Chapter 192: Clues
Moyu City.
The green leaves on the locust trees block the warm summer sunshine outside, and the occasional wind blows the green leaves like blue waves, and the fragrance is pleasant under the shade of the flowers.
Someone hid under the flower tree to enjoy the shade, Feng Jingning put his hands behind his head, his eyes were slightly closed, the water-blue gauze robe poured on the hammock like flowing water, and his legs were lying side by side at will, not at all as if he had been invited to the garden to monitor, but as if he was at ease in his own home.
The wind rustled overhead, and the hammock swayed softly, like a boat wandering in the rippling blue waves. A slender hand picked a grape from the hanging basket next to him, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly, with an indescribable sense of carelessness.
"Fame and fortune go with the wind, drunk with the shade of flowers, so chic, so chic; Why bother with the flow, bask in the wind and cool, self-leisure, self-leisure. His voice was like gold and jade, and it was beautiful, and he sang casually.
In today's Yu Kingdom, the lord of the country is missing, the traitors have fled, the court is in turmoil, and the major forces are tilting against each other; Private businessmen raised prices, corrupt officials robbed, mountain bandits did evil, it was a mess, and several loyal old ministers worked together to protect the country, and they didn't know how long they could delay the situation? In addition, Gu Xi and Yan Rongzhi are fighting each other in the government and the opposition, and I don't know how to drag this precarious Yu country to the point of fragmentation?
What's more, there are also Mu Guo, Chengguo and Wei Guo, and they may take the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to send troops to carve up the fat of Yuguo, which is the lost owner.
The letter from the head of the Feng family had already been quietly delivered into this small building by the secret guard.
It is nothing more than to let him, who happens to be in Yu State at this time, do something, either to strengthen the Feng family's power control in Yu State, or to win over some power connections that should be wooed. But this fell into the well and took advantage of the fire to rob, he Feng Jingning disdained to do it, and he didn't want to do it.
Only by taking advantage of this reason for being imprisoned by Gu Xi can I get by.
These things have not yet endangered the foundation of the Feng family, he doesn't want to move, and he is too lazy to move, so let those people in the Feng family who want to compete for merit and position get a chance to seize some credit.
Feng Jingning leisurely tasted the sweetness and sourness of the grapes, but what he was worried about now was another thing. In his father's secret letter, he mentioned that Bai Zhengyan was the Yun Yan sign of Wei Kingdom, and Yun Yan Zheng was a descendant of the Bai family, and told him to take care of her.
The Mu Guo Feng family has never been clear with the Bai family of the Wei Kingdom, and the Bai family was hit in the Wei Kingdom and withdrew from Yuecheng, scattered in the rivers and lakes, and did not enter the people, and the Feng family never helped. And now, his father suddenly reminded him to make friends with Yun Yanzheng, the descendant of the Bai family, and there must be interests to be made.
But now he didn't know what this secret thing was.
Feng Jingning frowned slightly, looking at those white acacia flowers as white as snow, but thinking of the woman he never forgot. A shallow smile, a lifetime at a glance. What kind of secrets are still hidden in her, worthy of Gu Xi, Yan Rongzhi and the Feng family, who are chasing the world and intending to control the world's forces, to besiege her?
Sign, sign, have you arrived safely in the territory of the Ulcer Kingdom now?
Although he was in Yu Kingdom, he had already arranged for people to escort Yun Yanzheng back to Wei Kingdom. He knew that it was inconvenient for him to accompany him, his goal was too obvious, not to mention that he still wanted to drag down the footsteps of those who were blocking Yun Yanzheng here, and casually take the opportunity to touch the details and purpose of Gu Xi and Yan Rongzhen.
The matter of escorting Yun Yanzheng is just his own selfishness, and it has nothing to do with the interests of the family gatekeeper, let alone the interests between Wei Guo and Mu Guo, and he doesn't want this matter to be involved in a power struggle. The manpower he arranged was all a force that he had run by himself, and he was not involved through the connections of the Feng family.
He knew that in such a world, it would be absolutely impossible to protect himself, to be at ease all over the world, and to have nothing to rely on in his hands. I don't want to be helpless and resigned to fate if I encounter a desperate situation and need to protect people, and I know that the power connections in the Feng family's gate valve can only be driven by him if he is still the young master of the Feng family for a day, once he is not the head of the family or the son of the head of the family, then those connections that seem unbreakable have nothing to do with it at all.
Over the years, he has traveled all over the world, firstly, because he does not want to get involved in family affairs, does not want to compete for the head of the family, and does not want to be bound by being bound by officials in the court; Second, he is idle and indifferent by nature, and runs some forces around, so that he can one day leave the Feng family, leave the Mu country, and make the four seas his home and be at ease.
I never thought I would look at a girl in the right eye.
I never thought that I would activate these secret forces that I had been operating secretly so quickly, and now, for the sake of myself, a girl who unexpectedly looked at the right eye, he did not hesitate.
After this alarm, not only Gu Xi and Yan Rongzhen knew some of his depths, but even the eyes and ears of the Feng family were afraid that they would not be able to escape.
If these people knew that he had these powers, they were afraid that the troubles in the future would not only be entangled in him little by little.
Over the years, I have been picking myself out of the conflict of interests, and I have been standing by and being an idler, and since then, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be idle again.
"Sign, you must be safe and don't live up to my expectations of you." Feng Jingning closed his eyes and muttered softly.
Looking from a distance, the aristocratic son of the Feng family, who looks like a jade tree and a flower, seems to be very at ease, and at this moment in the cool breeze of flowers, drowsy.
The acacia flowers fell with a puff, full of his long flowing hair and clothes, like an indescribably beautiful first snow; An untouchable picture.
In the afternoon of the same day, the people in the Yunye Inn in Chiba City went out of the city in batches.
There are merchants who are really businessmen, there are Qin Wuxian and Fu Ji and a group of people, and there are the secret guards who followed.
In the upper courtyard of the plum garden, Qionghua smelled the wind and swayed, like clouds and snow waves, such as ups and downs.
Gu Xi didn't go to Bitian Pavilion, even though that kind of Xun sound was indeed a song that could only be produced by "Feng Xiang Qingyin", but he heard the subtleties in it, and he was sure that it was definitely not the Xun sound breath played by Yun Yanzheng. And the appearance of such a Xunyin here must be hidden by some conspiracy.
Do you want to lure him to show up and set up a game to intercept him? In order to hinder him from tracking the footsteps of Yun Yanzheng? To find out what power he is hiding in Chiba Castle?
Whatever the purpose, it has failed at this moment.
Gu Xi sat by the window in the room, holding a porcelain cup with his sleeves up, and carefully tasting the new early spring buds in the cup. The white porcelain cup and the green tea reflect the hand as if it were transparent, which is more beautiful than the fine white jade. He took a sip, the tea was soft and fresh, and he couldn't help but think of the cup of tea that he had ground and cooked for her in Sanssouci Valley in Ul Country that year.
After she tasted it, she smiled lightly and said, "Drinking this tea deserves the name of this valley." β
"Can you drink this tea without worry?" He asked with a smile, seeing that she tasted tea like a cow, what kind of taste could she taste?
"Or not, to be precise, forget about your worries." She abandoned the teacup, lay down on her back on the soft grass, looked at the starry night sky in front of her, and whispered: "What can really be worry-free is only what the gods in the sky can do. β
"You have a lot of things to worry about?" He asked indifferently, tasting the tyinu gently, his eyes looking at her from the rim of the cup, his eyes shining like stars.
She looked back at him and said with a light smile, "Who doesn't have one or two things to worry about?" Do you just have a breeze on your sleeves and don't think about everything? If so, then I should congratulate you. β
But he doesn't laugh and say nothing, how can people not have troubles?
She looked at his breezy face, and after a long time, her eyes gradually widened, and she covered her mouth and exclaimed, muttering, "Could it be that I have always met an immortal who came down from the sky?" β
He almost couldn't hold back a sip of tea, was rude in front of others, and after swallowing the tea, he commented: "It's really naΓ―ve." β
She smiled and bent her phoenix eyes, and said with a smile: "That's all thanks to you, this cup of cleansing troubles, one cup is enough to make people's troubles disappear." Once people are free from troubles, they become innocent. β
Gu Xi recalled this, but now he still couldn't hold back his laughter, slightly bent his eyebrows, and curled the corners of his lips. This pure smile smiled and smiled, but gradually became depressed, Ah Yan, where are you? He was thinking to himself, when suddenly the Gu worm in his body surged, Gu Xi was startled, and couldn't help but calm down, and he was engrossed in sensing the Gu worm's reaction.
His heart gradually changed from doubts to becoming clear, could it be that Ah Yan is also in this Chiba City.
Could it be that the person who played the music just now is really Ah Yan?
Gu Xi clenched his hands suddenly, his eyes were bright and shining, dark and bottomless, and he carefully recalled the music of Fang Cai.
No, that's definitely not the Xun sound played by Ah Yan.
He has absolute confidence in this discernment, and no one can fool him.
So where is Ah Yan hiding?
"Ziyi." He whispered.
Ziyi appeared inside and saluted, "Childe, what are your orders?" β
"You're in charge of monitoring what's going on in the city, is there anything unusual now?" Gu Xi asked quickly, his tone was quiet but with a hint of indistinguishable certainty.
Ziyi thought for a while and said, "There are several groups of people out of the city. β
"Who is it?" There was already a hint of caution in Gu Xi's voice.
"There are ordinary people, there are businessmen, and there are a group of special people, and the secret guard returns that person is Qin Wuxian, the second prince of Chengguo, and there is a group of secret guards who follow him." Ziyi replied carefully, with some speculation on his face, I don't know what Childe wants to know?
Gu Xi's gaze flashed a few times and asked, "Which door did Qin Wuxian go out from, and in which direction?" β
Ziyi replied: "Exit from the east gate, go up the official road, and go to the southeast." β
"Southeast?" Gu Xi muttered in a low voice and asked, "How many people are there with you, and who are they?" Can the number of people increase or decrease? β
"Fifteen men, disguised as merchants, twelve of them were his men, a concubine, and two maidservants. Except for the concubine who rarely showed up, the rest of the people were all people with martial arts. Ziyi replied carefully, waiting for his order with a respectful expression.
"Do you know where they want to go?" Gu Xi's mind turned around a few times, and then asked.
"I heard that concubine had a disease, and Qin Wu wanted to take her to the Secret Medicine Pavilion for medical treatment." Zi Yi quickly reported the information he had gathered: "Three days ago, two people visited Qin Wuxian's Yunye Inn where he was staying, Qin Wuxian was very guarded, and it was too far away and at night, so he couldn't hear them clearly. I only knew that after that, those two people stayed in the courtyard of the Cloud Leaf Inn, and until today, Qin Wuxian left the city, but those two people disappeared again. β
"Two people? Missing? Gu Xi repeated in a low voice, "Two people? He stood up suddenly, and ordered Ziyi with a solemn face: "You go and tell Su Shu that everything is standing still for the time being, and I will leave the city." If I don't come back for a long time, let him uproot them one by one. β
