Chapter 135: Midnight Talk
About an hour later, the inn, which consisted of only a few people, fell silent.
Shangguan Li didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night, mainly in this unfamiliar place, and there was no arrangement of her own, so her heart was not so big, and she fell asleep as soon as she turned her head.
And as long as she adjusts a little, it's okay not to sleep all night.
So she simply didn't stay in the room at all, and slipped to the roof of the house in the night.
The view was so wide that she could notice anything as soon as it happened, but it was a bit boring to sit there, so she went to the kitchen and ordered a large bag of pastries and tea.
But as soon as she hit the roof, she began to regret it.
How can there be a place grabbing here?
Glancing at the man standing silently on the ridge of the roof, she turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped as soon as she took a step.
"Why does the star girl run away when she sees the night?"
This sentence inexplicably poked Shangguan Li's desire to win, too, she didn't do anything wrong, why did she look like she was afraid of Xuanyuan Ye.
Thinking like this, she turned around with her big bag and small bag again, and then sat down on the ridge of the roof.
"General, there's no one else here, you don't have to call me that."
Xuanyuan Ye still wore that mask on his face, and when he saw her sit down, he followed her up.
"I like to call it that."
Shangguan Li tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"The general has a unique hobby, I can't understand it."
Xuanyuan sat a little closer, so close that Shangguan Li could feel the cold air on his body, and he didn't know how long this person had been standing here.
She took out a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite of it.
Xuanyuan Ye watched her finish a whole pot of osmanthus cake before she spoke leisurely.
"How does the county lord know that Tianquan is my person?"
There was a hint of truth in his voice.
Shangguan Li glanced at him when he heard this, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was unclear.
"What, the general has changed his name now?"
"Not really."
He got back to business.
"It's just that the night thinks that if you call it like this, it's more likely that the county lord told me."
It's really undisguised for his purpose.
Shangguan Li's teeth.
The night breeze blew, and Shangguan Li's clothes were a little thin, as for Xuanyuan Ye, it was still the clothes that had been scratched several times, and the two of them sat on the roof together, looking a little pitiful from a distance.
The moon hadn't sunk yet, and though it was just a faint crescent, the moonlight was bright enough.
It was so bright that Shangguan Li could clearly see the fog fluttering under Xuanyuan's eyes.
After a while, she said lightly with a bite of plum-flavored shortbread.
"I don't think anyone like you would pin all their hopes of procrastination on me."
This seemed to be a little cold, but Xuanyuan Ye did not refute it.
Shangguan Li continued.
"On this premise, I'm sure you must have your own arrangement. So Quan Yi, oh Tianquan, even if the disguise is seamless, there are still traces to follow. ”
"For example?"
Xuanyuan Ye tilted his head sideways, looking at her who had already taken off her makeup, and her face with black poisonous spots looked very serious.
Shangguan Li was thundered by his eyes, shook his hand stained with crumbs, and then continued.
"For example, every question he asked was enough for me to answer for a long time, for example, every time that Wu Ying wanted to do it directly, he persuaded him."
Her voice was very light, and it had a refreshing taste in the evening breeze.
"Another example...... With your arrangement, it is impossible to let such a big living person slip away easily, but you didn't mention his existence to Master Gao in the first place, except that he is your person, I can't think of any other explanation. ”
Xuanyuan listened carefully for a long time, and suddenly smiled at the end.
"Looks like Miss Star believes me."
"You're wrong, I only trust myself."
This person is also thick-skinned enough, and in this case, he has to turn around and praise himself.
Shangguan Li picked up the teapot and took a big sip with his head raised from the mouth of the teapot.
The tea was already cold, and the fragrance of the tea was long gone, but she didn't care about it just to moisten her throat and continue eating.
However, Xuanyuan Ye's eyes flashed when he looked at her, and there seemed to be a little wonderful wave in his eyes.
But unfortunately, Shangguan Li didn't see it.
What she was thinking about now was that since tonight's affairs were all Xuanyuan Night's bureau, in order to let Lord Gao, that is, borrow the hand of the imperial court to catch these people from the Feisha Camp.
What is the purpose?
and the matter of the black households in the capital that he and Lord Gao talked about, it seems that there is a big problem at the border pass.
But since he is a well-trained soldier on the battlefield, he can't come all the way to the capital for sightseeing, he must have some kind of purpose.
In this case, as long as their purpose is not to make trouble for the Criminal Department and the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, they will definitely remain secretive.
How can you listen to Xuanyuan Ye's words, these people's activities are very high-profile?
In the end, those people who came were too amateurs, or the people from the Criminal Department were too powerful. Or, Xuanyuan Ye is fueling the flames.
"Star Girl is in a daze again."
Xuanyuan Ye's cold voice pulled her thoughts back, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw Xuanyuan Ye staring at her with a smile in his eyes, and said gently.
"I said the night, what do you want to know, just ask me, and I'll tell you."
Shangguan Li raised his eyebrows.
"Seriously?"
Xuanyuan smiled and did not speak.
Seeing him like this, Shangguan Li stopped pretending to be polite and asked bluntly.
"What did you bring the people from the Flying Sand Camp for?"
"In order to catch all the people behind them."
After Xuanyuan Ye said this, he finally stopped staring at her face and raised his chin slightly, revealing the sharp angle of his jaw under the mask.
"Da Zhou has not experienced war for a long time, so some people are living comfortably, and they are thinking about how to get more oil and water for themselves."
Shangguan Li had learned to extract the key information from his obscure way of speaking, she frowned when she heard this.
"You mean, someone embezzled the army's supplies?"
"That's right. And there are a lot of people involved, except for the north, there are such people in the other two realms, stretching from the frontier to the capital, thousands of miles of smooth roads, all for interests. ”
Xuanyuan Ye paused as he spoke, and there was more coldness in his voice.
"Have you ever seen a spider build a web, the powerful people in the capital are spiders, and those people on the border are spiders. I think it's seamless, but I'm just a clown. ”
What he said was light and light, but Shangguan Li was keenly aware of how big a puddle of muddy water was under these words, this is a matter that implicates the whole country, is it really as simple as he said?
In other words, if such a big credit falls on Xuanyuan Ye, what can he get?
Shangguan Li asked again.
"Is the stuff in the hairpin just your bait?"
Xuanyuan Ye shook his head and said softly.
"What's in there is real, does the county lord want to know what it is?"
