Chapter 86: Boarding the ship and heading south

Tianzi No. 3.

Linghua looked at what was written on the ticket, looked around and found the location of the Tianzi wing. This ship is not big, and it seems that the Tianzifang is a little cramped, but it doesn't matter, there is a place to rest immediately.

She looked for it on the left-hand side, the outermost one was Tianzi No. 5, and then the front was No. 4, and on the right-hand side was the ship's board, and it seemed that No. 3 was the one in front.

The slender fingers touched the door and gently pushed it open, and instead of a neat room, the bare back of a young man came into view.

The young man was changing his clothes, and his underwear seemed to have just been taken off, and he had not yet put it down in his hand. He turned his head in a daze when he heard the voice, and his thin and strong body was clearly seen by Linghua.

"Ah!!h

Linghua couldn't understand why there was such a scene in front of him for a while, and froze in place. The young man's scream startled Linghua's heart, and after reacting for a moment, he hurriedly covered his eyes and escaped from the room.

Heng Gu in the room proudly shook off the underwear in his hand, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook, he got dressed unhurriedly, stood behind the door and hid to secretly observe Linghua's reaction.

Linghua rushed out of the wing, his face crawling with a hot red, standing in the aisle and looking back in the direction of the wing.

That boy is Henggu! What a sin, how can I see his body again! He's still a kid who has just passed his 100th birthday......

Linghua couldn't help but cover her eyes again and shook her head. Forget, forget, forget......

But...... How did Henggu end up here? He was still drinking in Canglan Pavilion this morning.

She put down her hand and recalled that at noon today, An Huai came to Chun Nuan Pavilion with joy and handed her a ticket for Shen Shi's departure.

"Linghua, this is the ticket to Nanxiang that I specially bought from Lord Li's cronies, I heard that Nanxiang has abundant rain, and every household is built on the river, which is very peculiar, you can go and relax slowly and change your mood."

Linghua swallowed the ginseng cake in his mouth, drank tea and rinsed his mouth, and did not take the ferry ticket: "You are already so close to Governor Li who judged Zhang Kaiyuan?"

An Huai said mysteriously perfunctorily: "After all, my news is not something that anyone can replace, and now he still relies on me to help him explore all the secrets."

"To do things for the imperial court, you have to mention the spirit of a million, if you make a mistake, you will be in great trouble." Linghua recalled the court bureaucrats she had seen, the greedy were many, the sincere were difficult, and they were suspicious in their hearts, seeing that everyone was an enemy.

She has been in contact with one or two big people, and she has also seen a lot of small people. And those who are really behind the scenes, never show up easily, they control the chess pieces in their hands, those bought, driven, and fake little chess pieces, some of them have been squeezed and used all their lives, while some have used their own abilities to turn themselves into people who control the chess pieces.

None of them are simple, and none of them are sincere.

She didn't want to deal with these people, and she didn't want An Huai to be controlled and used by these unpredictable people in the imperial court.

And that Governor Li ...... Since she returned to Cloud City, she has never heard of any discussion about the disappearance of Cloud City. Four months later, the incident seems to have been forgotten by everyone, and the streets are still bustling, and no one cares about the whereabouts of the missing people.

Although she had heard of Governor Li's thunderous methods, she didn't even let go of her cousin when she sentenced Zhang Kaiyuan. But after all, they have never met, and the people of the court have the purpose in their hearts that they can guess through with a simple-minded elf.

Is it really suitable for Anhuai to seek skin with the tiger?

"Don't underestimate these people, maybe in your eyes he is just an ordinary person, but people's hearts are more unpredictable than demon hearts, and maybe they will give you the hardest blow when you trust you the most." Linghua was a little apprehensive for some reason, but this feeling was fleeting, and she couldn't grasp it.

An Huai disagreed, and turned the folding fan in his hand: "I have also lived for six hundred years, and these sinister ones naturally understand, how can you give birth to such a mother-in-law, and the eldest sister who sells pancakes on the street is not nagging you."

Linghua choked, she suddenly became angry, but her face was silent, and she brushed the tea leaves in the teacup with the tea lid: "Okay, if I think about you again, I will go to Baiye Forest and dig out your roots."

An Huai couldn't cry or laugh: "You dig up the roots of my tree

Extremely! If you really want to vent your anger, go to the boat, where no one knows you, but do whatever you want."

He handed over the ticket again, Linghua stretched his head and looked at it, and the white paper was written "Beginning: Yuncheng, End: Nanxiang, Shen Shizheng, Tianzi No. 3", and there was the seal of the ship bureau in the lower right corner.

"Take it." An Huai stuffed the ticket into her hand, "Go rest and rest, you will have a different harvest when you come back, you can go back whenever you want, I will help you watch the Chun Nuan Pavilion."

Linghua looked at the ticket in his hand, and then looked at An Huai. I can't say no...... It's okay, after days of running, you should also find time to take a breather.

She replied, "Well, I'll go back in ten days, and I'll be tired of you."

She took two steps to the window, looked at the young man who was drinking alone, and sighed softly, "There is also Henggu...... I don't worry about him, you have to take good care of him these days."

An Huai secretly tapped his head with joy: "Don't worry. Let's talk about "labor", the custody fee is counted in the twenty taels of gold owed to me."

Linghua's eyes widened, and he shoved the ticket into his hand: "Forget it, I'd better stay in Chun Nuan Pavilion."

An Huai hurriedly returned it: "Hey, don't, don't, how wasteful I bought all the tickets, go quickly, I'm joking, I don't want you to pay it back......

The ticket was given by An Huai, and the words were also brought by An Huai, so why was the person who appeared in her room Heng Gu? Pingsu Anhuai and Henggu are not close, only Qin Si has some contacts with Henggu.

Don't......

She hurriedly looked down at the ticket in her hand, which read "Tianzi No. 3" in black and white, could it be that Henggu made a mistake? Still is......

She ran to the deck and held up the ticket to read the words on the face of the autumn sun.

The word "Tian" is a complete writing, and the "word" and "number" are written by the same person, and there is no problem, but the problem is the "three".

Linghua flipped over the ticket and instantly understood everything.

The upper and lower horizontal lines of "three" are written by one person, which is the special ink of the shipyard, and the ink dries quickly and does not stain the back of the paper. The short and horizontal line in the middle of the "three" is darker than the upper and lower lines, and there are obvious marks on the back of the paper, which are obviously written later.

Linghua's wing room is actually Tianzi No. 2.

"Engaging in such a small scheme really tricked me." Linghua put away the ticket and strode towards his room.

When passing by the third room of Tianzi, Henggu stood at the door and looked at her with blank eyes, obviously waiting. He saw Linghua coming over and hurriedly stepped forward: "Linghua."

She stopped, the anger that was trapped in her heart, raised her eyes to look at Heng Guyan and lowered her head: "Is it An Huai's idea? Or yours?"

Heng Gu honestly lowered his head: "We discussed it together."

"Let's discuss?!" Linghua looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, he hadn't seen him for a few hours, he had already changed into a new set of clothes that he had never seen before, his face had been washed raw, and there seemed to be a fragrance on his body.

She took half a step forward, bent down slightly, and sniffed close to Henggu's shoulder, "You rubbed the incense powder?"

Heng Gu lowered his head and stretched out his neck to reveal to Linghua: "Linghua, I also wiped some on my neck, do you smell it, does it smell good?"

Linghua's face suddenly became gloomy, how could the man still know about the incense powder? She never used this thing herself, how did Henggu know? It is still applied to such a sensitive place on the neck.

She took two steps back and looked away: "It doesn't smell good."

"Huh? Does it smell bad? I think it smells good." Henggu raised his hand and sniffed his arm, "He said it was fragrant, you will like it."

Linghua's face stretched longer, and he glanced back at Heng Gu, "She?"

"That's right!" Henggu solemnly took out a delicate silver box from his arms, the side of the box was carved with the pattern of spring swallow flowers, and the lid of the box was inlaid with four jewels.

He was a little nervous, and handed the silver box to Linghua with both hands: "Give it to you."

When Linghua saw this silver box, he suddenly remembered that in Jieping Town, Henggu had taken the fake death medicine for a long time and did not wake up, and the rouge box that fell from his clothes when taking a medicinal bath was not the same as the current silver box

is one. Rouge, aren't you going to give it to her?

She thought of Henggu's kindness to her, and knew that she couldn't treat him like this, obviously the person who hurt him was herself, but now she wanted Henggu to coax herself, which was a bit too much.

Linghua took the silver box in Henggu's hand: "Thank you, I will use it."

Heng Gu was very happy to see her accept the incense powder, he laughed and happily circled around Linghua: "It seems that he is right, you really like this!"

"She?" Linghua couldn't help but grab Henggu's ear, "You've been talking about this 'her' since just now, who have you been going to see in the past five days?"

Heng Gu was pulled by Linghua, tilted his head and closed his eyes, leaned on her shoulder, and leaned on her shoulder: "It's him, you also know this person."

Linghua raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, looking at the fragrant and soft young man who was leaning on his shoulder, and suddenly felt a little uneasy. She coughed dryly and returned to seriousness, "I don't remember knowing a woman who is alive."

Heng Gu was taken aback by this sentence and said with a smile, "Who said it was a woman? This incense powder was given to me by Qin Si."

Linghua froze in place and let out an embarrassed "ah".

How so?

She has always been calm, and she will not be rash, how can she forget to think when she meets Henggu at this moment, and do things based on her own assumptions?

Henggu had never seen her react like this, and he felt even more amused, so he held back a smile and leaned over: "If you want to find a woman who likes to use in the future, I can also get to know a few."

Linghua saw that he had a bad smile on his face, so he decisively slapped his head on the door, walked to Tianzi No. 2 without saying a word, pushed open the door and flashed in, and quickly turned around to close the door.

Heng Gu's eyes were quick, and he blocked the door with his arm, and he stuck his face in the crack of the door: "Linghua, I know that I forced you too hard, I won't be like this in the future, we still get along like before, okay?"

Linghua looked at Henggu again, it seemed that he had learned a lot from Qin Si, and now he had learned to retreat and advance, and wanted to rebuild the old friendship with her.

"yes, okay." Linghua controlled his expression, pushed his arm out seemingly without any waves, and quickly closed the door.

Henggu withdrew his arm, stood at the door and glanced at it reluctantly, and then went back to his room.

He recalled Qin Si's words-

"I also told you what happened to Linghua before, she has been hiding all these years, and she has no stable life, maybe she has already sealed her heart and locked her love, and she doesn't expect to have a relationship.

Therefore, if you want to catch up with Linghua, you must not only warm her heart, but more importantly, let her have a sense of security to be protected, so that she needs you all the time in her life."

"So what should I do?" Heng Gu looked at Qin Si with an innocent expression.

"First of all, you don't want to persecute her, but to disintegrate her little by little~ The first step to do is to gently stalk."

Heng Gu nodded as if he didn't understand, "I seem to understand something."

At this moment, he looked at the room next to him: "Linghua, I will definitely become stronger and protect you well."
