Chapter 382: The Uninvited Guest in the Post House
In the middle of summer, late at night, the heat has not yet dissipated.
When Gao Minglou came back, it was already late at night, but Xin Yi didn't fall asleep, so he asked Xingyuan to make a pot of medicinal tea brought back from the medicine shop, and sat by the open window to drink it slowly.
The tea fragrance is elegant, Gao Minglou glared at the green calyx, and walked over and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Xin Yi looked over calmly, his eyes were black and empty, and he still looked unfocused.
Gao Minglou frowned, waved his hand and motioned for the girl to go down and sit opposite her.
"Why haven't you slept yet?"
Xin Yi stretched out his hand to the cool breeze by the window: "It's hot in the house, I can't sleep." ”
Gao Minglou paused slightly, saw Xin Yi fumbling with his hands to get up to pour him tea, hurriedly stopped, poured a full cup and drank it, his eyebrows moved slightly, he looked at her for a moment with uncertain emotions, and said lightly:
"I've been busy in recent days, ignoring you, and it's hard to stay in the inn every day, if you like to go to the pharmacy, go and walk around with them more."
Xin Yi asked, "Is my brother so relieved of me?" ”
At the beginning, Gao Minglou said that Ayima was his own sister in the Yaoque Palace, and since then Xin Yi has changed his name.
At the beginning, Gao Minglou was not very comfortable, but after listening to it a lot, he got used to it.
"What if you're not at ease? Since you are going to marry Fu Jiuqu, sooner or later you will have to adapt to the life of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Xin Yi pursed his lips and looked out the window with an uncertain expression, "I said that I won't forget my brother's life-saving grace." ”
Outside the window is a small courtyard against the green wall, the area is not large, planted with woody incense, green bamboo and vegetable bananas, the woody fragrance is clustered on the wall, exuding a rich fragrance of flowers, bamboo leaves and plantains swing in the breeze, very quiet.
Gao Minglou was silent for a moment, "Why don't you use me to go out early and return late recently, what are you doing?" ”
Xin Yi smiled slightly, "My brother is a person who does big things, and he has his own things to do, how can I ask?" ”
Gao Minglou smiled in a trance, his black eyes stared at Xin Yi's delicate little face, he didn't know what he was thinking, and the corners of his mouth seemed to hook up a cool arc mockingly.
"Ayima."
"Hmm."
"I'll take you back to Dali."
Xin Yi seemed a little surprised, looked at him fixedly, and smiled lightly, "Why did my brother say that?" ”
"Ayima, you are a smart girl, you should be able to see that I don't like the Song people, and I don't want you to stay in the Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, you know who you are, you are not my own sister......"
"Then what does the young master want to say?"
Gao Minglou looked at her quietly.
"When I finish my business, I'll take you away."
"But ......"
"Dali's national letter is already on the way." Gao Minglou didn't wait for her to ask, so he changed the conversation, "The daughter of the Prime Minister of Dali will marry the king of Guangling County." ”
"I don't understand, since it's a marriage, how can I go back to Dali?"
"You don't have to understand. You just have to remember...... When the time comes, even if I am willing to keep you in Bianjing, Bianjing will not be able to tolerate you. Ayima, you can only follow me. ”
Gao Minglou's tone was flat, and there was a bit of familiarity in his words, but his words were unclear.
It is as if they are not preparing for a marriage event between Dali and the Great Song Dynasty, but preparing to dig a grave in Bianjing and wait for a feast of death.
Xin Yi suddenly asked slowly, "Has my brother heard about Fan Lou's case?" With such a big wine field and so many corpses, how many people have to be killed, think about it, it's really terrifying. ”
She was gossiping like a homely person, and her voice was slurred, but Gao Minglou's brows furrowed again, and her face was a little uglier than just now.
"There are a lot of guards in the inn, you don't have to be afraid of this, go to bed early."
Seeing him get up and leave, Xin Yi deliberately reacted half a beat slowly, touched the table and got up, and saluted him.
"Brother go slowly."
The door closed again.
Xin Yi heard Gao Minglou tell Hongyu and Lucalyx to protect the girl outside, silently glanced at the open window and courtyard wall, and asked Xingyuan to come in and wait for him to wash and sleep.
"When the lights are turned off, you and Taoyu will stay outside, and you can't enter without my greeting."
Xingyuan was stunned for a moment, "Girl......"
"Listen to orders."
"Yes."
The lights in the room were extinguished, and darkness hung over the small courtyard, and in the dim light under the eaves, there were patrolling soldiers. As Gao Minglou said, this post house is very safe, in addition to the envoys from various countries with their own guards and soldiers, the Song Dynasty also has patrols and guards on the periphery, and it is not allowed, and flies can't fly in......
In the middle of the night, the wind was blowing, and the fire flickered in the lanterns.
A dark shadow rolled in through the window, and Xin Yi, who was rushed out of the oblique thorn, hugged him tightly, and his expression froze.
"Why didn't you sleep?"
"Brother Jiu, I've been waiting for you for a long time......"
Fu Jiuqu's mind was hot, he just instinctively closed the window, and then hugged the person in front of him tightly into his arms, bowed his head and pecked lightly.
"Eleven, how did you expect me to come?"
Xin Yi whispered, "Just as you expected me to go to Xin Yi Pharmacy." ”
Fu Jiuqu chuckled, "You're really not a goblin?" ”
"Hmm...... Count it as half a goblin. ”
When he went to Daxiangguo Temple, Xin Yi threw off the red beans and green calyx and went to Xin Yi Medicine Workshop.
As expected, Fu Jiuqu was waiting for her there, and the two of them met in a hurry, and after checking each other's clues and ideas, they quickly said goodbye, and some things were too late to say more.
"Why did you think of giving Cao Yilan a boost? I remember you hated her the most. ”
"That was before." Xin Yi glanced at him, "After all, I have the man she can't ask for, so it should be a kind of compensation." ”
Fu Jiuqu let go of his arm and pinched her face funny.
"Then how do you think that Cai Qi will not push the boat down the river and leave Cao Yilan?"
Xin Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile.
"Aren't you men all like that? Eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, he is only allowed to go out and spend all day drinking, but he is not allowed to have two hearts for his wife, let alone leave him......"
Fu Jiuqu: ......
He thought in his heart, blaming Cai Qi for that bastard, and his comments.
Xin Yi was secretly laughing in his heart.
After going back this time, she found the planning script and carefully studied it several times, and she was sure that the woman Cai Qi liked was Cao Yilan.
Even if the story is variable, and then through the butterfly effect, Cai Qi probably can't get out of the character design, just like Princess Fukang will definitely be infatuated with the eldest man.
The trajectory of the character determines that Cai Qi will not change his mind easily, even if he is tired of marriage and fascinated by beauty, after all, his heart is still on Cao Yilan.
But she didn't explain these things to Fu Jiuqu.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about the progress of Fan Lou's case first? And Zhang Xun's side, what's going on, let's sum up this matter, what should we do......"
Time is pressing, Xin Yi doesn't have time to wind and snow, and he doesn't have time to warm up with Fu Jiuqu, but it is obvious that the king of Guangling is a little dissatisfied with this.
His hands tightened, and before Xin Yi could react, the whole person was upside down, and his mind was spinning, and he was suddenly taken into his arms, tightly restrained, and then fell down in the chair under the windowsill.
"Brother Jiu, you ......"
"Shh
"What to do? Not...... Hate ......"
Fu Jiuqu secretly left the post house at the fourth watch, and Sun Huai answered outside.
Sitting in the carriage, Fu Jiuqu closed his eyes and pretended to rest, Sun Huai didn't know what benefits the master had gained from the little lady this night, and the smile on the corner of his lips was so sweet that he almost got tired of dying.
"Master, have you seen the little lady?"
"Hmm."
"What did the master and the lady say? Such a happy ......"
Fu Jiuqu opened his eyes suddenly, glancing at him like a blade, Sun Huai coughed lightly, and found that he had asked something that he shouldn't ask, so he reached out and slapped it lightly on his cheek.
"The little one has a lot of mouths and tongues, but, master, you feel sorry for the little one, the little one is so curious, so curious that he can't eat or sleep......"
Fu Jiuqu looked at him coldly and snorted, "Ask." ”
Sun Huai smiled, "The little lady said that ginseng is not guilty of killing people, what does it mean?" Bother the ninth master to solve the puzzle for the little one. ”
Fu Jiuqu half-closed his eyes and said lightly: "Because the Fan Lou case involves the eldest princess, those people are dead, and they are dead." He who kills people is not at fault for the people. ”
Sun Huai pondered in his mouth, and realized in a trance.
"Then the Ninth Master said that Huang Lian saved people in vain, what does it mean?"
Fu Jiuqu snorted lightly, "She thinks that this case should be handled by the Imperial City Division, so that the murderers do not go unpunished." I told her that if she solved the case, she would also be disliked by the official family and thankless. ”
"So, the little lady is anxious, so she wants to go to the pharmacy, find you through the people in the pharmacy, and then agree with you on a way? The master went to wait for her in the pharmacy? ”
"Hmm."
Fu Jiuqu smiled lazily, and his eyelids didn't open.
Sun Huai screamed in a low voice: "Hey, master and little lady, it's amazing!" ”
There are two people in the world who have such a tacit understanding, and they can see so many things with just a few words, but he and Duan Sui are different, racking their brains, and they can see that ginseng and Coptis are just two medicinal herbs.
