Chapter Ninety-One: The Secret Code
The assassin he grabbed a few days ago had a very hard mouth, and Qian Chengyue didn't ask for any important information after interrogating it for a long time. However, now he can be sure that the two waves of Assassins who were captured were not from the same force.
"Lord Wang, Pavilion Master Lu is here." The housekeeper of the Yue Wang's Mansion came to pray. Because Qian Chengyue had brought Lu Qianmo and Shen Ling to the palace before, everyone who had seen him knew him.
Qian Chengyue was a little surprised when he heard this, he hadn't seen Lu Qianmo for a few days. At first, when he heard what Shen Ling said, he really thought that she and Moxi had gone out to run errands. Later, I learned that she was injured and went back to Moyan Pavilion to recuperate.
"What about people?" Qian Chengyue asked.
"The minion has been asked to wait in the living room." The butler replied.
Qian Chengyue looked at Ah Yu and said, "I'll leave it to you here." Don't be polite to them, just don't kill them. ”
"My subordinates understand." Ah Yu replied.
The living room of the Yuewang Mansion.
Lu Qianmo was waiting for Qian Chengyue.
"Shallow foam, long time no see. I heard that you were injured, but I didn't have time to see you, but now you came to me first. Qian Chengyue said.
Lu Qianmo saw that Qian Chengyue's eyelids were blue and black, and her face was tired, thinking that she had not rested well because of the affairs of the Southern Xinjiang Mission. "I'm grateful that you took the time out of your busy schedule to see me. As for the injury, don't you think I'm fine right now? ”
Seeing that Lu Qianmo spoke politely, Qian Chengyue seemed a little displeased. "What are you talking about, although we haven't known each other for a long time, I feel very close to you and really regard you as a friend."
Lu Qianmo smiled slightly and said, "Thank you." "Regardless of whether the other party knows that he was injured in Zhuqingyuan, this matter has nothing to do with him after all.
"If you are so polite to me again, I will be angry." Qian Chengyue said.
"Okay, okay, in order not to make you angry with me, I won't be polite to you. lest thou shalt not see me, and drive me away. Lu Qianmo said with a smile.
Qian Chengyue smiled and said, "Say, come to me for something." ”
"I'm here for Shen Ling." Lu Qianmo said the purpose.
When Qian Chengyue heard this, he got serious and said, "Mo Xi has already told me about Shen Ling's disappearance. It's just that I haven't found anything on my side yet. However, when you came to me today, did you have any clues that you need my help? ”
"Yes. Because we found out that the person who captured Shen Ling may be related to the Dongyue royal family, I want to ask you for help. But I'm also aware of your situation in Dongyue, and if you find it difficult, I'll never mention it. ”
Qian Chengyue frowned slightly, and said, "You also think that this matter is related to Qian Chengjue?" ”
"Has anyone ever said that?" Lu Qianmo asked.
Qian Chengyue bowed his head and said, "When Mo Xi sent someone to inform me, it was to let me pay more attention to the movements of the palace. However, I haven't noticed anything suspicious, how do you know for sure? ”
It turned out that Yun Moxi had suspected Qian Chengjue early on. "Last night......" Lu Qianmo told Qian Chengyue about yesterday's events, except for the other party's intention to cooperate with Moyan Pavilion for a long time.
"The other party's quid pro quo is for you to find out the murderer who assassinated the Southern Xinjiang Mission outside Weizhou City?" After listening to Lu Qianmo's narration, Qian Chengyue asked.
"Yes."
This person ended up in the palace? Qian Chengyue's eyes darkened, it seems that nine times out of ten, this matter was done by Qian Chengjue. "The palace is heavily guarded, and it is difficult to rescue him, and besides, we haven't found out where Shen Ling is being held, so this matter needs to be considered in the long run."
Although Moyan Pavilion also has people in the palace, it is really not easy to save people from inside, so she will come to find Qian Chengyue. Among the people she knew, no one knew everything about Dongyue Palace better than him. "I know that although we all guessed that Qian Chengjue arrested Shen Ling, there is no real evidence, and it is too risky to act rashly."
"I will find out this matter as soon as possible, and I will inform you as soon as there is news." Qian Chengyue said.
"Thank you." Lu Qianmo said gratefully. "I heard that the Southern Xinjiang Mission was attacked many times in the post house, and this matter must have been deliberately provoked by someone to provoke the conflict between you and Qian Chengjue, and then sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman. You are the most disadvantageous party in this matter, and you need to be more careful. Lu Qianmo reminded.
Lu Qianmo is right, the mastermind behind the scenes wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and Qian Chengjue also wants to take over the affairs of southern Xinjiang to suppress himself. Even if he can ensure the safety of the southern Xinjiang mission, at most there will be no loss, and only by finding out the murderer behind the scenes can he be regarded as a victory. In the matter of Southern Xinjiang, Qian Chengjue is a winner, unless Southern Xinjiang gives up Qian Chengjue, this possibility is relatively low. Therefore, if you want to turn the tide of the war, you can only start with other things.
"Thanks for the reminder." Qian Chengyue thanked him. Although he understood what the other party said, he had to admit that the other party was well-intentioned.
"The murderer of the Southern Xinjiang Mission, Moyan Pavilion will also look for clues, I hope I can help you when the time comes." Lu Qianmo continued.
Qian Chengyue understood that Mo Yan Pavilion was actually looking for the murderer to prepare for both, and if they couldn't find out where Shen Ling was, then they would use this to exchange with each other. However, the other party is willing to share the news with him, which can be regarded as a kind of help to himself.
Lu Qianmo came out of King Yue's mansion, and when he returned to the mansion, he found that Bai Ziyan had been waiting for him for a long time. However, the other party has come to see him after knowing that he is injured, and this will appear again in a day, maybe there is something wrong. After all, Bai Ziyan has begun to officially take over the position of the head of the Bai family, and there should be many things to deal with.
"Ziyan." Lu Qianmo saw Bai Ziyan and called.
"You're back, Bai Gongzi has news of Shen Ling here." Zhixi said.
Hearing this, Lu Qianmo's heart involuntarily tightened, and he asked eagerly, "What did Ziyan find?" ”
Bai Ziyan handed the jade pendant in his hand to Lu Qianmo and said, "Take a look." ”
Lu Qianmo took the jade pendant and recognized at a glance that it was the jade pendant that Bai Ziyan gave to Shen Ling that day, and Shen Ling had always carried it with him. "Where was this found?"
"It was someone who took this jade pendant to the pawnshop of the Bai family to pawn, and was recognized by the shopkeeper before handing it over to me. I have already sent someone to check, this person only picked up the jade pendant by chance, and it has nothing to do with Shen Ling's disappearance. However, we found a mark where he found the jade pendant. Bai Ziyan took out a piece of rice paper from his arms and handed it to Lu Qianmo, which was copied by the person he sent to investigate.
Lu Qianmo opened it and saw that a circle was drawn on the paper, and there was a dot in the center of the loop, and a straight line connected the dot to the ring. This is exactly the code she agreed with Shen Ling, only the two of them know. "This is indeed what Shen Ling left."
When Zhixi heard this, he took the rice paper in Lu Qianmo's hand and checked it, and found that he didn't recognize this mark, so he asked, "This is the code you agreed upon?" ”
"Yes." Lu Qianmo confirmed Zhixi's guess, and then said to Bai Ziyan: "Ziyan, I need to go and check it out in person." ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
"Zhixi, you arrange a few people to follow, I need them to go to the neighborhood to find out the news." Lu Qianmo said.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Lu Qianmo did not object.
……
Yun Bohou Mansion, Yun Lao Hou Courtyard.
Yun Mo came slowly, and Old Marquis Yun and Marquis Yun were already waiting for him.
"Grandfather, uncle." Yun Moxi stood at the door of the living room and called.
Old Marquis Yun said: "You are here, come and sit down, we have something to tell you." ”
Yun Mo sat down on a chair and waited for the other party to speak.
Old Marquis Yun looked at Marquis Yun and said, "Song'er, tell him what the emperor told you in the study today." ”
"Yes, father." Marquis Yun looked at Yun Moxi and said, "Today, the emperor and uncle talked about your marriage. ”
Hearing this, Yun Moxi did not have a trace of expression on his face, and he did not answer.
Seeing this, Marquis Yun continued: "The emperor said that you are not too young, and it is time to get married. However, he did not say which lady he would marry to you. It will take some time for this matter to be settled. ”
Yun Moxi still sat indifferently without the slightest expression. Old Marquis Yun understands that he is very unhappy in his heart.
"You should know that if the emperor does not agree to your marriage, it will not be possible. If he gives you a marriage, even if it is not the person you want, you will not be able to resist it. Old Marquis Yun said.
This time, Yun Moxi did not continue to be silent, "If there is nothing else, Xi will leave." With that, he wanted to get up and leave.
"Wait." Old Marquis Yun said.
Yun Moxi stopped, but didn't look back, and asked in a faint tone, "What else does grandfather have to talk about?" ”
"Grandfather hasn't asked about your private affairs for many years, and I haven't stopped you from doing anything, because you're my grandson, and I've watched you grow up and trust in your abilities. However, there is something that my grandfather had to say today. ”
Yun Moxi was silent.
"Grandfather knew that there was a girl living in your yard before, something that had not happened in more than twenty years. I don't know what you think of that girl, but my grandfather still has to remind you that it's best to take away the thoughts you shouldn't have, lest you fall deeper and deeper, and don't do what you know you can't do. Old Marquis Yun said.
Hearing this, Yun Moxi chuckled lightly and said, "Grandfather filtered." I'm not even friends with that man. "We just approached each other with a purpose.
"That's the best." Old Marquis Yun said. Although Yun Moxi denied it, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"If nothing else, take your leave." Yun Moxi didn't stay long and left the courtyard of Old Marquis Yun.
On the way back to Zhuqingyuan, no one saw any abnormality in him, he was still the prince of Yunbohou Mansion who was light and calm, and kept a three-point distance from people, and even Qingqing and Qingming didn't see his abnormality.
It wasn't until Yun Moxi returned to his room that the emotions in his eyes gradually revealed. His dark eyes were bottomless, stirring up a whirlpool, as if they were about to swallow everything in the world.
I don't know how long it took, Yun Moxi's eyes gradually regained calm, like a pool of water, without a trace of waves. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a mocking smile was withdrawn.
Qian Chengjue, do you think this son will be as you wish?
