Volume 1 Floating Life Chapter 42 Cinnabar (8)
Jing Tan thought all the way, just now she agreed in a hurry, she seemed to have left the fireworks in the inn...
Entering the inn, the shopkeeper saw her as if he wanted to see a ghost, Jing Tan looked at him in confusion and asked, "Why is this son so scary?" β
"No, no, no, Childe is handsome, it's not good for a villain, and he collided with Childe." As he spoke, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
Jing Tan didn't think much about it, looked around but didn't see the fireworks, and was about to go inside, while saying: "I accidentally left a firework, it's not a valuable thing, if you find it, you will be grateful." β
The shopkeeper suddenly walked around in front of her, as if to stop her, and said with a smile: "Childe is expensive, it's better to wait here, the villain will find the fireworks!" β
"Smack!" The sound of a wine jar being smashed came from the second floor.
Jing Tan raised her head when she heard the sound, and saw that the guest rooms on the second floor were all closed, revealing a little weird, how could no one's guest room be closed?
She looked at the shopkeeper vigilantly, "Didn't you say that no one had stayed in the past two days?" β
He bowed down again and said, "That's the guest who stayed a few days ago, it's a couple, good wine, don't be surprised if you move a lot." β
Jing Tan stared at the movement on the second floor again and asked, "Is it?" I don't know why the doors are closed here, is it full? β
"Thisβ" The shopkeeper didn't know how to answer.
Seeing her flickering words, Jing Tan couldn't help but be suspicious, and went upstairs with three steps and two steps. I listened at the door, but there was no movement inside.
She asked tentatively at the door, "Is this brother okay?" β
No one answered inside, and the shopkeeper said, "Maybe I'm drunk..."
Jing Tan gently pushed the door and found that the door was locked.
She asked again, "Is there anything you need help with?" β
Still silent inside, she turned her head to the shopkeeper and said seriously: "Don't faint, it's important to save people, I don't care about etiquette!" As he spoke, without waiting for the shopkeeper to stop him, he kicked the door open.
The shopkeeper was a man of fear, and when he saw this, he immediately fled.
She stepped in and looked around, the furnishings were simple, the ground was a broken wine jar, behind the bed was a tall cabinet, but no one was seen, she slowly approached the wardrobe, as if she heard someone muffled a burp, was about to open it, suddenly the door closed, a masked man in black jumped down from the beam, took a sheep's horn dagger, came up and attacked her, Jing Tan subconsciously threw out a sleeve arrow, tricks to dodge, Jing Tan is always a fist embroidered leg kung fu, not to mention to pull the man's veil, hand-to-hand combat only two moves to lose, Seeing that the dagger was about to be in her face, she had an idea, took the teapot and threw it at the man, and while the man was dodging, Jingtan hurriedly fled downstairs.
Coincidentally, the firework was hidden under the staircase, and Jing Tan quickly picked it up and aimed it at the man in black who was about to fly down.
Jing Tan said with a relaxed face: "Stop, what I have in my hand is gunpowder, if I let it go, you can naturally escape with good skills, but what about the people hiding in the cabinet?" If you save them, I don't believe you dare to gamble with their lives. "Fortunately, this little firework is not much different from gunpowder, and it can also help her fool.
The man didn't speak, Jing Tan guessed that she was afraid that she would expose herself if she spoke, "Mo Su, don't pretend, why are you so familiar that you are embarrassed not to show your face?" β
Na Leng snorted, but generously removed the veil, and sure enough, it was Mo Su.
Jing Tan continued: "You don't plan to leave today at all, lead all the pursuers out, so that you can send them away safely." β
She said coldly: "The princess has nothing to do with this matter, so why bother getting involved?" β
She asked rhetorically: "I am a person from Yong'an, how can Yong'an's affairs have nothing to do with me?" I persuaded Miss Mo to hand over those two as soon as possible, so that I could pretend that I didn't see you. β
Seeing that she didn't speak, Jing Tan looked at her inquiringly: "By the way, what is your relationship with the national teacher?" β
She laughed and said, "You want to ask, what is my relationship with the mage, right?" β
Jing Tan was stunned, then came back to her senses, frowned, and said, "Mr. Gao Feng Liangjie, how can he have anything to do with you?" β
As she slowly descended the stairs, she said, "Her Royal Highness the princess is really good-hearted, I have lived in the Kek Lok Temple for so long, and I have been opposite to the mage day and night, why do you think that I have nothing to do with the mage?" β
Mo Su saw that she was distracted, her voice became more and more charming, and she said word by word: "Do you think that your gentleman is high-spirited, why don't you think that it may be a superficial phenomenon, or maybe it is another person behind the scenes?" β
"You talk nonsense! How will you be defiled, sir! β
I saw Mo Su's dagger slashing over, Jing Tan came back to her senses, the pain on her arm suddenly spread, and she had already arrived in front of her and snatched the fireworks in her hand.
Only then did Jing Tan react, what she said just now was an illusion to confuse her, Mo Su knew that she respected her husband, so she didn't answer her question and led in another direction, in order to take away the 'gunpowder' in her hand.
Jing Tan endured the pain in his hand and grabbed it, and the two of them fought, and the 'gunpowder' was touched by someone, and it was launched towards the beam, and the beam exploded into a big hole with a "boom".
Jing Tan was a little embarrassed for a while.
The two of them were chaotic below, and the two people hidden in the cabinet upstairs came out scolding, and sure enough, it was Fang Di and Wen Jing.
Wen Jing scolded: "Don't let you drink that want to drink, you don't listen, this time drinking is wrong!" β
Fang Di blushed his neck and said, "It's rare to see the light of day, I'm not happy!" β
Wen Jing said again: "Don't talk nonsense, the horse that Miss Mo prepared for us is in the backyard, let's run away first." β
Fang Di hesitated again: "But Miss Mo helped us like this, do we just ignore her?" β
He scoffed and said, "She's just a dog, and if she dies, she will die, so how can my life matter?" β
As he spoke, he fell down from the wooden window, although Fang Di was worried, but thinking about the importance of escaping, he still followed him to the window, went to the backyard to lead the horse, and walked according to the map given by Mo Su before.
The corners of Mo Su's mouth twitched downstairs: "I didn't expect Mo Su to be scolded by the princess." β
"It's not just about it, it's about catching it!"
Just as Jing Tan was thinking that he might die under Mo Su's knife, Wang Youjun's voice sounded behind him in time. Does this firework come with a teleportation function?
The mermaids under Wang Youjun rushed in, although Mo Su was extraordinary, but the short knife was difficult to defeat the long knife after all, and it was captured to the ground in a short time.
"Why did Brother Youjun come back so soon?"
He sighed: "I followed the words of the shopkeeper, and chased all the way south, but when I got out of the village, I knew that something was wrong, there were many pedestrians on this road, most of them were people on foot, and there was no mark on the ground for horses' hooves to gallop by. β
Jing Tan secretly praised that it was good that he didn't go far, but suddenly he had a bad heart, and hurriedly ran upstairs, while saying, "Oh no! There's still someone upstairs, so don't take advantage of this gap to run! β
Hearing this, the group went upstairs, and the "click" was about to shatter the hundred-year-old staircase.
Jingtan opened the cabinet, a strong smell of wine came from the shop, the person had long since disappeared, turned his head to look at the half-open window, he understood, took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid I really ran away this time.....
The officers and soldiers of the team chased out sensibly at the signal of Wang Youjun.
Wang Youjun looked up to the sky and sighed: "Your father is afraid that he will not be able to hide it, if he is to blame, you will have to plead for me!" β
It is said that the two of them left Huishui Village one after the other, and rode until the end of the map at night. The master in Mo Su's mouth was really waiting there.
Wen Jing recalled that when Mo Su pretended to be a family member and went to look for him in the prison a month ago, he was shocked when he saw the jailer who had fainted, and then Mo Su said to him: "The emperor is absurd, he forcibly put his lover in prison, and the family is prosperous, but he removed you from the family tree, obviously what he did was right, but the sister and brother have been locked up for so many years and cannot survive and die, the difference is that the elder sister is a cage made of gold, and the younger brother is a cage made of iron." β
He listened without saying a word, horrified that the second person would know so many royal secrets. I was worried about my sister again, so I asked without thinking, "How has my sister been doing all these years?" β
Mo Su said lightly: "As in the past." β
"As always...," he repeated, isn't it bad to be the same. Sure enough, the emperor was still so vicious.
"Do you want to get out?" Mo Su asked him.
Think, how can he not want to, but he can't go out, back then, my sister abandoned everything just to save his life, if he went out, what treatment would my sister receive, would she die? With the emperor's character, it will definitely be, it doesn't matter what he suffers in prison, it doesn't matter if he can't get out, it doesn't matter if he is in the family tree, the only thing he is alive now is the sister who raised him since he was a child.
He closed his eyes, afraid that he would be shaken by one more look at the stranger, "I'm okay here." "This is also the truth, although he is removed from the genealogy, but in the end he is a member of the Wen family, and the emperor has never convicted him of a crime, he is still taken care of in prison, at least he is guaranteed in terms of food and clothing, and there will be no suppression of him.
"Let me put it another way, do you want to save your sister?" Mo Su saw his eyes flickering, and then seduced: "I can go into this prison to talk to you, and you should know that I have the ability to save you, but these things are small, but saving your sister is a big thing, I can't do it alone, you have to do it." β
He looked at her fixedly: "Why help me?" You can't do this on your own, who is the person behind you? He firmly believed that there would be no living bodhisattva who would save the suffering and save him.
"My master needs you to help him do things, and this matter will be beneficial to you to save your sister." Seeing that his face was hesitant, she was even more sure that this person would not miss this fragrant cake, so she handed him a letter in her bosom and said, "This is what my master has given you, and he said that you will know what to do when you read the letter." I'll come back next month on the night of the middle of the year. β
Sure enough, he carefully put it away, and when he looked up again, Mo Su was gone.
Looking at the content of the letter again, his pupils gradually dilated, and he couldn't help but sigh that the person who wrote the letter not only knew the royal secrets well, but also knew the secrets inside the courtiers.
