Chapter 108: Dinner Together
At the time, Lu Qianmo came to a mansion outside the city as promised, and it was an old man who received her.
The old man saw Lu Qianmo leading the horse for her, and then led her into the courtyard, "My master needs to arrive later if he has something, but he explained that he will definitely use Wanshan with Lu Ge Master, and before that, I will take you to walk around the courtyard." ”
"I'm tired. I don't know what to call you? ”
"Just call me Uncle Han."
"Uncle Han, are you alone in this courtyard on weekdays?" I walked a lot with Han Bo, and found that the scenery of this annex is quite large and chic, but I haven't seen anyone else along the way.
"It's not, there are three subordinates, who are busy at the moment, so I can't see them." Han Bo replied.
There are only four people in the huge house, and Lu Qianmo still feels that there are fewer people, and few people come here on weekdays. The scenery of this annex is really beautiful, and it's a pity that no one lives there.
"It's cold weather, Lu Ge mainly doesn't want to go shopping, so he goes to rest, just to see the gift that my master has prepared for you." Although Bai Mo told Han Bo that he would lead Lu Qianmo to enjoy the scenery of the courtyard, and then hand over the things to her, Han Bo still gave another suggestion, after all, the weather was too cold now.
Lu Qianmo wanted to see the scenery of the courtyard, and as for what Bai Mo gave her, she was a little curious. "I'd like to take a look around here first, and it's not too late to look at things later."
"As long as Pavilion Master Lu isn't too cold."
"It doesn't matter."
"Then the Pavilion Master himself will take a look around first, and I will lead the horses to Maas, and I will come back to you later." The Pavilion Master explained that the Pavilion Master Lu could move freely in the courtyard without restrictions and without sending people to follow.
"Okay." There should be no secrets in this courtyard, so they let themselves walk around as they please.
Lu Qianmo walked to a pond, the lotus flowers in the pond had long since withered, and the dry lotus pods were scattered and scattered, although they were not as beautiful as the lotus flowers when they were in full bloom, but they also had their own characteristics. On one side of the pond there is a small boat, and a few kapok trees are planted on the shore, the branches of which have long been bare, but they have been quietly pruned to echo the pond and lotus flowers. Lu Qianmo thought that when the snow was covering, this scene was very beautiful, and if she was lucky, she would warm a pot of wine when the sun was setting......
The courtyard here is really not ordinarily quiet, standing in it, Lu Qianmo can hear the sound of water flowing from the back mountain, there must be a waterfall.
Such a quiet environment made Lu Qianmo's soul seem to be washed. Standing in the courtyard, listening attentively to the sounds of the surrounding nature, the sound of the wind, flowing water, chirping, and a faint trace of the sound of the piano, but the sound of the piano was ethereal, so that Lu Qianmo could not really hear it.
Han Bo went and returned after leaving for about half an hour.
"Lord Lu Ge, dinner will be ready soon, and before that, I will take you to see the gift that my master has prepared for you." Han Bo said to Lu Qianmo.
"Okay, there is labor to lead the way."
"Please follow me."
Han Bo led Lu Qianmo all the way to an independent small courtyard, and then stopped. "Pavilion Master Lu, the gift is in this room, I won't go in, I'll wait for you here."
Lu Qianmo was a little strange, what did Bai Mo want to give himself, why couldn't he let people bring it to him and needed to get it in person.
Han Bo saw Lu Qianmo's doubts and said, "Pavilion Master Lu will go in and take a look." ”
Thinking that the other party would not tell him in advance, then he could only go and see it himself, Bai Mo should not play any despicable means.
Pushing the door in, Lu Qianmo saw a slightly larger brocade box on a round table, and when he looked back, he saw that Han Bo had walked to the outermost part of the courtyard and waited.
stepped forward to open the brocade box, and a set of exquisite women's clothes broke into Lu Qianmo's pupils. "Why a women's outfit?" Lu Qianmo was puzzled.
When she took out her clothes, there was a letter to herself at the bottom, which was written by Bai Mo.
The letter stated: "The lord of the cabinet has no interest in having dinner with a woman dressed in men's clothes. If you want to get the news smoothly, change this outfit into it. ”
Lu Qianmo's forehead was dripping with sweat, is this Bai Mo too wide? And the tone of his speech was not polite at all, obviously not waiting to see himself.
Should I change it or not? Lu Qianmo hesitated in her heart.
"Pavilion Master Lu, my master explained that if you don't change into this set of clothes, he won't have anything to discuss with you." Han Bo's voice came into Lu Qianmo's ears at the right time, although it was Bai Mo's words, the tone was polite.
Lu Qianmo thought to herself, isn't it just a set of clothes? What is there to hesitate about. So she closed the door and changed into women's clothes.
The women's dress prepared by Bai Mo was made of snow-white brocade, and several delicate magnolia flowers were embroidered on the cuffs and hem, either budding or blooming delicately.
In addition, there is a set of large red hooded floor cloaks to keep out the wind, and one side of the cloak is embroidered with a blooming red plum, which looms on the red fabric.
Standing in front of the bronze mirror, looking at himself in the mirror, who was both strange and familiar, Lu Qianmo actually liked this outfit a little.
Han Bo led Lu Qianmo, who had changed his clothes, to the dining room, where Bai Mo was already waiting.
Originally, Bai Mo was sitting in the seat, without any expression on his face, and his black eyes were like a pool of stagnant water and half silent. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he raised his eyes and saw Lu Qianmo, dressed in red, coming slowly in his direction.
In the past, most of the Lu Qianmo he saw was dressed as a man, so she was neat, resolute and handsome, and she could hold up a piece of the world alone. And at this moment, she is like a budding flower, her eyes are still bright, but she is a little more gentle than usual.
At this moment, Lu Qianmo re-injected Bai Mo's eyes like a pool of stagnant water, although there was still no expression on his face, but those eyes became shiny.
Whether it is a man's or a woman's clothing, she can easily attract her own attention, so how can I be willing to give up easily.
"White Pavilion Master?" Lu Qianmo walked in front of Bai Mo, but saw that the other party was staring at him for a moment.
Bai Mo retracted his gaze, hid his emotions, and said, "Please take a seat." ”
Lu Qianmo sat down beside Bai Mo, glanced at the table full of dishes, and said, "The White Pavilion Lord seems to have taken a lot of trouble today. Not only invited her to the courtyard outside the city, but also asked herself to wear women's clothes, and even prepared dishes that the two of them couldn't finish eating.
"The first time I invited the Pavilion Master of the No. 1 Intelligence Organization of the Xia Chuan Continent to dinner, of course, it took some thought. What's more, we still have a deal to do. ”
"Since the more contact with the White Pavilion Lord, the more this Pavilion Master feels that the Moyan Pavilion is really inferior to the Dark Pavilion."
"Oh?"
"The Moyan Pavilion is known for gathering intelligence, and the Dark Pavilion is known for assassination. However, the master of this pavilion found that the ability of the Dark Pavilion to collect intelligence was no less than that of the Moyan Pavilion. Isn't that a big deal? ”
The corners of Bai Mo's mouth moved imperceptibly, and said, "Is it so humble to dispel the idea of this pavilion master wanting to use Moyan Pavilion?" ”
"Useless move." Lu Qianmo commented.
Bai Mo didn't answer, raised his hand and picked up the wine jug and filled the two of them with wine, signaling the other party to drink it.
Lu Qianmo understood, raised a glass and drank with Bai Mo.
"Let's eat first." After that, Bai Mo sandwiched the dishes for himself.
Since the other party specially made an appointment with him, Lu Qianmo was not worried that he would cheat, so he ate with peace of mind.
The two of them ate unusually silently at this dinner, and apart from the occasional drink, there was no communication between the two sides. The two of them ate less than half of the dishes on this table. Although these dishes were no less than Fang Bihua and the chefs of Zhuqingyuan, Lu Qianmo had no appetite to eat more.
"Today, you're eating a little less." Bai Mo saw Lu Qianmo put down his chopsticks, and his eyes darkened.
Lu Qianmo looked at Bai Mo with a pair of black eyes, and asked suspiciously: "In my impression, I have never used kindness with the White Pavilion Master. ”
Hearing this, Bai Mo didn't have a trace of nervousness, and said unhurriedly: "You also said just now, the ability of the Dark Pavilion to collect intelligence is no less than that of the Moyan Pavilion, and this information is not a secret. ”
"Really?" Lu Qianmo didn't believe it. In fact, she doesn't need to be unbelieving, but clearly knows that the other party is lying seriously.
Bai Mo didn't answer and asked, "Otherwise, what does Pavilion Master Lu think is so?" ”
"How could the Pavilion Master know about you, after all, I didn't have the slightest interest in the Dark Pavilion."
"So you also believe that the Pavilion Master will investigate and even approach you for the sake of Moyan Pavilion."
Lu Qianmo said word by word: "I am convinced." ”
That's why you don't believe my feelings for you? So obviously you are also emotional, but you still choose to leave me? Bai Mo laughed at himself in his heart, it was really a sin that he planted.
Through Bai Mo's dark eyes, Lu Qianmo seemed to see a trace of sadness, so he hurriedly retracted his gaze, poured himself wine and drank it in a hurry.
After the liquor was down, Lu Qianmo's heart regained its calm slightly. She told herself that she must solve the matter as soon as possible, and if it continued like this, she was afraid that her heart would be shaken.
"Dinner has already been served, I wonder when the White Pavilion Lord plans to start talking about our deal?"
Bai Mo didn't answer Lu Qianmo's question, but said, "You can't wait so much. ”
"If you've spent five years working on one thing, you should understand my eagerness."
Bai Mo chuckled, thinking that there can be a few years in life, but you can persist for Yang Yan, and he actually has a trace of envy for this person.
"What conditions? Please also ask the White Pavilion Lord to speak. Lu Qianmo asked again.
Bai Mo didn't speak, but poured himself a glass of wine and drank it, put down the glass and stood up. Then he took out a letter and put it on the table, looking at Lu Qianmo with deep eyes, as if he wanted to suck her into his eyes and not let her go. The air suddenly became quiet, and Lu Qianmo felt Bai Mo's blazing gaze and didn't dare to raise his head.
After a long time, Bai Mo only said: "I hope this can help you." After finding Yang Yan, I hope you can live for yourself. Then he walked away without looking back.
Lu Qianmo stared at Bai Mo's background motionlessly, she had countless thoughts in her heart, but her hands and feet seemed to be stiff and did not cooperate.
It wasn't until Han Bo came in again, "Lord Lu Ge, my master said that the weather is late, and it is cold at night in winter and it is inconvenient to walk, so let you rest here for one night and return to Yicheng tomorrow." ”
"Did he say anything else?" At this moment, Lu Qianmo remembered that Bai Mo had not yet said what he needed her to do in exchange for the news he gave him.
Han Bo shook his head and said no.
No? What exactly does Bai Mo mean? "Please also ask Han Bo to lead the way." Lu Qianmo decided that he couldn't just leave.
"Pavilion Master Lu, please come with me."
