72. The future is uncertain

Seeing that she was silent, Jun Li was also silent for a while, and said, "Thorn, you listen to me first about this matter." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's not that I don't care about the safety of okra, but her purpose is different from ours, she is here to find the piano, it is easier, once the goal is achieved, she will retreat, if you are with her, your purpose is to save people, she will not sit idly by and let you be alone in danger, don't you cause her more trouble?"

After a pause, he added, "I...... I'm not qualified to care about you, but that's what you said, 'Even if you're a stranger who meets for the first time, you don't have to treat me like an enemy......, right?'

"How can I treat you like an enemy!" the thorn turned his head, his puffed expression almost like a pufferfish.

Jun Li was stunned, sneered, and said, "You rely on the old and sell the old, so you know how to tell me these truths, and you are about to catch up with my father." Even my dad isn't as verbose as you. ”

Jun Li smiled when he heard her tone soften, and said, "You're not angry, are you?"

"Angry, unless you give me a beating. ”

“...... Oh, yes, as long as you promise me not to choose, you can fight as you like. ”

The thorn gave him a blank look, and turned worried: "But I'm really worried, if we are just two Taoist priests, can we really find out where the eldest brother is?"

Jun Li put his hand on her shoulder. "You don't believe me?"

"I ......" Thorn didn't say anything, but he probably didn't believe it in his heart.

"That's what I said to Okra," Jun Li said, "I don't want her to worry about our search for people, but I want her to have a chance to talk to the characters in the palace once she enters the palace, so she must try to explain the benefits of us Taoist priests, and try to give us the opportunity to be summoned by important people, so that we can have the opportunity to walk in the palace." In fact, this is not the first time that the three princes have married a concubine, and the current Concubine Gong was introduced by a Taoist priest, which shows that at least this King Gong is extremely convinced of Taoism, and I heard that he is favored by today's son, and he himself is especially good with the emperor, that is, his uncle, if there is a chance to see King Gong, I think it will be much more convenient for us to inquire or act. ”

Before Thorn could say anything, Jun Li continued: "Anyway, I also agreed with Okra that I will contact each other as long as I have the opportunity, at least we know where each other is, and it doesn't mean that she will always be left alone." We don't know what it's like now, and we can only act on the opportunity. ”

Thorn was silent for a long time, and then said, "Okay, you let me think again." ”

Jun Li knew that he couldn't force her for a while, so he slowed down his voice and said, "Then let's go back first." ”

"Have you looked for Shen Fengming in the past two days?"

"I left it in several places in Lin'an City according to the code I had contacted before, but there seemed to be no response. Jun Li said, "Maybe he didn't see it, maybe he didn't think I was coming, so he didn't care." I'll try it again in a few days. ”

The stab said "oh" and walked out with him.

It was early in the afternoon, and the noise in the streets continued.

After all, the thorn still followed Jun Li's wishes, and the next few days passed according to the plan. She didn't really feel the mood to beat Jun Li, she just "wrote down" the matter, thinking that if she could really save Cheng Ping, it would be good, do you still care about this breath?

The day of appearance is just around the corner. Although there shouldn't be anything going on with their Taoist priest that day, Thorn still dressed up as a little Taoist priest and followed Jun Li out to see.

In fact, they couldn't see anything, Okra and the others waited at the west gate of the inner city early in the morning, and the women were led in by someone after they were recited one by one. I only heard the "autumn thorn" and "autumn thorn" shouted five or six times in front of me. Thorn pursed his mouth, not daring to make a sound, only raising his eyes to look at Jun Li on the side. Jun Li didn't look at her, but his hand clenched her fiercely, and he didn't let go until the singer crossed out the name.

After that, it took a while to call out okra. She glanced back at the place where the two of them were, Thorn knew that the things behind this parting were out of her control, it was difficult to say when she would see each other again, she was a little gloomy, and suddenly saw a person coming out of the door, so she pointed to Okra and said, "Hey, you stop first!"

Jun Li and Thorn were both taken aback. This person is none other than Xia Qi - it turns out that he is among the officials who presided over the election. remembered that day he had said by the West Lake that he would not let Jun Li and Okra choose a concubine and "fly Huang Tengda", and now he took advantage of his position to really obstruct it from the beginning!

Okra naturally knew that he was referring to herself, but at the moment, she could only pretend not to know, and Gu Zi walked with the team. Seeing this, Xia Qi snorted and ordered him to pause the reading of the name behind him, and stepped forward to wait for the okra to come out of the ranks.

"Brother Jun Li, what should I do?" said the thorn urgently. He ...... He's here to make trouble!"

Jun Li was also caught off guard, and was hesitating whether to intervene, when suddenly a man appeared on the other side of the door, and said with a smile while walking straight towards Xia Qi: "Young Master Xia, what a coincidence, I didn't see you before." As he spoke, he put his arms around his shoulders, looking extremely familiar and intimate, and of course separated his hand that was originally stretched out to okra with his body.

Xia Qi was blocked by him, of course, he subconsciously wanted to push, but the man seemed to be too familiar, put his arm on his shoulder and walked to the side and said: "It seems that Xia Gongzi is also particularly interested in Maung Xuan?"

As he spoke, he waved his other hand back, as if to signal the singer to continue reading. The singer was still hesitating whether to listen to him or Xia Qi, so the man turned his head and glanced at him, and the singer hurriedly bowed slightly to show his acceptance, and straightened up and began to read his name again.

This time, Okra's gaze was also opposite to him in an instant. There was no ambiguous and funny look in it, which made her bite her teeth. Shen Fengming. This Shen Fengming, who has been lost since entering the city, is actually here-in the inner city! It seems that he has nothing to do with the matter of choosing a concubine, and his status in this matter seems to be on par with Xia Qi's status.

It's just that even if there is still a thousand kinds of anger against him in his chest, he can only hold it back at the moment and move forward with the team. has already come in, no matter what, he can't turn back, and he can't mess it up for any reason - he promised lightly in front of Jun Li: "I'm not a child, do I know which is more important?" - Now, it is important to sneak into the palace, and Shen Fengming's matter can only be lightened.

Jun Li and Thorn outside were also relieved. Thorn Thorn became curious - Shen Fengming, if he appeared here by chance, and happened to pull him away when Xia Qi was about to stop the okra, it would be too much of a coincidence, right? Thinking about it, he said, "It seems that he has seen the secret mark you left in the city." ”

Jun Li muttered: "I only kept a secret memory to meet and talk to him, but he didn't come, so he shouldn't know our plan." ”

He may have guessed that there was Sister Qiu in the list of appearances. If he can contain Xia Gongzi, it would be a good thing, but, alas, his position - really can't be fully trusted. ”

"It seems that it would have been inconvenient for him to come to see me before. Jun Li was still groaning. "But since he knows that Okra wants to choose a concubine, as long as he can take care of her safety, it will help us a lot. Otherwise, we didn't expect him. ”

"But he- will he really take care of Sister Qiu?" said Thorn hesitantly. "He's not bad with you, but it's like Sister Qiu...... It seems that the festival is very deep. ”

As she spoke, she seemed to have something to say, but she wanted to stop talking.

Seeing her hesitating, Jun Li couldn't help but say, "What do you want to say?"

"Well, I'm worried that since he is also in this concubine election, although he stopped Gongzi Xia this time, maybe it will be the opposite-but there is another purpose, but he will embarrass Sister Qiu in the future. The stinger said it though he wasn't quite sure.

"Why do you think that?" Jun Li frowned. In his impression, Thorn should never be a person who likes to look at things so pessimistically, nor is he a person who likes to maliciously speculate on others.

"Well, I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking. Thorn said with his head down. "Let's go back first, we can't help now, we can only wait for tomorrow evening, and the results of the selection will come out." ”

Jun Li nodded, walked back with her, and suddenly thought, "Could it be that when you were alone with Okra in the past two days, she told you something about Shen Fengming......? The hostility is deep, and her words may be a little extreme. That day, Shen Fengming helped us go to the Black Bamboo Club to save people, you also remember, and you should be able to see that he will not be at least a person who falls into the well, so - this time, at most, he will not help each other, but he should not embarrade. ”

"Well, it's because he's helped us that I'm not entirely sure. Thorn looked down and said, suddenly stood still, looked up and said, "I...... Let me put it this way. If Sister Qiu and Shen Fengming said the same thing in front of you, but said diametrically opposite things, who would you believe?"

Jun Li groaned, "I always believe in okra more, she ...... Shen Fengming likes to talk nonsense even if he is not malicious. ”

Thorn stabbing both hands clapped. "yes, that's why I'm worried. Brother Jun Li, if you hadn't insisted on stopping me, I would ...... I really want to go in with Sister Qiu to prevent Shen Fengming!"

"What the hell did okra tell you? Jun Li said with a smile. "Shen Fengming didn't say a few words to you that day, what is the difference between the two of them?"

"That's it...... It's Lou Qianshan's matter, do you remember that Shen Fengming said that Lou Qianshan used charm kung fu on him, wanting to kill him when he was unsettled. However, Sister Qiu said that this was not the case, she said that it was Shen Fengming who provoked Lou Qianshan. I remembered that the second brother also said that we misunderstood Lou Qianshan, maybe Lou Qianshan is really innocent, maybe Shen Fengming is a bad person!"

"Okra went out very late that night, and I shouldn't know how Shen Fengming and Lou Qianshan clashed - what she said, you tell me in detail. ”

Thorn was hesitant. Actually, it wasn't what she said, but she showed me a letter, which Lou Qianshan left for her before leaving, and wrote everything that happened that day. She...... She said that she originally wanted to tell you, because she was worried that you had always trusted Shen Fengming so much, and might be used by him, but that letter ...... Some girls' words are inconvenient for you to see, so she asked me to remind you not to trust Shen Fengming so much, he ...... Really not a good guy. ”

"Well, it's inconvenient to show me nothing, but--if it's really as you said, that letter was left by Lou Qianshan, then the question is not who I trust between okra and Shen Fengming, but who I trust between Lou Qianshan and Shen Fengming, right?"

The stinger was stunned, "That's right." Needless to say, these two people, you must believe Shen Fengming. ”

"I don't believe in Shen Fengming, I just don't believe in Lou Qianshan. If Lou Qianshan said all kinds of bad things about Shen Fengming in the letter, then ...... I have to believe that Shen Fengming is a good person. ”

"Oops, you...... You don't understand, you ...... You...... You don't know how pitiful Miss Lou is, Sister Qiu said that she also saw it with her own eyes - hey, it's almost the same as seeing it with her own eyes, and she should say anything bad again!"

Jun Li saw that her words were unknown, but when she spoke, she suddenly turned her face away, and when she thought about it, she guessed something that was "inconvenient for you to see", and her face froze unconsciously. Shen Fengming is indeed impossible to do this kind of thing to Lou Qianshan, even if there are many antecedents, if it ends up being a man's bullying of a woman, there is no excuse to argue.

"But...... He doesn't move okra. He thought about it for a moment and said resolutely. "He promised me. ”

Seeing that he seemed to have guessed the meaning, Thorn was also a little timid, and muttered, "It's hard to say." It's hard to change his nature, he ...... If he is a womanizer......"

"Do you really think he is so bold? Anyway, okra is going to choose a concubine, and he still dares to move someone who may become a princess?"

Thorn finally settled on a snack and hummed: "Yes, forgive him and don't dare." ”
