Chapter 15 The thief does not go empty

Putting down the book in his hand, he yawned lazily.

"Li'er, I still look so sleepy at noon. Yesterday I heard that I was going to change the shop logo, so you seized the opportunity to be a thief? Nan Jiyue leaned on the couch Nan Jiyue, her eyes full of rotten wood that could not be carved.

"In the past, I used to hear people tell the story of thieves shouting to catch thieves, but today I have seen what it means to be a real thief shouting to catch a thief. Speaking of being a thief, aren't you much better at it than I am? "At such a special time, he happened to come to Yangxing City. What is his purpose?

Nan Jiyue's gaze fell on the book in Chu Jiangli's hand, "Theory of the Art of War". This book was written by Zhao Chong, a master of the art of war of the Great Yi Dynasty more than 200 years ago, and it has always been a contentious thing for soldiers. It's just that when the Three Kings broke through the imperial capital of the Great Yi Dynasty, the "Theory of the Art of War" was nowhere to be found.

It is rumored that the lord of the Great Yi Dynasty was taken away when he escaped from the palace, and later the lord of the Great Yi Dynasty jumped down the cliff of Yi Death in Fenglu Mountain, and "The Art of War" has since become a legend of the soldiers. I didn't think it was in her hands.

Nan Jiyue looked away from the "Theory of the Art of War" in her hand and slowly walked around her room. The furnishings are simple but exquisite, and the arrangement seems random but contains hidden traps, and if someone breaks in, she can detect it at the first time. There were a few bright red lotus flowers in the vase by the window, "Do you know another word about thieves?" ”

Nan Jiyue's slender hand caressed the red lotus, just like the white jade stained with blood.

"What?" Chu Jiangli sat up straight and stared at his expression tightly.

"Thieves don't go empty." Nan Jiyue carefully brushed each lotus flower, as if she was studying the value of the lotus. Finally, a faint smile curled into the corners of his mouth, a smile that was shallow, but with an indescribable beauty. He smiled and took out two red lotuses from the bottle, leaving only one in the bottle. "This one isn't the biggest, it's not the reddest, but it's the longest."

"Really? What's the use of staying even in the last one? Once the flower is off the root, it will not live long, and it doesn't matter if it has one or two more days or one or two days less. It's like a person who has worked hard to get what he wants, and who can guarantee that he will have it forever. It's better to let everything run its course. Chu Jiangli lay back on the couch again, his eyelids drooping, blocking his misty eyes.

"Li'er, what is nature when people are in the world? In fact, everyone is in nature. What we are doing is nothing more than creating what others call nature. Nan Jiyue picked up the two lotus flowers he had taken out of the vase on the table and put them back in the vase.

"Actually, I'm here to deliver this to you." Spread out your palm, and on it lay a slightly yellowed piece of stationery.

What is so special about this epistle? Peace of mind and return soon. It's a very common word of peace, and everyone can write it like this. Chu Jiangli flipped the letter over and over, and paper was the most ordinary paper. The word is also an ordinary word, whether it is roasted or flooded, it is just a hope of peace, and the eight words of return as soon as possible, there is no payment or special pattern.

Nan Jiyue took the letter in her hand, raised it to the tip of her nose and sniffed lightly, "There is a faint rosin fragrance in the ink, which is different from the ink used by Liyang and Nanyue. Did you know that there is a mountain called Luna Mountain in the deserted city of Gaodilan, and there is a black pine forest on Luna Mountain? ”

"Hypocrite, how is it that your nose is more sensitive than that of some animal? However," Chu Jiang lost interest, "I once deliberately let go of a person who came to kill me, and then followed him to Lanhuang City, and then disappeared without a trace. Later, I tried a few more times, and each time I got to Lanhuang City, I would lose it. I know they're from the deserted city of Gaudiran, and it's useless to me. ”

"No," Nan Jiyue shook her head, a glint in her eyes, "Mo Songlin, Thousand Wind Army." ”

The Thousand Winds Army is an army created by Gao Diyi, who is known as a military advisor and is good at strategy, with 200,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom are strong in martial arts, with one enemy and ten. In addition, the Gao Di people have always been strong and strong, and they may be one against twenty against Liyang. If it is Nanyue, it is one enemy and thirty.

Gaudí is located in the north, and when King Gaudí accepted the fiefdom hundreds of years ago, Gaudí was just a barren and scarce land. After hundreds of years of changes, the country of Gaudi has also become rich, but it still cannot support a large number of soldiers. Therefore, there are not many noble spirits in their soldiers.

Luna Mountain is the place where the Thousand Winds Army is stationed, and they train in Luna Mountain on weekdays. The ink pine in the ink pine forest is the raw material of the special ink of the Gaudi royal family. The ink pine forest is close to the Thousand Winds Army, and they write in pine ink, which is the most reasonable speculation.

"You mean the Thousand Winds? Why did the Thousand Winds Army go to such lengths to kill the granddaughter of the general of another country? Even if you want to provoke a war, it is better to kill a prince and princess to be effective. ”

After five years of perseverance, Chu Jiangli felt that this was more like a personal grudge, such as her accidentally destroying someone else's whole family. Or, it is to break up someone else's marriage. The world says that they would rather tear down a temple of great merit than destroy a marriage. It can be seen that if she really inadvertently beat the mandarin duck, it is really worth chasing her for five years by the people behind her.

"Yes, he has only one purpose, and that is your life. Moreover, he disdains to use your family and friends against you. Nan Jiyue put down the note, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"And then?" Chu Jiangli asked, "What else do you know?" "He doesn't do things that he doesn't know what he is sure of, and he doesn't do things that don't make sense.

"Some people frequently send the Thousand Winds Army out, and there is no return, and the action is so big. The Thousand Winds Army is directly subordinate to Gao Diyi, if Gao Diyi is not the mastermind behind the scenes, he must be the one in the know. ”

Nan Jiyue's face was calm, and her eyes were like the bright white moon in the dark night, bright and soft. It is not as dazzling as the sun, but it does not let people notice that his light is sprinkled all over his body inch by inch. On the way alone, I inadvertently looked up and realized that I had been with me for so long.

"Hypocrite, don't you want me to kill Gao Diyi?" Chu Jiangli stood up and approached Nan Jiyue step by step, his eyes fixed on his face, trying to see his true thoughts from his face.

The Thousand Winds Army has 200,000 horses, plus ordinary soldiers, and Gao Di has a total of 400,000 soldiers and horses. Liyang soldiers are millions on the horizon, and if they really start a war with Gaudi, it is not necessarily who loses and who wins when it really fights. Although Nanyue had 500,000 soldiers and horses, this country that admired the culture of literati was really the weakest among the three countries.

Emperor Nanyue attached great importance to the so-called talented Wenchen, and the military would be severely suppressed. The descendants of the founding generals of the military generals and the generals of the expedition to the west did not have a good time, and they held military power in their hands but had no place to use it. Once the war starts, Nanyue will bear the brunt. Chu Jiang couldn't understand Nan Jiyue's intentions.

"Li'er, I don't care about Gao Diyi's life and death. Because he is already in my hands. Nan Jiyue's eyes burst out with a touch of pride, which was the confidence of holding the world in her hands.

Chu Jiangli sneered, "I have been tracking for several years and have not found out that the person who pursued me is related to Mo Songlin, as soon as you made a move, you intercepted the letters of the Thousand Winds Army and your companions, how powerful the means are!" ”

Chu Jiangli was even more cold, and his heart was cold, "Don't say that you searched for this letter from those people, I will search my body every time I solve the pursuit, and they don't have any letters on them at all." The Thousand Winds Army gathers the elite of Gaodi, and the figures of those killers are no different from those of Liyang. It is clear that you have long known that the person who pursued me and killed me was related to the Thousand Winds Army, and even the mastermind behind the scenes made it clear to you. ”

"Li'er is really smart." This is an admission of Chu Jiangli's speculation.

His throat was a little dry, and his chest was uncomfortable, Chu Jiangli took a deep breath. In Gao Di, if he masters Gao Diyi, he will master the movements of the Thousand Winds Army, and he can preemptively strike if there is any change. The medical hall is secretly located in the important towns of the Three Kingdoms, and even in Yangxing City, the center of Liyang's power, a Wangfeng Hall was opened.

Jiyue Gongzi is a miracle doctor in the world, and he doesn't know how many people's lives and deaths are in his hands. It's a pity, everyone in the world says that the son of Jiyue is glorious and beautiful, and there is a gentleman's legacy. As everyone knows, as long as he makes a slight move, he can flow like a river of blood without spending a single soldier.

"Hypocrite, what the hell do you want?" Chu Jiangli's eyes were filled with mist. After ten years of friendship, he watched the mastermind behind the scenes hunt her down again and again, and he was so cold-blooded. Why do you want to tell your secrets today?

When their eyes touched, they touched the water in Chu Jiangli's eyes, and their hearts trembled. There was a trace of puzzlement in her dark eyes, and she raised her hand as if to touch her eyes, feeling the coldness of Chu Jiangli's whole body, and finally put down her hand. "Li'er, there has long been a dark tide between the three kingdoms. Liyang and Gao Di are eyeing Nanyue, and the world is inevitably going to be chaotic. So, why are you sad? ”

Chu Jiangli sat back on the couch and no longer looked at this man who was colder than the night of the ninth winter. Why, Chu Jiangli doesn't know why. She didn't know where the inexplicable pain in her heart came from.

"I found that there is a force slowly infiltrating Nanyue, to be precise, infiltrating my side." Nan Jiyue walked to Chu Jiang and sat down on the edge of the couch, looking at the inexplicable woman in front of her. "I haven't been in Nanyue for a long time, and I only discovered this force two years ago. Following the investigation of this force, I only recently got the exact news that this force is the same as the one who is chasing you. ”

The flat tone did not have the slightest emotional fluctuations, just a simple flat and straightforward statement to explain the facts, and it seemed to imply a hint of explanation.

Chu Jiangli's expression was relieved, and the coldness that lingered around him lightened. sarcastically: "Is there anyone in this world who can make you suffer?" The little woman admired it very much, but she was so sad to see it. ”

Nan Jiyue just said: "Prime Minister Hu sent someone to Wangfeng Hall, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow to treat the Prime Minister's wife." ”

Without waiting for Chu Jiang to speak, Nan Jiyue got up with her sleeves straight.

He paused at the door and looked up at the scorching sun in the sky. Raise your hand to your forehead to block out the harsh sunlight. His eyes narrowed slightly, the summer sun was indeed too dazzling. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of red at the corner of the corridor, and Nan Jiyue's head was tilted, and the corner of the red shrank and disappeared.

By the time Chu Jiangli found out that Nan Jiyue, a hypocrite, was really a thief, the white had already drifted away.

Around the corner of the cloister, "Girl, there's news from there, urging us to act as soon as possible." The man reminded.

The woman kept thinking about the faint glance of the man in white just now, this glance, light and fluttering, as light as a feather. Falls on the body without the slightest weight. But she was shocked into a cold sweat, just because she saw the extreme darkness in the depths of her eyes. A light touch is a piercing pain, this pain, as long as you experience it once, you can never escape and never forget it.

Now she has reached a dilemma, and she can't help herself. Her eyes fell on Chu Jiangli's room, and the woman deliberately lowered her voice, a little helpless, with the powerlessness of submitting to fate, "Wait a little longer." ”

"But, girl, your body ......," the man was a little worried.

At this time, another man pulled his arm, pulled him and whispered, "Have you forgotten Mu Gongzi?" If it's too obvious, that person won't let Mu Gongzi go. ”

"If you say so, it doesn't matter if the girl lives or dies! That person didn't mean to stop the girl, there will always be a way to do Mu Gongzi's affairs. Now it's the girl's body that matters. The man disagreed with his words.

"You—" The other man was about to speak, when the woman waved him off. "Needless to say, the situation is ever-changing, and we see the opportunity."

"Yes." The two men retreated, and the secret conversation in the cloister ended.

Yangxing City, where countless powerful people live in Liyang, there are more than one such secret talks, and people are painstakingly lonely, using all their means just to get their own share of joy.
