Hongzhou Mine.

The hostess's inn.

Liu Ruiying was in the room with Yuedi.

"What's the matter with you looking for me so late?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

Just now he was about to rest, but Yuedi handed a note from the crack in the door and asked Liu Ruiying to go to her room.

"I'm fine, I just think you're okay. ”

Yuedi said.

"I—what's the matter with me?"

Liu Ruiying asked very differently.

He didn't really feel anything out of the ordinary.

But from getting along with each other for so long, he knows that the moon flute will not be untargeted, let alone alarmist.

Every word she says must have a reason.

"What have you been thinking about the last few days?"

Yuedi asked.

In recent days, it has been a rare calm.

There was neither strife nor fatigue.

It's just that under this calm, what is brewing makes him a little uneasy.

Liu Ruiying felt that her life seemed to have returned to when she was still in the Investigation Division.

Go to bed early and wake up early, three meals a day.

"If you don't think about anything, it's the scariest thing. ”

Yuedi said.

"I didn't think about anything......"

Liu Ruiying said.

"Maybe I'm just slacking off......"

Liu Ruiying said.

"Since a person is alive, he always has something to think about in his head. It is impossible to look like nothing, and if it is not like anything, it is either dead or slack. ”

Yuedi said.

"I received a message from Jin Peng. ”

Yuedi said.

Actually, he didn't feel like that.

But he has been with Yuedi for so long, and he knows that Yuedi is not an invincible person, and he will not exaggerate when he speaks, and he can be regarded as seeking truth from facts.

It seems that this is the main topic of Yuedi's search for him.

After calming down for a long time, something suddenly happened, and Liu Ruiying's heart suddenly swelled with a sourness.

"What did you say?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"The Investigation Department of the Central Capital has already known about the situation here. ”

Yuedi said.

Maybe unwilling.

It's just that Liu Ruiying can't tell whether he dares to break his idle days, or is it for something else......

Jin Peng didn't say this. But if they knew I was here, they would have come. ”

Yuedi said.

"So will someone come?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

Since you are relieved, how can you close the mountains and send people from it?

"They didn't come to help with the money...... They probably just wanted to persuade me to go back. ”

But Liu Ruiying didn't think so.

On the contrary, he thought that if the Central Capital Investigation Division knew that Yuedi was here, he would be very relieved.

"Do you want to go back?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

Yuedi said.

She saw Liu Ruiying's doubts.

Liu Ruiying asked this just to confirm it again.

There are many things that people are looking forward to, and it is always difficult to feel at ease.

In fact, they have talked about this question a long time ago.

Yuedi once said that when the matter of the silver is over, he will return to the central capital with Liu Ruiying and return to the investigation department.

Only in the other party's determination again and again can you get a little comfort.

"I don't know. ”

There is no firmness until the moment when it really happens.

The only way to do this is to keep asking.

"Didn't you make a decision before?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

Yuedi replied very simply.

But this was unexpected by Liu Ruiying.

Liu Ruiying was extremely helpless......

"You know, I'm a woman. ”

"You said it was before, I don't know, it's the decision now. ”

Yuedi smiled and said.

Yuedi continued.

"I'd rather believe it's a forgetfulness than a reversal. Forgetting is at least much more comfortable. ”

Yuedi turned his words and pointed at himself and said.

"Daughters are fickle. What was said well one moment may change the next moment. ”

Li Yun at the beginning, Zhao Mingming later, sugar-fried chestnuts, and now Yuedi, the boss.

Every woman seems to have opened up a new world for him.

Liu Ruiying said with a wry smile.

He's already dealt with quite a few women.

Liu Ruiying said.

Talking doesn't count, it's nothing.

Take him to experience a world that he has never touched before.

"So women...... It's kind of dangerous!"

Even if you try to figure it out, it will always be half a beat slower.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

The most terrible thing is that they suddenly laugh and cry.

You'll never know what they're really thinking at this moment.

It's like a rushing stream of water that has washed away the only small bridge on the river.

Without the bridge, it would be impossible to swim across the water.

One step can't keep up, no, no, can't keep up.

Many misunderstandings arose from this.

Yuedi asked.

At this moment, she changed her previous seriousness and said in a joking tone.

The sound of flowing water will also become a sad song for the two sides to drift apart.

That's a very new term. Do you think I'm dangerous?"

"So you mean, I'm dangerous to others?"

Yuedi said.

"We're all from the Investigation Division...... You are certainly not dangerous to me. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

So he chose not to say anything.

In addition, Jin Peng also said a little. ”

Liu Ruiying was silent.

Not only is it dangerous for women, but even what women say, if they don't pick it up well, it's also very dangerous......

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Zhenbei Domain, Hongzhou, what do you know?"

Yuedi said, but it was to relieve Liu Ruiying.

"Is there anything else that matters?"

Liu Ruiying said.

This means that he doesn't have any superfluous knowledge about Hongzhou.

Yuedi asked.

"I only know that the position we are in now is the boundary of Hongzhou. ”

What Liu Ruiying knows best is Dingzhou in the Dingxi Domain.

From the fact that after He Youjian was killed, it can be seen that the five kings had an attitude towards these states when they were placed in Jiying Town.

"Hongzhou is the most powerful state in the Zhenbei Kingdom. It is also the most affected place in the north king. Not only because Hongzhou has abundant mineral deposits, but also because of Hongzhou's martial arts strength, even if it is placed in the five major royal domain states, it is also among the best. ”

Yuedi said.

In other royal domains, the prince still attaches great importance to the concentration of power.

But King Zhenbei is the laziest prince.

The unification of a state can be described as a feudal official.

In this week's territory, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a soil emperor with military and political power in one hand.

Liu Ruiying asked.

"That's right. Previously, something big happened in Zhenbei Wangcheng. Now the specific people in charge of things in the Zhenbei Royal Domain, you have also seen it. ”

It is said that he has not traveled to the states for thirteen years.

"Could it be that the Hongzhou Prefecture is going to intervene in this matter?"

Liu Ruiying blurted out.

Yuedi nodded.

Yuedi said.

"Sun Deyu?"

Sun Deyu told Liu Ruiying at the time that he was the enshrinement of the Zhenbei Palace.

is also the only person Liu Ruiying knows from the Zhenbei Palace.

I think that Liu Ruiying, this child, is indeed a bright head.

Sometimes it seems to be stupid and stupid, maybe it's because of lack of experience.

Yuedi said.

"Do they also want to keep a watch over us, but if Hongzhou intervenes in the situation like this, can we just get out of the way?"

As soon as Fang Cai Yuedi said this, Liu Ruiying naturally thought of him.

"Sun Deyu has already sent an order to the Hongzhou Prefecture commander, asking him to organize people as soon as possible and come to the mine. ”

Yuedi said.

"This is to let our Investigation Division resist him in the open, and then the people in Hongzhou will wait for the opportunity to move in the dark and take advantage of the fisherman. ”

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Hongzhou received a secret order. Even if someone comes, they will not intervene from the front with great fanfare. Shangguan Xuyao, the king of Zhenbei, seems to be careless, but in fact, his heart and eyes are much more meticulous than that grate!"

He was a little unhappy in his heart.

How can the taste of being used by others be happy?

Liu Ruiying said.

Then he slapped the table with a slap.

"When will it arrive?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

And it's still so open-minded, naked and scheming.

Even if they want to break the game, they can't do anything about it, so they can only accept it passively.

"But do you think something is wrong?"

Liu Ruiying suddenly frowned and said.

"Counting the days, it is estimated that it will be these two days. ”

Yuedi said.

"We've been here for so long...... After a long time, the news had been transmitted back to the Central Capital Investigation Division, and then it turned back and forth, but this Jing Yao had not yet appeared...... Where the hell is he? Will he really come to this mine?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"How?"

Yuedi asked.

This kind of self-denial is not only the inability to do anything about the things in front of them, but also the guilt of those comrades who sacrificed their lives.

"I don't know. ”

He said that he didn't think anything in the past few days, but in fact, he did it on purpose.

As long as she thinks of these things, Liu Ruiying will fall into a deep self-denial.

The first time was that she didn't know if she would return to the Central Capital Investigation Division.

I don't know this time, but I don't know if Jing Yao will come.

Yuedi said.

This is the second time she has said she doesn't know tonight.

"I don't know. ”

Yuedi said.

"What if you don't come?"

Liu Ruiying asked eagerly.

He felt a little desolate.

"That'...... I don't know either. ”

This is already the third time.

Liu Ruiying sighed.

Yuedi said.

This is what it means to send off guests.

Liu Ruiying said.

"That's it, I'm done. ”

Liu Ruiying had already walked to the door.

When he heard this, he stopped and turned around again, and said that he knew.

"In addition, Hongzhou's martial arts cultivators are probably swordsmen. ”

Yuedi said.

The mysterious killer may be inextricably linked to the people in Hongzhou.

But he had no clue about the situation in Hongzhou.

Hongzhou multi-swordsman.

That's what matters.

At this moment, it is difficult to sleep no matter what.

Instead of lying in bed tossing and turning, it is better to go out for a walk.

Now, even if you want to transfer the file from the Investigation Division, I'm afraid it's too late......

However, the conversation between Fang Cai and Yuedi diluted Liu Ruiying's sleepiness that had been slightly raised before.

Since the arrival of the moon flute, the proprietress has become much more peaceful.

Before, even upstairs, she could be heard laughing unbridledly.

In the past few days, Liu Ruiying has not even gone out of this gate except for opening the window to look outside.

Even the coquettish proprietress has only been photographed once.

Liu Ruiying walked downstairs, the wooden staircase was in disrepair, and I don't know how many years had passed.

It is not so obvious in the daytime, and in the dead of night, every step creaks and seems extremely harsh.

Lately, however, it has been unusually quiet.

The people who drink are also quiet, and no one dies weirdly anymore, which can be regarded as a kind of quiet.

Her cheeks were already red and hot, and she looked like she wasn't far from getting drunk.

Being drunk should have been the most relaxing feeling, but Liu Ruiying saw melancholy under the blush on her face.

When she got downstairs, Liu Ruiying saw that there were still people sitting in the hall today, eating and drinking, and they hadn't dispersed yet.

The hostess was naturally among them.

If it's useful, it's a great help for the future.

If it's useless, then it's time to listen to the story to relieve your boredom.

Liu Ruiying thought about it, this proprietress is a local.

From her, you may be able to know a lot of things about Hongzhou,

It's just that this sentence is a little less flavorful in Liu Ruiying's ears......

Not only is the tone too flat, but even the boss's consistent body movements are motionless.

"Yo! but I'm willing to go downstairs."

When the proprietress saw Liu Ruiying's voice, she immediately teased.

The proprietress did not speak, but got up and went to fetch a jug of wine and placed it on the empty table next to her.

Here, to talk is to drink.

"Long time no see, come down and talk. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"No, I'll ask you to drink!"

The proprietress said.

If you don't drink, no one will talk to you.

Liu Ruiying took out the silver from her arms and was about to pay the bill, but was grabbed by the wrist of the proprietress.

It's not cold here.

So what is the proprietress nervous about?

Liu Ruiying felt that her hands were very cold, but there was still a brazier lit in the hall.

People with cold hands are either cold or nervous.

Here, playing sharp, going around in circles, he is not at all an opponent of these people, especially the proprietress of the boss.

So since there are doubts, it's not straightforward and straightforward, but have something to say.

"Why are your hands so cold?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

Liu Ruiying nodded.

"It's a little cool...... indeed"

"My hands, are they cold?"

The proprietress raised her hands and asked with a look at herself.

Liu Ruiying said.

"Maybe I'm nervous to see you. ”

The proprietress said as she put her hands to her cheeks.

"Then why is that? It's not cold in the hall. ”

The smile of the proprietress is usually very free.

Not only will the mouth be wide open, but the eyes will be squeezed into a crooked crescent, and the right leg will be stretched straight, facing upwards, and the body will also be leaned back.

The proprietress said with a grin.

Although she finally had some expressions, Liu Ruiying still felt that this smile was very reluctant......

Liu Ruiying saw that the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and the two sides were not symmetrical.

After being so entangled, he finally grinned and smiled softly.

I don't know how happy she really is in her heart, at least this laughing posture is very devoted.

But the smile of the proprietress was not like that.

"Don't push yourself if you have a lot on your mind. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

But her right leg was not straightened up, and her body did not lean back.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the smile of the proprietress is extremely far-fetched.

"I didn't have anything on my mind, I was really just a little nervous. ”

The proprietress said.

Previously, Yuedi said that he was a little slack, because Liu Ruiying had really been lazy and emptied himself in the past few days.

But this optimistic proprietress didn't know what was going on, and she became so deliberate with a smile and a smile.

"Not really. ”

The proprietress said.

"Nervous about me?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

The proprietress raised her wine glass, touched it lightly with Liu Ruiying, and then raised her head to drink it all.

"My brother is gone. ”

Liu Ruiying shook her head helplessly, poured herself a glass of wine, and refilled the cup in front of the proprietress.

"That's what it's like to talk!"

Liu Ruiying was a little surprised.

There was no reaction for a while.

The proprietress said.

"Your brother ?......"

This surprised Liu Ruiying.

Gone, these two words, but there is another meaning.

"Master Jin. ”

The proprietress said calmly.

"Where do you want to go? He's just going home......"

The proprietress said.

"How did he go......"

Liu Ruiying asked.

Or maybe he really slacked off...... He may have known about this news, but after slackening, he forgot all about it.

"Everybody has a home. My brother and I didn't pop out of the cracks in the rocks. How can there be no home?"

"Home?"

Liu Ruiying suddenly felt that he didn't know anything about the boss lady.

Liu Ruiying asked.

"I don't know...... Presumably he had his own plans. ”

The proprietress said.

"I haven't left for so long, why is this time in such a hurry?"

Liu Ruiying said.

The proprietress didn't say anything more, just quietly drank another glass of wine.

The proprietress shook her head and said.

"It's not easy to go home......"

"Obedient children have candy to eat"

This is something that everyone knows from a young age.

"It's easy to go home, just lift your leg and walk. It's just that there are too many rules at home, and it's not so easy to make up your mind. ”

The proprietress said.

For readers, studying hard is the rule.

If you don't study well, you will suffer and be poor for the rest of your life.

To be obedient is to obey the rules.

Even a person like Liu Ruiying, who grew up in the Investigation Division since he was a child, would receive a lot of rewards if he showed special physique when he was a child.

However, whether this rule is reasonable and whether it should be followed varies from person to person.

Because every rule in the world is also set by people, what the vast majority of people agree with naturally becomes a rule.

The price of poverty is the price of not following the rules.

For many people, success or failure simply depends on whether or not they follow the rules.

It's also a price.

"How is Hongzhou?"

However, there are advances and retreats, and there are gains and losses.

If a person breaks the rules in some areas, he will definitely make up for it in other areas.

The proprietress asked, biting her wine glass.

"Just asking...... Where to talk about what to like and dislike. ”

Liu Ruiying asked.

"What, you like it?"

The proprietress said.

"Hongzhou, I've only been to the mine. There is no one I like here. ”

Liu Ruiying waved his hand and said.

"Men like a place, usually because that place has a person you like. ”

The proprietress said.

"I'm just curious, for no reason. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"Then why did you come up with a whim to know about Hongzhou? You have been here for so long, but I have never seen you ask. ”

But the proprietress rushed forward, snatched the wine glass from his hand, and said:

"I asked you to drink, but you didn't tell the truth. Not only can I not continue chatting, but I think it's better not to drink this wine as soon as possible. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

Then get ready for a glass of wine.

The proprietress grabbed it like this, but it made him choke and cough.

"Where am I not telling the truth?"

The proprietress said.

Liu Ruiying had just drunk half of this glass of wine in his mouth.

The hostess asked.

The tone was extremely solemn.

Liu Ruiying cleared her throat and wiped the wine stains from her mouth and said.

"What the hell happened to Hongzhou?"

Facing the blazing gaze of the proprietress, Liu Ruiying was a little evasive.

"I know who you are, but it's not a deterrent to me. So if you want to ask, I'll have to be sincere. ”

Liu Ruiying's heart tightened, she obviously had something to say, but she was like a fish in her throat.

"Hongzhou didn't ...... much"

Liu Ruiying said.

The proprietress stared at Liu Ruiying for a while and nodded, and put the wine glass on the table in front of him by the way.

The proprietress said.

"I just heard that the King of Zhenbei has ordered someone to order Hongzhou to come to the mine to investigate. I asked you about Hongzhou just because I don't know anything about Hongzhou. ”

"All. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"Hongzhou...... I know so much. What do you want to hear?"

The hostess asked.

Liu Ruiying looked at the wine glass in front of him and poured himself a glass of wine without hurrying.

He had heard the kung fu of a cup of tea, the time of a stick of incense.

"Hey...... The appetite is not small! In case you can't finish talking about it even if it's dawn, you should ponder what you want to know the most, and give you time for a glass of wine. ”

The proprietress said.

For people who are addicted to alcohol, like a little clever, I am afraid that the bottom of the cup will be turned to the sky in the blink of an eye.

This definition is really too vague.

But I don't know how many inches this glass of wine has?

For people who don't know how to drink, or who don't want to drink, this glass of wine may have to be used for a lifetime.

"I want to know the swordsmen of Hongzhou. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

In fact, Liu Ruiying already had a plan in his heart, he just wanted to delay

Although he also knew what the point of his own delay was.

The proprietress said with a smile.

At the same time, he grabbed the sleeve of his right arm.

The proprietress turned her head to see that the glass of wine had already been drunk.

"Aren't I?"

At least the last time he and Yuedi fought with the boss lady, the boss lady was one against two, and she couldn't fall behind.

I have to say that she is really an outstanding swordsman.

Knife in the sleeve.

Liu Ruiying has seen it a long time ago.

"That's a lot more...... My family is full of swordsmen. ”

The proprietress said.

"What about you but you?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"You'd better hurry, because I'm getting drunk. ”

The two were silent for a moment, and the proprietress spoke.

Liu Ruiying didn't answer, he was waiting for the proprietress to continue.

But Liu Ruiying didn't ask, but the proprietress didn't say anything.

The way she calculates time is measured by wine.

But getting drunk is too metaphysical.

If she didn't want to, Liu Ruiying felt that the proprietress could never get drunk once in her life.

The premise is whether her own problem can cheer her up.
