Chapter 33: Spring dreams without a trace

When Xu Jiaorong came to the tavern, it was already very late, and she was somewhat dissatisfied in her heart, because what she said was to give her a result after half a month, but it was only the fifth day, and Chen Jianqiu had taken the initiative to see her for the third time, and it had just been a day since the last meeting.

However, she knew Chen Jianqiu, and since she had found herself again, there must have been a problem that he couldn't solve, so Xu Jiaorong still rushed over immediately.

After Xu Jiaorong saw Chen Jianqiu, she didn't take the initiative to speak, Chen Jianqiu had already told all his experiences and speculations.

Xu Jiaorong had to be shocked after hearing this. She had expected the water to be deep, but she hadn't expected it to be so deep.

However, the first thing to do as a secretary is to be careful, and Xu Jiaorong was shocked, but he still noticed something unusual.

"You say, Chen Jianqiu's attitude is a little strange?" Xu Jiaorong asked.

Chen Jianqiu was slightly stunned, and then nodded.

Xu Jiaorong didn't ask any more questions, but said, "You told me everything about how you met Chen Jianqiu several times."

Chen Jianqiu has always listened to his mother-in-law's words, and he didn't think much about it, from the first time the two met on the shore of Guijian Lake, to the second meeting in the bookstore, and then to this late night rescue, he said it all.

After listening to this, Xu Jiaorong pondered for a moment and asked, "After this period of contact, what is your impression of Chen Jianqiu?"

This sentence seems to be a mother who cares about her son's lifelong events.

Chen Jianqiu's face turned red for the first time, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Xu Jiaorong did not feel the relief and joy of being a mother, but his face was solemn.

Of course, she was not bothered by the fact that the two had the same surname and ancestry, but she sensed a huge problem.

Xu Jiaorong said slowly, "You just said that when you met for the second time in the bookstore, you smelled a faint fragrance?"

"Yes." Chen Jianqiu nodded and said, "At that time, I ...... I was a little nervous, so I took a deep breath and felt that it was all in my mouth and nose, so I was impressed."

Xu Jiaorong asked, "When you first met, did you have this fragrance?"

Chen Jianqiu was about to answer, but Xu Jiaorong raised his hand to interrupt him: "Don't be in a hurry to answer, think carefully, think carefully, and then talk about it after you think about it."

Hearing Xu Jiaorong say this, Chen Jianqiu also reacted a little, recalled seriously for a moment, and said, "It seems that there are some, but because it is outdoors, the taste is relatively light."

Xu Jiaorong's face was slightly cold: "Are you shocked by this Furui County Lord? Even love at first sight?"

Chen Jianqiu was taken aback and said, "Stepmother...... Y-How do you know?"

"How do I know?" Xu Jiaorong said, "Silly boy, you have fallen into other people's ways."

Chen Jianqiu was stunned and said, "Stepmother, you mean...... Autumn, the county lord, she ......"

Xu Jiaorong said, "Before, I thought she had something to do with the Holy Court, but now it seems that I have lost my eyes, she is not from the Holy Court, but like a member of the Purple Light Society."

"Purple Light Society?" Chen Jianqiu was shocked, "That Purple Light Society, one of the three secret societies?"

Xu Jiaorong said: "The Purple Light Society is used to using this method, and it is not surprising that you have been tricked, back then, one of the real people of our Dao Sect was confused by the Purple Light Society, allowing them to infiltrate the Jade Capital."

For a while, Chen Jianqiu didn't know what to say.

Xu Jiaorong took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and threw it to Chen Jianqiu: "Take the medicine and use it to wake up."

Chen Jianqiu poured out a pale cyan pill from the jade bottle and swallowed it into his stomach.

For a moment, he only felt a chill rushing to the heavenly spirit, the spiritual platform was clear, and the whole person had never been so sober.

The feelings that have been lingering in my heart, the grievances that are absent, and the sorrow of inferiority and self-inferiority have all disappeared.

At this time, Chen Jianqiu recalled his previous state of mind, and only felt like a dream.

The so-called unforgettable, at this time it became extremely distant and very faint, like a faint mist, which could not be seen really, and dispersed as soon as the wind blew.

Spring dreams without a trace.

After the false feelings dissipate, embarrassment and shame come to my heart.

He is a big man, and he is like a teenager who has just fallen in love, and he has started a spring dream. spread it, and he didn't have any face to speak of.

Fortunately, only the stepmother knew about this.

Xu Jiaorong said thoughtfully, "If Chen Jianqiu is really the shadow son of the Purple Light Society, then why did she provoke this matter?"

Chen Jianqiu thought for a moment and said, "Mother-in-law, I have an idea."

"Say." Xu Jiaorong said directly.

Chen Jianqiu said: "As my stepmother said, the Lord of Furui County is the shadow son of the Purple Light Society, so the Purple Light Society has placed the shadow son next to the Lord of the Country, which is nothing more than influencing the Lord of the Country, and then controlling the Lord of the Country. Now the lord of the country has begun to believe in Buddhism for some other reason, or has been tempted, and the Buddha he believes in is not an orthodox Buddhism, which is probably related to the blood-clothed Bodhisattva and the white-clothed Buddha in the tomb murals. From this, it can be concluded that these cult people are plotting a major event to bewitch the lord of the country, which also makes the lord of the country gradually break away from the control of the Purple Light Society, Chen Jianqiu is alone, unable to resist this cult, so he simply directly provokes this matter and uses the hands of the Daomen to destroy the competitors, this is a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf."

Xu Jiaorong slowly looked at his godson, full of encouragement to continue. The reason why she likes this godson is because he does have something extraordinary, which makes her admire it from time to time, so she will hand over this matter to Chen Jianqiu.

Chen Jianqiu was encouraged by his stepmother's gaze, and he spoke more confidently: "The key now is, what kind of role does Chief Chen play in this? I thought about it, the person who has the ability and the conditions to take down the seven eunuchs, Chief Chen is counted as one. Although it is not taboo for people in the Daomen to contact the secret association, but not everyone can contact it, the Zhang family, the Li family, and the Yao family can, and even they are the backstage of some secret associations, but Chief Chen can't, she was born in the royal family of the Dayu Kingdom, and she is already suspicious of the Daomen, and then to contact the secret association, once the matter is revealed, there is no room to turn over, the risk is too great."

Xu Jiaorong also began to think along this line of thought: "Logically speaking, the affairs of the Dayu Kingdom should not be in charge of her, a person from the Dayu royal family, but the lord of the palace trusts her, so she makes an exception. Now it seems that it is very likely to be a "prison guard and self-theft", just under the nose of Sheji Palace, such a big thing happened, people from all walks of life appeared on the stage, sang a big play, and the Taoist government didn't know anything. What's with? It's because someone held up an umbrella and covered all of this, and the Taoist government was condescending, and he could only look at the surface of the umbrella, but he couldn't see the things hidden under the umbrella."

Chen Jianqiu said: "This reminds me of the triple realm, looking at the mountain is a mountain, looking at the mountain is not a mountain, and looking at the mountain is still a mountain. At the beginning, we all felt that Chief Chen had attacked the lord of the country, which was to see whether the mountain was a mountain. As the investigation deepened, we felt that things could not be so simple, Chief Chen would not murder the lord of the country, this is a mountain or not a mountain. Now, things have come back to Chief Chen, whether it depends on the mountain or the mountain."

Although Xu Jiaorong had rich experience, most of her energy was not spent on this matter, and her in-depth understanding of this matter was far inferior to Chen Jianqiu, she simply stopped thinking, but looked at Chen Jianqiu, and asked directly, "What do you think Chief Chen wants to do?"

Chen Jianqiu thought about it seriously and said, "If you want to know what Chief Chen intends to do, you must first know what Chief Chen wants. If Chief Chen is the mastermind behind the scenes, she controls the lord of the country, and then sacrifices seven great eunuchs, the blood-clothed Bodhisattva and the white-clothed Buddha are the revived Gu Immortals, and this move is to invite them to come into the world, then what good is it for Chief Chen? Could it be that she is so mad that she wants to drag the people of the city to die with her? But it still doesn't make sense that there are real people in the city who are in charge."

"I don't want to, we're not roundworms in her stomach, I can't figure it out." Xu Jiaorong made a decision, "Let's go directly to the underground tomb you said, it's better to see than to hear."

Chen Jianqiu said, "I can calculate the approximate direction, but there is a formation isolation there, and the tunnel has also been blown up, how should I get in?"

Xu Jiaorong said: "Then break the formation, this matter, I will report this matter to the master of the mansion, his old man personally took action, and no formation can stop it." The stakes are too high to care about."
