Chapter 103: The Old Man
The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and the face in front of him was the little lady he saw on the west side of Mingyue Lake when he was in Shangyuan.
Only then, when he saw her, the little lady had just subdued a ghost thing and stopped her own sword to punish ghosts, looking like a mystery.
Now, she's a monster.
It can be seen that she is very clever in concealment, if it weren't for the close contact with her today, touching her neck is wrong, and concentrating to perceive the qi on her body, I am afraid that I will not be able to detect it even if I look at her face.
When he heard He Lingjiang blurt out the "It's you", he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
"You know me?"
He Lingjiang paused, and then smiled: "The stupid bird flies first...... We've met face-to-face, don't you recognize me? ”
The man's eyes deepened: "I know you because you were not a mask at that time." But I've always worn the mask of the beast, and when have you seen my true face? ”
The face in front of him, with a steep nose bridge and sword eyebrows, can be described as handsome and outstanding.
obviously still has a somewhat youthful face, but he shows a look that does not match his age.
Those extremely deep eyes, under the reflection of pearl light, revealed a faint light, like a deep pool, light and cold, quiet and cool, more and more unpredictable.
It's hard to deceive.
He Lingjiang said secretly.
Her eyebrows bent slightly, and she raised a smile: "Although you are wearing a mask, the sword on your back has not changed. The cave was dim before, and I didn't notice it, but I didn't see it, and then I suddenly remembered. ”
"No wonder, I just think your sword qi is so familiar."
At such an age, if you cultivate a sword to break through the momentum of ten thousand laws, there will be only one person in the world.
Zhenbei Wang Shizi, Pei You, Pei Ziyuan!
Although she felt that the sword qi was somewhat familiar before, she didn't think much about it.
Unexpectedly, the person in front of him is an old man!
It's just that at the moment, the old man is staring at her closely, looking like he obviously doesn't believe her words.
After all, when she blurted out those words, she could see his face, and she didn't look sideways at him to withdraw the long sword behind his back.
"Lying." Pei You stared at him and spoke.
His posture is about to be understood, but it is rare to have a bit of a young man's appearance.
Pei You, the son of the king of Zhenbei, is only eighteen years old this year, and he has not yet reached the crown.
It's just that this kid is still as bad as ever to deceive.
He Lingjiang shrugged slightly: "Okay, I did see you, Pei Shizi." ”
Pei You's eyes suddenly sharpened, and just as he wanted to raise his hand, he was held down by He Lingjiang: "Say you won't do it." ”
"How do you know me?" Thinking of the previous agreement, Pei You restrained the breath on his body.
He Lingjiang blinked her eyes, and the glowing pearl light reflected her eyes: "If I say that in the north, I have seen the demeanor of the prince by chance, can you believe it?" ”
Pei You lifted his lips and coldly spit out two words: "I don't believe it." ”
"If you don't believe it, forget it." He Ling Jiang lowered his eyelashes.
Anyway, she was telling the truth, and she didn't lie to him this time.
Pei You snorted coldly, but this person didn't have any meaning to explain.
He knew that he couldn't ask anything at this time, so he had to put this question aside for the time being: "Don't mention this matter for the time being." It's just that you are very human, and you sneaked into this mine quietly, what are your intentions? ”
He Lingjiang had no intention of hiding it from him: "I received news that someone was mining copper ore here, so I came to investigate. ”
She took a picture of the pearl in her hand to the mine pile next to her: "It's just that at this time, it seems that this place is not copper ore, but iron ore......"
"What about the son? What are you going to do when you come from the north to this small mine under the rule of Linchuan? He Lingjiang looked sideways at him.
Pei You didn't want to answer, looking at her gaze, for some reason, the words that he was about to swallow came out of his mouth: "I'm here to investigate the case of illegal sale of ironware." ”
"Selling ironware?" He Lingjiang frowned.
Only then did he react, what he had just said, and his face suddenly sank.
"Don't always keep a calm face, like an old man." He Lingjiang took the pearl and shook it in front of him.
Pei You's eyes were dazzled by the pearl light, and when he heard this, his face couldn't help but ease a little.
"You and I are now half acquaintances, since you have traced this place from the north, come to think of it, my case of private mining of copper materials and your case of illegal sale of iron tools are inseparable from the current wave of people." He Ling Jiang said.
She knew the vigilance in Pei You's heart, and said: "Since you and I have to investigate this wave of people, we should temporarily abandon the misunderstanding of Fang Cai and work together, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort." If you are wary of each other, it will interfere with the progress of your own exploration. ”
Pei You wrinkled his eyebrows slightly: "It's not for you to meddle in this matter." ”
The group of people who sold iron tools privately had already crossed the northern border and smuggled iron tools into the hands of the Beidi people.
This is no longer an ordinary case of smuggling iron weapons, but also a suspicion of treason with the enemy.
Ordinary people, it's better not to meddle rashly.
He Lingjiang raised his index finger and shook it slightly in front of him: "The prince came to the north and brought a few people?" ”
"Enough." Pei You said coldly.
"How long did it take to find the mine?" He Lingjiang asked again.
Pei You frowned: "More than two months." ”
He Lingjiang sighed: "It's too slow." ”
Pei You glanced at her, she was afraid that she didn't know how far the northern border was from here, right?
After he received the news, he set out from the north, Shangyuan to Linchuan, and then explored all the way to this point, which was not slow.
"Does the prince know how many days it took me to find out here?"
"How many days?"
He Ling Jiang smiled and raised two fingers: "Two days." ”
"You see, that's the benefit of the locals, isn't it?" She seemed a little proud, "The prince is from the north, and it will take more than a month to hurry all the way." No matter how capable his subordinates are, it will take more than a month to find out the news in this remote place. ”
"And I'll only have a few days." He Lingjiang looked at him sideways, "Why don't you cooperate with me?" ”
"Now that I've found out here, it's not far from finding out who is behind it." Pei Yu refused her offer unmoved.
"Is there anyone who doubts in the heart of the world?"
Pei You's eyes condensed slightly: "Do you have it?" ”
He Lingjiang nodded affirmatively.
"Who is it?" Pei You's eyes sank.
"I can't say that." He Lingjiang shook his head, "After all, the prince doesn't want to cooperate with me. Even so, let's check each other. ”
The corners of Pei You's forehead jumped slightly, and he took a deep breath: "If you really have news and promise not to leak this matter to others, it's not impossible for us to join forces." ”
He Lingjiang looked at him funny: "Pei Shizi should not be so reluctant, after all, there is no shortage of people in my place." It's just that I think I'm half an acquaintance with the son, and I want to help the prince by the way. ”
"Not reluctantly." Pei You pulled out a smile, and then bowed slightly and gave a cross hand salute, "If this lady has news, I hope to help me, I'm grateful." ”
He Lingjiang stretched out his hand to support his arm, with a smile in his eyes: "Pei Shizi is really polite." Since the prince earnestly asks me for help...... I would be respectful and obey. ”
After that, she paused again and asked suspiciously: "I just don't know, the prince still wants to exorcise ghosts and punish evil spirits?" After all, I'm not alive, I'm half a ghost. ”
"How?" Pei Youqiang smiled to himself. "The lady has said it, you and I are acquaintances."
"Although I don't know how the lady became the current situation, but after a few contacts, I also know that the lady is not a wicked person."
"The case of private sale of ironware is more likely to endanger the stability of the frontier, and the lady is willing to help at this time, which shows the kindness in her heart. In that case, I will be indiscriminate. ”
He Lingjiang looked at him and smiled, but he was really reluctant: "Shizi, don't force a smile, you really don't look good like this." ”
Pei You couldn't help but stiffen, she was really good at talking.
