains of Lingnan. And I have always been fascinated by him, after all, we are both doctors, although I don't think of his 'world's first miracle doctor', I don't think I am necessarily worse than him, but I don't deny that he is a character. So, I did what he liked, talked with him about a lot of Taoist health topics, won his favor, and became friends with him. Then three years ago, I came to Yangzhou to find Fengyang on the order of the prince, originally I was going to live on the flower boat of the Grand Canal, and enjoy the tenderness of the women in the south of the Yangtze River, but on the night of my arrival in Yangzhou, standing on the Weaver Girl Bridge and watching the sky at night, I saw a dark blue thorn star in the sky in the far north. ”
"Thorn Star?" Zhu Quan wondered, "Could it be the thorn star that is called the 'source of troubled times' by astrologers of various dynasties and generations?" ”
According to the codex of the stargazing masters of the past dynasties, in the last years of the Shang Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there were more than once thorn stars in the sky. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, when the Zhao royal family was unable to protect the land of the Central Plains and threw the great rivers and mountains to the Mongols, there were also two thorn stars in the sky. These are all historical sources, and I have read them in my father's copywriting, and he speculates that our Ming Dynasty will soon usher in the first thorn star since the founding of the country. ”
There was a moment of silence in the garden, and then suddenly there was a sound of rattling and chewing, and he said as he chewed: "Brother, prince, why don't you eat this almond crisp?" This was sent by Luo Baiqian's son Brother Zhu, Lord Wang, this is something from Sister Qingyi's yard~~ Don't you taste it? ”
He Angelica lowered his eyes, and the voice of this immature Luo Baiqian was also something she would not mistaken. But at this moment, listening to this voice and saying "Brother Zhu, the son of Luo Baiqian", the implication is not to regard himself as Luo Baiqian, although He Angelica already knows very well that this is Luo Baiqian's "split personality" has flareed up again, but at this moment, listening to it in his ears, he still feels very weird, and he can't help but feel a chill on his back. What's going on? Luo Baiqian's second personality, the little monk Qi Chuan, entertained his "elder brother" and Ning King Zhu Quan at his house?
If it weren't for He Angelica treating Luo Baiqian for three years, and sometimes being forced to dress and feed Luo Baiqian, who became a child after committing illness, washing and combing his hair and shaving his beard, he was very familiar with his face, He Angelica would have doubted that this Luo Baiqian was like Fengyang, and he was an impostor. But after three years of care and treatment of Luo Baiqian, He Angelica can be absolutely sure that this Luo Baiqian is the real Luo Baiqian, at least, his face is not wearing any human skin mask, it is a real face of Luo Baiqian.
Therefore, for the current situation, He Angelica can only temporarily understand that Luo Baiqian's body has been "shocked" and there is an evil foreign object "invaded". It's just because she is also sure that Luo Baiqian in the previous life himself definitely has no friendship with Zhu Quan.
She also has a very impressive thing, that is, once she went back to Luofu from the palace to live, and the next night, Zhu Quan suddenly appeared in her room, she was surprised and happy, and asked him why he came, he said that he missed her and wanted to enjoy the fifteenth moon with her. So the two of them went to the garden to admire the moon, and when Luo Bai returned from drinking flower wine, the whole person walked crookedly, collided with Zhu Quan, and shouted at Zhu Quan, and let out nonsense, which scared her enough at that time. It can be seen that Luo Baiqian, who did not suffer from "split personality" at that time, did not know Ning Wang Zhu Quan at all.
Why is it that now that he has an illness, he and Zhu Quan have become a relationship where they can sit together and drink tea and eat snacks? The immature Luo Baiqian still called the man who talked about the thorn star "brother", what kind of chaotic relationship is this?
There was a sound of drinking tea and eating snacks in the silent Qilu Garden, and then, the innocent voice of Luo Baiqian, who made He Angelica goosebumps, sounded again: "How is it, Lord Wang?" The dim sum made in Sister Qingyi's kitchen, does it taste particularly fragrant? Isn't it better than everything in the palace dining room? ”
Zhu Quan snorted and asked again, "Xuanyu, you said you saw the Thorn Star in Yangzhou three years ago?" You mean, there will be turmoil in the Ming Dynasty? But I asked Mr. Bai several times, according to the celestial phenomena, if there is any chance, and he told me that the world will not change hands in the next 20 years, and will smoothly usher in the second prosperous era after the opening of the dynasty - is Mr. Bai lying to me? ”
Xuanyu? He Angelica suddenly, before Zhou Yu told her that he wanted to take her to see a miracle doctor Qi Xuanyu whose medical skills were not under the old lady of the Luo family, it turned out that Qi Xuanyu was also Zhu Quan's subordinate, no wonder they all said that Qi Xuanyu was an official and was not in office for eight months in a year, so it turned out that he went to work for Zhu Quan. That Zhu Quan is used to winning people's hearts, enveloping Bai Yangbai, encircling Zhou Death, encircling Meng Ying, it turns out that he also enveloped the emperor's favorite minister Qi Xuanyu! These people who were enveloped by him were all talented people, especially Bai Yangbai and Qi Xuanyu, couldn't they see Zhu Quan's true face? Why are everyone willing to die for him?
Luo Baiqian's "second personality" is the little monk Qi Chuan, who is also surnamed Qi, and he also calls Qi Xuanyu his brother, what is going on? Isn't Qi Xuanyu the only son of the national teacher Qi Jing, where did he get a younger brother? What did he do with his brother in Luofu? Can't figure it out.
Moreover, a medical family like Luo Fu with no officialdom future, a gentleman like Luo Baiqian, who does not learn and has no skills, can't fight with high-level bigwigs like Zhu Quan and Qi Xuanyu, and has no use value. Even if Zhu Quan really found a person who looked exactly like Luo Baiqian and put it in Luo's mansion, what was the point, all the trivial things that happened in Luo's mansion every day were trivial, and it was useless to Zhu Quan's great cause. Even if Zhu Quan wants to install eyeliner to spy on her, he doesn't have to go to great lengths to replace Luo Baiqian, right? Wouldn't it be okay to just get ten or eight maids and put them in Taoyao Courtyard, not to mention, how could she let Zhu Quan arrange spies to spy on intelligence? Still can't figure it out.
He Angelica, who was full of doubts, continued to listen attentively, only to hear Qi Xuanyu say unhurriedly: "Bai Yang Baidao is so deep that even my father is difficult to match, so I am not qualified to deny what he said, I just tell the facts I have seen and known." I saw a faint blue star rise from the far north sky, and in less than an hour it circled half of the night sky, and finally fell southwest of the Weaver Girl Bridge; And the fact that I know is that the thorn star is a sign of troubled times, and the blue thorn star is the most dangerous of the eighteen colors. Lord Wang, that thorny star falls in the southwest, where Luo Mansion is located. ”
Zhu Quan was silent for a moment and asked, "Blue Thorn Star, what kind of dangerous method?" ”
Qi Xuanyu replied: "As far as I know, the last time the blue thorn star appeared in historical records was when Yin Shang was destroyed, and several great astrologers said at the same time that the blue thorn star came out when the demon Ji Daji came. ”
