Chapter 12: The Secret Conversation of the King's Court
Speechless all the way, Lu Xia followed Jun Qingbai to turn left and right, and finally came to a very extravagant private room.
Unlike other private rooms with a strong rouge atmosphere, bamboo is deliberately used as the main material.
The doors, windows, and wooden railings are carved with the pattern of the four treasures of the study.
Lu Xia thought that the person who met her would definitely pick a rouge room when she chose such a place to find flowers and willows.
To tell the truth, that kind of room Lu Xia felt that it was not a place to talk about business at all.
This Junge young man also seems to understand this reason, so he deliberately chose this elegant and quiet partial room.
But even so, this is still a green building.
I don't know who started it first, but what Qinglou discussion is to hide people's eyes.
It is so that now the rivers and lakes often use the 'Qinglou Meeting' to cover up the truth of their attempt to find Rouge Huaixiang.
Of course, Lu Xia didn't come here this time because he wanted to do anything, he really came here when he was really ready to discuss things
Stepping into the door, the first thing that caught Lu Xia's eyes was not high-end furniture, nor the mellow smell of tea.
The first thing that catches your eye is a beautiful woman sitting on a small table in the room.
The woman held the lute in her arms and played with her fingers. The pipa has an ancient tune that matches the elegance of this place.
As if noticing that Lu Xia was staring straight at her side, the beautiful woman lowered her head embarrassedly and whispered
"The little woman only sells her art, not her body. ”
"Hahaha, Sister Qingluan, don't worry, Brother Lu is notoriously cold, I guess I won't make a move on you."
Jun Qingbai said and sat down on the tea table where the utensils had already been set up and teased
"How else can you have such a good face without mercy by your side?"
From the beginning of the meeting, this disciple of the Jun Pavilion Protector, Jun Qingbai. He just kept smiling faintly.
I don't know if it's because I've experienced too much or if I've been born like this, I can faintly see the white threads in his black hair.
Speaking of which, if you don't lick blood from the knife all year round, how can you be famous in the rivers and lakes?
Lu Xia couldn't help but feel ashamed when she thought of this, and recalled that her previous trip down the mountain was a story for him a few years ago.
Over the years, because of retreat and cultivation, Lu Xia has never left Jiucang for a single step.
When Lu Xia was also seated, Oiran Qingluan suddenly changed the tune, from an elegant minor key to a very ethereal and distant tune.
This transposition alone made the chaotic thoughts in the minds of the two people present suddenly disappear.
Seeing Lu Xia's slightly praising eyes looking at the stunning beauty, Jun Qingbai smiled
"Sister Qingluan is one of the number one Oiran in the famous Zhongzhou, and naturally she has a lot of talents that can be used, and among these talents, the pipa song is a must,"
"Let's not mention these first, come, I'll toast Brother Lu with tea instead of wine" Jun Qingbai raised his glass while saying it, if he didn't know that the two of them only had tea in their cups, they would really make people mistakenly think that they were full of high-grade Qiongniang.
"Don't dare to be, I heard the name of Brother Jun as early as Jiucang, and this time I saw that it was really extraordinary, well......"
Lu Xia rarely said such a long series of words to outsiders, if this Baili Zhi heard it, he was afraid that his jaw would fall to the ground.
No matter what strange things happened along the way, this paralyzed monster could only pop out of his mouth with a few pitiful words.
At the end of Lu Xia's words, her eyes once again drifted to the beautiful woman playing the pipa on the side, and this time there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
Capturing this look, Jun Qingbai shook his head slightly
"Although Sister Qingluan is a woman in the Qinglou, she is also a person from our Jun Pavilion, you and I discuss matters but it doesn't hurt to say"
"Eyeliner?"
"Doesn't Jiucang also have a cobweb node in Zhongzhou? ”
Lu Xia's short two words revealed the identity of Qingluan Oiran.
Jun Qingbai didn't care about this at all.
After all, compared with Jun Ge's poor eyeliner, Jiucang has so many ears and eyes that it is not an exaggeration to say that the world is pervasive.
The two drank tea slowly, and an inexplicable embarrassing atmosphere appeared around the tea table.
It seems that no one is prepared to be the first to reveal information to the other party.
Qingluan Oiran on the side saw it in his eyes, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
Said secretly: "Two big men do things twistingly. ”
This sentence was not loud, but it still clearly entered the ears of the two people who drank tea, and their expressions suddenly became more embarrassed.
The first to speak to show sincerity was Jun Qingbai, who rubbed his chin vigorously, gloomy
"Half a month ago, the salt of the ancient Daoist of Zhongzhou was stolen again, counting this time it has been four times, but I didn't expect all of you in Jiucang to be so concerned about this matter. ”
"Jiucang investigates, and the vested interests are the Lu family at most. ”
Light tone light tea, Lu Xia answered with a solemn expression.
Indeed, all the spearheads are pointed at the Lu family, who has a monstrous authority behind the scenes of Zhongzhou.
The Lu Chamber of Commerce is doing some normal business on the surface, and there are countless things to do behind the scenes.
Even Jiucang's intelligence network was wasted and it took a lot of effort to get this information about their family.
This Lu family is the former leader of Lu Shuyi's family, but he didn't expect to have an intersection with the Lu family so soon, Lu Xia couldn't help frowning.
Obviously, I felt a little scared.
After saying it succinctly, Jun Qingbai's eyes dimmed slightly, and he took out the blood-stained rag from his arms.
The moment the rag was exposed to the air, a demonic power spread throughout the room.
Lu Xia, who sensed the demonic power, suddenly showed a look of astonishment, regardless of whether he came back to his senses or not, Jun Qingbai said to himself
"This was found from the body of the victim, presumably the clothes that had fallen from the robber's body, and you could also feel that there was a lot of demonic power on it, and it was clear that the prisoner was a monster. ”
"The monster may have been hired by the Lu family"
Lu Xia immediately retorted after a short hesitation, but Jun Qingbai was not in a hurry to argue with him, but slowly withdrew the strip of cloth into his cuff.
"Although it is a bit arrogant to say this, I still have to advise everyone in Jiucang, since you are ready to intervene in this matter, then please don't make a casual move on the Lu family without conclusive evidence."
In fact, Bailizhi didn't know that Jun Ge sent someone to secretly send an invitation to Lu Xia and the others before they settled in Jade City.
It seems that the fundamental meaning is to warn Jiucang and persuade him not to mess around.
It was also because of this sentence that a piece of information that was not very sure of Jiu Cang was confirmed, and the Lu family and Jun Pavilion seemed to have an inseparable connection.
Gently drinking tea, Lu Xia suddenly got up, and said with sharp eyes, "Jiucang has its own plans." ”
Lu Xia is not the kind of indecisive person, obviously the other party's purpose is to warn Jiucang, so there is no need to stay longer after knowing the other party's attitude.
Jun Qingbai naturally knew that the dignified Jiucang would not change his mind because of their words.
Even so, the purpose of the Jun Pavilion has been achieved.
If the Junge, which is rooted in Zhongzhou, handles a case that cannot be solved for so long, it will be broken as soon as Jiucang takes over.
Where else can that face be placed, can't it become the laughing stock of the whole world?
Relying on just a few cups of tea to hold Jiucang can be dragged down, it can be said that there is nothing more cost-effective than this.
The more decent the sect, the more they cherish their feathers, like Jiucang, a sect that is so decent that it can no longer be decent, even if there is still suspicion that they will not make a move.
Thinking like this, Jun Qingbai's eyes couldn't help but be slightly soothed, but Lu Xia's next sentence gave Jun Qingbai a slap in the face.
"Are you underestimating Jiucang?"
Tea is still warm, but negotiations are gradually falling apart.
Just as Lu Xia was about to leave, Jun Qingbai took out something out of nowhere and threw it straight behind Lu Xia's back
Lu Xia reacted quickly, stretched out her two fingers to accurately clamp the flying object, and at the same time, Jun Qingbai's voice came slowly
"Jiucang is really a group of people with lofty spirits, give!"
Before Jun Qingbai's words landed, he saw a hint of warmth in Lu Xia's eyes.
What was thrown out was nothing else, but a ball of cat-shaped wool felt that I don't know who had skillfully poked it in.
"Lu Shaoxia, don't you know, this meeting was not originally in charge of Brother Qingbai, but when he heard that Jiucang assigned you, he pushed off all the tasks in his hand and tried his best to come and meet you. ”
As he spoke, the sound of the pipa playing in Qingluan Oiran's hand gradually slowed down, and finally gradually stopped, and said with a smile
"The disciples in the pavilion can't believe it, Jun Qingbai has worked so hard to see you, and this little gift is also poked by himself a little bit, if he wants to say in person that he admires you who are two years younger than himself, it will be really embarrassing for him."
"Qingluan! you ......"
Jun Qingbai's face was flushed with shame, and Lu Xia couldn't help but tilt her head in confusion after hearing this.
He didn't remember what he had to do with this famous brother.
Instantly saw that Lu Xia had forgotten about herself, Jun Qingbai couldn't help but look sad, opened her mouth but couldn't say a word like a fish in her throat.
Lu Xia took a closer look at the cat-shaped wool felt that was poked very carefully, but it was really not very good-looking, and smiled and hugged her fist
"Thank you, brother, I like it very much......"
Laughed!
Lu Xia smiled.
This laughing Jun Qingbai didn't react, but Qingluan's expression was in a trance.
The beauty smiled and captivated the country,
Why not when Junjie smiles?
At the moment when Lu Xia's figure completely left the room, Jun Qingbai coughed embarrassedly.
Qingluan's trance-like expression was forcibly withdrawn by Jun Qingbai's cough.
As if he was curious, the long-haired Qingluan Oiran blinked her soft eyes, and asked Jun Qingbai in a charming and bewitching voice
"Such a good-looking young man, no wonder he bent you"
"I'll repeat it again! I'm really not as good as Long Yang! I like women! It's just that I have some intersection with Brother Lu Xia......
"Seeing that you worked hard every day some time ago to study wool felt technology? I thought you had a little jasper that you liked? It turned out to be a man. ”
didn't listen to her own defense, Sister Qingluan, who was 25 years old and one year old, still teased.
Jun Qingbai couldn't help but be embarrassed by this.
He is indeed not a man with a broken sleeve fetish.
The reason why he admires Lu Xia, a younger brother who is two years younger than him, is because of four years ago.
At that time, Jun Qingbai was just an ordinary disciple at the level of a great achievement, and he was almost slaughtered by gangsters in Luzhou.
If there was no rescue from this little brother Lu Xia, who was only 18 years old and entered the quenching and permeability level, there would be no future for him, which is all over the world.
That night, the young man who was dressed in a thunder robe made Jun Qingbai send out thoughts that would accompany him all his life
(Big Hero, When So)
Lu Xia turned around, I don't know how long it took, and finally found the stairs downstairs.
Originally, after he left the private room, he was going to find a random waiter to bring him to this dusty place.
But surprisingly, the maid who was supposed to be standing every other moment couldn't even see the figure at this time.
Not only that, but the big teapots that were busy are nowhere to be found.
Going down the stairs, I finally saw the group of waiters gathered at the door of the hall.
Everyone looked into the distance, as if there was some strange thing outside the door that had not been encountered in a hundred years.
The crowd not only watched the excitement, but also muttered something sparsely.
Such a scene couldn't help but make Lu Xia feel better
Hurry downstairs when pushing open the door before everyone else.
The moment the scenery outside the door met Lu Xia's eyes, the handsome young man was suddenly stunned.
Outside the Wuchun Building, on the stone arch bridge across the river, a mediocre-looking young man was holding alof, the eldest son of the Lu family that Lu Xia saw when she went upstairs before.
subsequently
His arms were forced, his nose was blue, his face was swollen, and he was thrown under the bridge by the whole person.
If you look closely, you can see that the river is rolling under the bridge, and it is crowded with people.
Not only did there be a son, but even those house slaves were thrown into the water by the whole person without exception.
In the middle of the river, the men are so embarrassed that they have completely lost the chic spirit of the sons and daughters of the family.
The chickens in the soup scolded the young people on the bridge.
The young man seemed to be tired of listening, and glared viciously at the bridge.
This stare instantly made the noisy screaming and scolding under the bridge wilt a lot.
The young man turned his head, and his eyes intersected with Lu Xia at the door of Wuchun Building
"Senior brother, this, it's over so soon!?"
Isn't that young man Bailizhi?
He looked at Lu Xia with a regretful expression, and his eyes were full of the look of a terminally ill person.
"Isn't it a bit ...... to visit the Qinglou so quickly?"
Lu Xia didn't hear Bailizhi's words at all, because he was almost shocked by what Bailizhi had done, and he was petrified on the spot.
At the same time, those who were shocked and petrified in place, except for Lu Xia, there was one,
That is the girl with a fiery figure next to Bailizhi - the Son of Heaven.
The reason why it became like this is a moment ago.
