Chapter 204: It's hard to ride a tiger
"You have come from afar, the boat is tired, Luo has missed the welcome, and I hope to forgive your sins!"
Outside the middle hall, Luo Tianjin's hearty laughter came from far and near. Before the words fell, he was already accompanied by Su Tang, Ling Xiaoxiao, and Luo Hongxuan, and walked into the hall quickly.
At this moment, Xie Xuan and Deng Changchuan were greeting Xun Qin and his party. There were several large boxes of gold, silver, pearls and jade on the ground as a gift for the meeting.
The so-called people who don't stretch out their hands and don't hit smiling faces, although Xie Xuan and Deng Changchuan didn't know the meaning of Xun Qin's coming, but for the sake of the generous gifts from others, they still served tea quite enthusiastically.
Today, Xun Qin is still dressed as a woman. Wearing a snow-capped butterfly boy shirt, lined with mountains and rivers and bright moons, stepping on blue-bottomed silver-patterned boy boots, and holding an elephant bone white silk meteor fan, he looks like a handsome and elegant, graceful and graceful boy.
But when visiting outside the house, Xun Qin did not deliberately conceal it, and directly called herself a "little woman", obviously she wanted to be honest with Luo Tianjin.
Seeing Xun Qin for the first time, Luo Tianjin couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The stunning beauty in the world, he doesn't know how many he has seen, but like Xun Qin, beauty and wisdom are integrated, heroism and spirituality are combined, and a strange woman with a little bit of Western style, Luo Tianjin is also the first time in his life to meet it.
Especially after a woman dresses up as a man, Xun Qin, ice muscles and jade bones, foggy sideburns and clouds, exquisitely clear, white and flawless. Peach blossom face, willow palace eyebrows, double pupils cut water, a charming look. is like a nine-day fairy, which makes people only look at it from a distance and dare not play with it.
Although Luo Tianjin sighed at Xun Qin's beauty and temperament, he had no evil thoughts. His eyes are open, his expression is pleasant, and he shows a touch of appreciation.
The men in the world have always admired beauties. Luo Tianjin is like this, and so is Luo Hongxuan.
"What a handsome girl!"
Seeing the strange appearance of her husband and son, Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't help frowning slightly, first glared at Luo Tianjin's father and son angrily, and then asked Xun Qin, "I don't know where the girl came from?"
"The little girl Xun Qin, on the order of the King of Shaoqin, came to visit the King of Beixian. I've seen Lord Luo, Mrs. Luo, and Prince Luo here!"
Without Xie Xuan's recommendation, Xun Qin had already guessed their respective identities, so he bowed in turn. Immediately afterwards, she waved her hand and pointed to a few people behind her, and introduced to Luo Tianjin: "They are my entourage, Abaolu, Su Hu, Xiao Yang, and Xun Pudao. ”
"Miss Xunqin doesn't need to be polite! Looking at their temperament, they must be from the masters of the Three Sects of the Western Regions. Luo Tianjin nodded with a smile, made a "please" gesture to Xun Qin, and then walked towards the main seat.
After a little greeting, the two sides sat down separately. Luo Tianjin's gaze swept over Xun Qin and the others, and asked with a smile: "Although I have never met King Shaoqin, I have already heard of his name. 'Shaoqin King' Yelutai is a member of the Great Liao royal family. After the descendants of Yelu Yanxi, the last lord of Liao, the fourth great-great-grandson of Yeluding, the king of Qin. In order to mourn the ancestors, he followed the name of Yeluding's 'King of Qin', so he was called ...... King Shaoqin. ”
Luo Tianjin's words revealed the identity of the young Qin king, which surprised the people present.
"It seems that the Lord of Luofu has already found out the details of us. Xun Qin was calm and calm, and laughed softly, "You must be able to guess what we mean?"
"Luo has always been cautious about people who take the initiative to befriend me. Luo Tianjin replied with a smile, "We Han people have a saying, 'No profit is not early'. There is also a sentence that says, 'Nothing is diligent, either a traitor or a thief'. I just don't know, the young Qin king befriended Luo, just to make a profit? Or does he have other plans?"
Luo Tianjin's words made Xun Qin's face finally change slightly.
Her eyes were like torches, staring at Luo Tianjin, who was calm and calm, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy in her heart, and secretly thought: "Luo Tianjin is even more difficult to deal with than I imagined, no wonder he can go from a nobody to today's status in just twenty years, and he is really extraordinary." ”
The nervous look on Xun Qin's face was fleeting, she smiled slightly, and asked instead of answering, "Lord Luofu might as well guess?"
"I only guess what I'm interested in. Luo Tianjin pretended to be a pity, shook his head and smiled, "It's a pity, I have a ...... to the Shaoqin King and the Western Liao royal family." No interest. ”
"Not interested?" Xun Qinliu raised his eyebrows lightly, and muttered: "What about the 'Storm and Rain Map'?
"What do you mean?" To this day, Luo Tianjin has always been haunted by that fake picture. Therefore, when he heard Xun Qin's old things mentioned again, a touch of displeasure flashed between his eyebrows.
Xun Qin pretended to be dazed and ignorant, and said to himself: "The lord of Luofu is really a noble person. As everyone knows, last year, I gave you the hard-won 'stormy rain map' free of charge. ”
"Really?" Luo Tianjin smiled coldly and asked rhetorically, "If you don't say this, I really forgot about it, the 'Shocking Wind and Rain Map' you gave me is fake." ”
"Impossible!" Xun Qin pretended to be shocked, and retorted with an oath, "That picture was given to me by Ding Ao, the lord of the Jinlin Banner, personally, and there can be no fake! ”
"The picture...... It's a fake indeed. Xie Xuan continued, "Later, we found that there were no less than a thousand fake pictures that were exactly the same as them in the rivers and lakes, and it was obvious that someone did it on purpose." ”
"This ......" Xun Qin looked puzzled and muttered to himself, "Could it be that Ding Ao lied to me? Impossible, the King of Shaoqin has been friends with the Jade Dragon Palace for many years, and promised to use the 'Liao Kingdom Jade Jane' as a token of friendship, how can he lie to me? Impossible! This matter is absolutely impossible to ......."
After saying that, Xun Qin suddenly raised his eyes to look at Luo Tianjin, and said hesitantly: "Lord Luofu, if you are sure that the picture is fake, then there may be another possibility......
"What is possible?" Luo Tianjin's eyes were like knives, staring straight at Xun Qin with an innocent face.
"Some people are bold enough to steal dragons and phoenixes. Xun Qin said bluntly. She suddenly changed her words and asked, "At the beginning, I gave this picture to a person named Liu Xunyi, and I dared to ask this person...... But the disciple of the Xian Wang's Mansion?"
Luo Tianjin and Xie Xuan glanced at each other, and said suspiciously: "Do you suspect that Liu Xunyi made a move?"
"I don't know. Xun Qin pretended to be in a dilemma, shook his head and said, "If this person is still in your mansion, why doesn't the lord of Luo Mansion call him over?"
"Come on, go and invite the Lord of the Willow Gate!"
Before Xun Qin's voice fell, Luo Hongxuan had already opened his mouth to order.
After a while, Liu Xunyi, who looked worried, limped into the middle hall accompanied by Luo Ningyu.
As soon as he entered the door, Liu Xunyi and Xun Qin looked at each other, their strange eyes were tightly intertwined, and the expressions of the two became very different.
Liu Xunyi's mouth was dry, his body and mind were nervous, and his face was solemn. On the other hand, Xun Qin is smiling with her eyebrows and eyes, and her expression is leisurely, which makes people unpredictable her thoughts.
Looking at each other for a moment, for Liu Xunyi, it was like being in a sea of swords and fire, spending countless spring and autumn, bitter and difficult, and extremely tormented.
Liu Xunyi barely squeezed out a cramped smile towards Xun Qin, and instead staggered towards Luo Tianjin, bowing and saluting. At this time, Xun Qin's sharp gaze inadvertently fell on his limping leg.
Suddenly, Xun Qin's eyes flashed. She quietly recalled that a few days ago in the Lingqiu mountain stream, she had seen the limping back of the opposite mountain in a hurry, just like Liu Xunyi, who was struggling at the moment.
Thinking of this, Xun Qin's face suddenly became wonderful, and the corners of his mouth raised an indescribable strange smile.
"Miss Xunqin, he is Liu Xunyi. Luo Tianjin said, "When you were in the Western Regions, you handed over the 'Shocking Wind and Rain Map' to this person?"
"Exactly. Xun Qin looked furious and replied, "It is this Liu Shaoxia." ”
After that, Xun Qin walked leisurely, slowly came to the trembling Liu Xunyi, paced back and forth around him, looked up and down, and looked straight at Liu Xunyi's heart for a while.
Xun Qin asked with a smile: "Liu Shaoxia, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come to harm?"
Liu Xunyi didn't know what kind of medicine was being sold in Xunqin's gourd, so he could only reluctantly respond: "Thanks to the girl's blessing, everything is fine." ”
Deng Changchuan couldn't wait to urge: "If you are polite, you don't need to say much. Looking for clothes, the lord of the mansion just mentioned the 'Shocking Wind and Rain Map', Miss Xun Qin suspected that you dropped your bag halfway, and now I call you to confront you face to face, you might as well explain. ”
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi was stunned for a moment, and then swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty, thinking hard about countermeasures in his heart, but he didn't reply for a long time.
When Liu Xunyi raised his eyes to look at Xun Qin, he saw Xun Qin's big watery eyes looking at him with a smile. This scene made Liu Xunyi feel creepy and chilled.
Liu Xunyi hesitated for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "What did Miss Xun Qin give me, I presented it to the mansion master...... It's nothing, and I have never done anything in secret. If I have half a lie, the sky will thunder and thunder, and I will not die well!"
Seeing this, Luo Tianjin's eyes couldn't help but swell with a touch of pride, turned to look at Xun Qin, and said lightly: "Liu Xunyi dares to swear to the sky, saying that he did not steal the sky. I wonder if Miss Xun Qin dared to swear to the sky, saying that the 'Shocking Wind and Rain Map' she gave me must be true?"
In the face of Luo Tianjin's aggressiveness, Xun Qin's face couldn't help but sink.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, stared at Liu Xunyi with deep meaning, and said word by word: "Liu Shaoxia, do you also think that this fake picture was given by me? It is related to my innocence and reputation, I hope Liu Shaoxia can think about it carefully, and it is best to recall everything that happened at that time, even ...... Every word. ”
There are words in Xunqin's words, and others can't understand them, but Liu Xunyi listens to them really.
Luo Hongxuan looked at Xun Qin incomprehensibly, and said suspiciously: "This picture is from the girl's hand, and it was forwarded to my father by Liu Xunyi." Now that I found out that the picture is fake, the problem can only be with three people, either my father deliberately framed him, or Liu Xunyi stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix, or you are the Xunqin girl...... At the beginning, it was a fake picture. Now Liu Xunyi dares to swear to the sky, and you refuse to admit it, is it implying that my father deliberately framed him?"
"Of course not!"
Under the urging of Xun Qin's eyes, Liu Xunyi finally couldn't resist her obsession, and reluctantly said quietly: "In fact, in addition to the three of us, there is another person who can also control the truth of this picture." ”
"Who is it?" Deng Changchuan asked curiously.
"Ren Wuya!" Liu Xunyi looked at the smiling Xun Qin with complicated eyes, and said against his will, "From the very beginning, he set up a game of concealment, played with us, and successfully deceived everyone, including the mansion master and me, as well as ...... Miss Xun Qin......"
