Chapter 395: Thief Head and Thief Brain
"Do you think that Gong Yiren really intends to make him the third brother...... Will you take over his shift?" Gao Yishui put down the teacup in his hand, didn't go to get a new meat skewer, and said lightly: "Gong Yiren has actually been investigating the assassin's affairs, and I also threw some news to him a few days ago. ”
Qin Ke suddenly raised his head: "Are you trying to ......?"
"Not bad. Gao Yishui said: "I think Gong Yiren must have doubts in his heart, but because of the lack of evidence, and he really dislikes fratricide at home, if Gong Yi really confirms the crime of being the mastermind behind the scenes one day, what do you think he will do?"
But Cai Yan pouted and said: "But the public loser has clearly found that layer, but he has not made a difficulty, nor has he relaxed the imprisonment of the public loser, what is the explanation for this?"
Gao Yishui nodded and said, "This is exactly what I find strange. I am confident that there will be no mistakes in the means of delivering the news, and it is difficult for Gong Yiren to think that someone deliberately sent people under his nose, anyway, he is also investigating, and Shun Teng has found out, which is normal, but he is still lying in bed safely to recuperate, but he is more and more dependent on Gong Zhi, which is only two possibilities...... One, he's trying to get away, and second, he's having no choice. Which one do you think?"
"The first one, of course. Cai Yan said firmly, and added by the way: "It's true that Gong Yiren is sick, but it's only the body that is sick and weak, not the brain." ”
Gao Yishui and Cai Yan glanced at each other, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "What the gentleman sees is slightly the same." ”
The days in winter are always shorter, and when the servants of the public loser lit the lanterns, Qin Ke walked back to the August Cicada Pavilion with a heavy heart.
This pavilion name, which is full of the meaning of late summer and early autumn, has made Yinxue have the idea of wanting to replace it many times, but Yinyu said that she likes it very much, so she has stayed until now without saying a word.
Qin Ke was walking all the way with his head buried in his head, but suddenly he felt as if there was a tall and solid thing blocking the way in front of him, and he suddenly raised his head in a daze.
"This ...... What kind of trouble is this?" Qin Ke reached out in disbelief and poked the "behemoth" in front of him, "Yes...... Snow?"
"You're back?"
Behind the snowman more than a foot high, a light figure turned out, looking at Qin Ke with a smile on his eyebrows.
Qin Ke took two steps back, finally saw the whole picture of the snowman, and couldn't help but admire: "It's so high, you built it alone?"
"Of course not, Fluttershy and Yinyu have helped, now there are only two eyes left, I found two pumpkins, can you install them?"
"Uh, okay. Qin Ke blinked his eyes twice, took the two little golden gourds, and looked up at the snowman's head and face, his legs sank under the shock of qi and blood, and with a muffled sound of the floor tiles, he had already risen into the air, his body twisted half a circle in the air, and both hands pushed and slapped at the same time.
When he landed gently, Gong Yinxue burst out laughing and said, "I thought it would look good with a golden gourd, but I didn't expect it to ......."
"Too, it's too weird, isn't it?" Qin Ke followed her gaze, the snowman in the night was like a giant beast looking at them condescendingly, staring at the golden eyes the size of a gong, which was very terrifying.
"Forget it, so be it. Gong Yinxue smiled for a while, her eyes gradually softened, she looked at Qin Ke sideways carefully, and muttered, "This is good, it's good." ”
Qin Ke touched the back of his head, and he didn't know what kind of dumb riddle she was playing, he hesitated and said, "Let's have dinner early, I'll ...... in the evening." I'm going to get out for a while. ”
"Huh?" Gong Yinxue frowned, and quickly stretched out again, "Okay, let's go in, Yinyu didn't eat roast chicken today, and he is choking his breath." ”
It's just that at the moment of turning around, Gong Yinxue still sighed softly.
During dinner, Gong Yi Yinyu talked about the giant snowman in the courtyard several times, but Gong Yin Xue diverted the topic, Qin Ke thought about the agreement with Cai Yan, and ate absent-mindedly at the meal.
After that, Qin Ke said hello to Gongyi Yinxue, and went out with a lantern.
He looked up and looked around, the sky was cloudless, the moon was bright, and the stars were at their brightest, like jewels shining brightly in the sky, among the stars, there was a big bird that swayed, it soared in the wind, up and down, left and right, although the shadow was single, but leisurely.
And below it, on the high wall, a light veil fluttered slightly in the wind, and a slender figure walked slowly along the ridge of the roof, stepping on the frozen snow at the bottom, like a winter fairy falling with snowflakes.
The bird is not a real bird, it is a kite.
Qin Ke smiled, jumped slightly, one hand had already climbed up to the eaves, and with a little force, he swung his entire body against the wall with two swings, and walked to the side of the figure in a few steps.
"I even climbed on the roof to fly a kite...... Aren't you afraid that the loser will see it?"
"There are a lot of stars today and the wind is good. Cai Yan grinned, "Why did you come so early?"
"Where's Lao Gao, are you ready?" Qin Ke took the kite string from Gong Yinxue's hand, and pulled it lightly skillfully, and the kite flew higher and higher, as if it was side by side with the moon.
"I don't know if he's ready or not, anyway, I already know the place, I'll take you there in a while, now...... There shouldn't have been a shift change yet. Cai Yan put his hands behind his back, looked up at the kite flying high like an eagle, and smiled sweetly.
From Ding'an City all the way to Funiu Mountain, Qin Ke was used to flying kites with Cai Yan.
When he was a child, he also liked kites, his father taught him the craft of weaving kites with bamboo, and later he also made two, one is an eagle but unfortunately the appearance is a little ugly, and the other is a white dove, which is more fine, so he gave it to the master.
It's just that Zhuge Wolong has always sat on the ridge to watch him play, and after he left, the white pigeon never flew up again, and it has been hanging on the wall of the thatched house, as lonely as Zhuge Wolong's thin figure.
"It would be nice if the kite was bigger. Qin Ke said jokingly: "So that we can both sit on the kite and fly." ”
However, his joke made Cai Yan's eyes immediately light up: "Yes, we are a public loser!"
"Huh?" Qin Ke was a little confused.
Cai Yan slapped Qin Ke on the head and said with a smile: "Fool, have you forgotten what the public loser is most famous for?"
Qin Ke was stunned, looked at the kite in the sky, and thought for a moment: "Before...... Have you ever been a big official in Jicheng?"
"It's a trick!" Cai Yan had a look of hatred for iron and steel, "You definitely can't do the big kite you said, but it doesn't mean that the loser can't do it......"
Qin Ke suddenly realized: "That's right, maybe in the future, we can really rely on the public loser to make such a big kite, so can we take it all the way and fly back to Daoxiang Village?"
The corners of Cai Yan's mouth curled slightly: "Daoxiang Village? Oh, it's where you lived, right? Maybe...... You can fly higher and farther. You can fly out of the Mo family, overlook the sea, cross the Great Wall, and go to the far north!"
Qin Ke scratched his head: "Outside the Great Wall, there are only icebergs and thick snow that do not melt all year round, desolate and uninhabited, what's the point?"
"I don't care, I want to go anyway. Cai Yan reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "Okay, it's almost time." ”
"Huh, but the kite ......"
"Don't. As he spoke, Cai Yan snatched the kite string in Qin Ke's hand, threw it casually, and the wooden stick tied to the kite string rotated in the air, and countless kite strings were scattered, like a fine rain curtain.
The big bird in the sky finally disappeared into a vast sea of stars, drifting farther and farther, and Cai Yan looked back at the kite that had gained great freedom, lowered his head and giggled.
Qin Ke jumped down from the high wall, then turned around and raised his hand towards her, saying, "Come down." ”
Cai Yan jumped and fell right into Qin Ke's arms.
Speaking of which, the first time I saw Cai Yan change back into a woman's outfit, she jumped off the high wall and jumped into his arms.
Qin Ke was still slightly stunned, but Cai Yan had already patted the placket of his clothes and pulled Qin Ke to run in the direction of another corridor.
In the evening, there was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the public loser, only some subordinates and the guards would walk around with lanterns, and everyone saw Qin Ke, all of them showed a respectful look, after all, he was able to fight with the public loser, and in that assassination, he fought the assassin in that assassination, and protected the "new uncle" who was thorough in the public loser's house, so even if he ran wantonly in the courtyard of the public loser's house on such a night, no one would come forward to stop him, but they lowered their heads and bowed down.
It's just that seeing Qin Ke and Cai Yan holding hands, talking and laughing all the way, they inevitably felt a little strange in their hearts.
How can this husband who lost Yinxue be so close to a woman from another family? Speaking of which, wasn't this woman brought by Mr. Gao from the third master......
If this reaches the ears of Gong Yi Yinxue, what should she think? What should she think when it reaches the ears of Gong Yinxue?
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but muttered a few more words in their hearts: "This uncle is too ignorant, relying on his martial arts to become a loser, and after only a few days, he became restless......"
They are the subordinates of the public loser, so they will naturally be upset for the public loser Yinxue, and when Qin Ke and Cai Yan's figures disappeared around the corner, several subordinates bent over, glanced at each other, carried lanterns, and left quickly.
Under the leadership of Cai Yan, Qin Ke and her carefully hid in the flowers and plants, but the space here was too small, so the two were naturally next to each other.
Qin Ke smelled the fragrance of orchids from Cai Yan's hair again, and a mischievous moonlight shone through the leaves, shining on her warm neck, as smooth as a jade carving.
However, before Qin Ke could be upset, Cai Yan had already covered his mouth with one hand, and covered his own with the other hand.
Soon, a night patrol team of three people slowly walked out of the corner, Qin Ke could hear their powerful heartbeat and steady pace, the scabbard and armor on their waists collided and rubbed against each other, with a bit of iron and blood.
What is certain is that even if these people are not cultivators, they should be good hands in the army, and at such a late hour, they are still patrolling here, are they searching for something, or are they protecting something?
It wasn't until the three of them slowly walked in front of them and went to another path that Cai Yan removed his hand.
“...... Why are you still salivaing on my hands? Cai Yan looked at her palm, and in the moonlight, her expression showed disgust.
"I ......" Qin Ke's face turned red.
"It's disgusting......" Cai Yan wiped Qin Ke's clothes, frowning.
However, she quickly put her mind back on the situation in the field, although Qin Ke had planned to stand up, but she was still pulled hard, until the second team of heavily armed guards walked by, she breathed a sigh of relief, stood up from the flowers and grass, and whispered: "They have a total of four teams, but I have calculated the interval between their patrols, at least for a quarter of an hour they will not come." ”
She pulled Qin Ke out, and walked towards the deeper courtyard again, while walking extremely slowly, and even subconsciously shrunk her head, Qin Ke also bent down, her eyes scanned both sides vigilantly, and she really looked like two thieves harboring evil intentions.
However, they were originally planning to "steal" things.
