Chapter 220: The Book of Uninvited
Nineteen finally lived in Yanfu again, she was young after all, and her description of her master always stayed at the name of eighteen, and her age could not be said, but she was a very old man. I have to say that with such a description, trying to find the nineteenth master in the Henghuang City, which has a population of nearly one million, is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
But Xu Han still troubled Yan Shu and Chu Qiu to leave, and posted notices all over the city to try their luck.
But it is obvious that for Xu Han recently, luck never seems to be on his side. Therefore, the notices posted out are also like mud cows entering the sea, silent.
Nineteen stayed as he wished.
As always, she pestered everyone every day to learn the exercises, but everyone avoided her, only Su Mu felt guilty and taught her a trick and a half from time to time.
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Han can only rely on this matter, after all, he still has bigger troubles - tomorrow is the three-day deadline issued by Luo Mo.
At this moment, he was sitting in the main house of Yan Mansion, looking leisurely drinking the tea that Chu Qiuli had "come by" from nowhere.
"Xu Gongzi is very leisurely and elegant. Nangong Jing, who had been watching Xu Han drink tea for half an hour in this main room, finally couldn't hold it anymore, so he asked out loud at that time.
"Lord Nangong, do you want to have some? This tea is not bad, the first drink is slightly dry, but the second drink is full of sweetness, it is very unique. "Old God Xu Han is here, and he doesn't seem to be bothered by some impending trouble in the slightest.
Hearing this, Nangong Jing glanced at the tea cup in Xu Han's hand with cold eyebrows, and then asked without being salty or light: "Xu Gongzi doesn't drink tea often?"
Xu Han didn't care, took another sip of the teacup next to him, and asked casually with a look of enjoyment: "Why did Lord Nangong say this? Do you think that a rough person like Xu should only know how to dance knives and make guns?"
"Not really. Nangong Jing shook his head, "I'm just thinking that if Gongzi Xu is good at this, he probably won't drink this tea." β
"What does this mean?" Xu Han's face changed, before he came out, he had specially asked Chu Qiuli which of the tea leaves he "came by" was the most valuable, and the other party gave Xu Han this answer without hesitation, Xu Han just brewed this tea to fill the faΓ§ade, and heard that Nangong Jing was here
Words, Xu Han subconsciously thought that Chu Qiu had made a mistake with this guy, and it was shoddy. After all, Chu Qiuli is unreliable, and it is not the first time.
But there is a saying that if you lose, you don't lose the battle, Xu Han still said stubbornly at that time: "Ahem, in fact, this tea, good or bad, expensive and cheap are secondary, and the most important thing is to be suitable for yourself." β
"Really?" Nangong Jing's eyes suddenly lit up with a sly light when she heard this, she looked at Xu Han with interest, and the corners of her mouth also hooked up a smile at that time.
Xu Han probably smelled the smell from the other party's strange expression, but as for this, Xu Han could only nod stubbornly: "Naturally." β
Hearing this, Nangong Jing stood up, she stepped forward to Xu Han, and under Xu Han's surprised gaze, she hooked up and came straight up.
So that extremely beautiful face was less than half an inch away from Xu Han at this time, Xu Han could even see every detail of her face very clearly, but Rao was like this, and Xu Han couldn't find fault with that face - he had to admit that it was indeed a face that tended to be perfect.
Xu Han was stunned, he was not nervous or afraid, but he was suddenly at such a close distance from the other party, which made him a little uncomfortable.
"Lord Nangong, someone Xu can ...... It's not a casual person like you think......" Xu Han said seriously.
Hearing this, Nangong Jing's face flushed slightly, but she quickly recovered, so she glanced at Xu Han at that time, missed the body and picked up the tea cup beside Xu Han, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it slightly. Then she stood up straight and said with a smile: "The smell is fishy, the taste is astringent, the mouth is sweet, the lips and teeth are vibrant, and then look at this shape like a peach blossom, the color is like a spring bamboo, if Nangong Jing is not mistaken, this tea should be known as a famous tea car Fu Ning ......"
"Huh?" Xu Han's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he didn't want things to turn around so quickly, and Xu Han, who realized that he had misunderstood Chu Qiuli, couldn't help but feel a little guilty. But such guilt just rose in his heart, and Nangong Jing's voice remembered it again.
"The preciousness of this tea lies not only in the scarcity of his production, but also in the ......" Nangong Jing paused intentionally when she said this, and then she looked sideways at Xu Han, who was looking up to drink tea, and suddenly smiled: "It has the effect of calming the qi and stabilizing the fetus, and it is something that the wives and concubines of the dignitaries are willing to spend a lot of money to ask for after they are pregnant with Liujia......
"Poof!" Tea spurted out of Xu Han's mouth, and the little guilt for Chu Qiuli that had just been born from the bottom of his heart disappeared at that moment.
Xu Han, who was consciously out of shape, noticed the teasing look from Nangong Jing's eyes, he hurriedly wiped the tea stains on his mouth, and then pretended to sit calmly, and said, "Well, just taste, taste." β
Nangong Jing glanced at Xu someone, who wanted to save face, and surprisingly did not entangle with Xu Han on this topic again, which was the first time for Nangong Jing, who had always liked to find trouble with Xu Han.
She just glanced at Xu Han inexplicably, then sighed and said, "Okay, you don't have to fight with me anymore." β
Xu Han was stunned again, this time it was not that he deliberately pretended to be crazy and stupid, but he didn't react for a while.
Nangong Jing didn't know what to do, she just thought that Xu Han was still going to be with her, she couldn't help but feel a little lost, but her face was still the same light and breezy appearance.
"Tomorrow is the deadline for the three-day period issued by Luo Mo, have you found the murderer?" she asked, looking at Xu Han.
Xu Han shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this, and at that time, he looked at Shangle Nangong Jing, and he said, "Does Lord Nangong think that Luo Mo really cares who the real murderer is?"
Nangong Jing also shook his head: "I understand what you mean, it's just that Xiao Yu, the only immortal in the Sword Holding Pavilion, is still in a coma, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive this catastrophe..." β
Xu Han never thought that he would hear such words from Nangong Jing's mouth, his face changed slightly, and he couldn't help asking, "If I leave, how should the Sword Pavilion explain to Luo Mo?"
"You also said it, Luo Mo doesn't care who is the murderer of his brother at all, all he wants is this reason, whether you are there or not, what the Sword Pavilion needs to face is still to be faced, so why let you stay and fill in one more life?" Nangong Jing said softly, the expression on his face darkened: "I don't care if you are a spy sent by the Great Zhou now, if your goal is achieved, if not, then there is no need for you to sacrifice your life for the Sword Pavilion." You say, right?"
Probably feeling that what the assassin Nangong Jing said was sincere, Xu Han was also a little moved, he looked at Nangong Jing and asked, "Could it be that at this time, Lord Nangong still thinks that Xu is a person with bad intentions?"
Nangong Jing was stunned when she heard this, and then she glanced at Xu Han fiercely, and said, "If I really think so, now you have been separated!"
"Alright, that's all there is to it, let's go quickly. β
Nangong Jing said this, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait. But at that moment, Xu Han's voice suddenly came.
Nangong Jing's departing footsteps paused at that time, and he looked at Xu Han sideways suspiciously, but saw that the young man was looking at her with a smile.
"What if Xu wants to stay?"
"Give me a reason. β
"It's for the trust of Lord Nangong. β
Nangong Jing was stunned when she heard this, she blinked her big flickering eyes, and her cheeks suddenly flashed crimson.
......
Looking at Nangong Jing, who was noncommittal after hearing this, and ran away, Xu Han scratched the back of his head for some reason.
"Young Master Xu is so capable, the seven-line golden robe of the Sword Pavilion is all fascinated by you. And at this moment, a teasing voice suddenly came from behind Xu Han.
Xu Han turned his head to look, but saw that it was the red note.
"Red Paper... When did you come?" Xu Han, who was a little uncomfortable under Ye Hongjian's straight gaze, asked cautiously, lest he offend her in something.
"What do you say? I think you're really obsessed, and you don't want your life for the sake of beauty. Ye Hongjian said angrily.
Xu Han was sluggish, and at this moment, he could hear that Ye Hongjian had obviously heard something wrong with his last conversation with Nangong Jing, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
How can Xu Han be such a selfless person?
He just knew that staying in Henghuang City, although he had to face Luo Mo and even Xie Minyu to do difficult roles, but when he left Henghuang City, he also had to face the pursuit of his master and more enemies who had not yet appeared. Compared with the two, there is not much difference for Xu Han, but staying in Henghuang City, the Sword Pavilion is an organization supported by the Great Xia Imperial Court after all, and there may be a slight turnaround. For Xu Han, making such a choice is just an inevitable choice between two evils.
He was about to explain this to Ye Hongjian.
"Who! Don't run!" But at this moment, Su Mu'an's loud cheers suddenly came from the door of the mansion.
"It's Ah Sheng!" With Xu Han's cultivation, he quickly understood the direction in which the voice came, he was shocked, and he didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly rushed towards that place, Ye Hongjian saw this, and naturally it was impossible to entangle with Xu Han at this time, so he could only put it on hold for the time being, and walked quickly in the direction where the voice came from with Xu Han.
......
When he came to Liu Sheng's door, Su Muan had already fallen to the ground, and the nineteen on the side supported Su Muan, looking quite anxious.
When she saw Xu Han and Ye Hongjian, she hurriedly said: "A figure rushed into that room, and after a while, he ran out, and he wanted to stop him, but he was knocked down by him. β
Xiao Nineteen's descriptive ability was as bad as ever, but Xu Han probably heard the main story. He came to Su Mu'an's side and stretched out his hand to probe the boy's condition.
And Su Muan apologized again and again, saying that he didn't stop the man.
Xu Han quickly made sure that Su Mu'an was fine, he comforted the boy, and walked quickly into the door where Liu Sheng was.
The room is still like that, there is no trace of anyone coming, and Liu Sheng is lying quietly on the bed as always...
Xu Han frowned, he naturally wouldn't suspect that Su Mu'an would lie to him, he glanced at Ye Hongjian on the side, and then went to Liu Sheng's side to check on his situation. But as soon as he took this step, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something on the wooden table beside him.
He stopped and looked at the thing.
That's a book.
To be precise, it's a book whose pages are yellowed because it's so old.
And when Xu Han saw the handwriting on the book clearly, his pupils instantly dilated...
