Chapter 23: The Pupil of the Ruins (4)
Gu Changqing's expression changed, and he said ominously: "The reason why I don't want to alarm the government is that I have some scruples. ”
Qian He heard the sound outside the strings and said in a low voice: "Could it be that this case is related to the officials of our De'an Mansion?"
"It's hard to say yet. ”
Qian He nodded and said, "So I understand, but you and I are both officials, maybe I can help Lord Gu." ”
"If that's necessary, I'm not ashamed to ask. ”
"Lord Gu's words are serious. ”
After that, Qian He personally placed Gu Changqing and Li Xi in the hotel.
Qian He explained to the manager of the pavilion: "This lord is from Jiading Mansion, you have to entertain you well and prepare an upper room." ”
Gu Changqing said: "Two rooms." ”
Hearing this, Qian He looked at Li Xi with a strange expression: "This?"
Gu Changqing didn't explain too much: "Two rooms, it's troublesome." ”
"Okay, just do what Master Gu said. ”
It was already dusk when Qian He left, and Li Xi came to Gu Changqing's room.
"Why do you say that you are from Jiading Mansion, and what is so coincidental is that there is really a pusher from Jiading Mansion. ”
Gu Changqing said: "When I went to work that night, I deliberately read the files in recent years, including a headless case, a magistrate from Jiading Mansion, who died unknowingly. ”
Li Xi recalled that Gu Changqing was indeed reading the file that night, and he didn't expect his mind to be so delicate.
"Since there is really a pusher from Jiading Mansion, will you change the future if you appear in this capacity?"
"Changing the future?"
Gu Changqing groaned: "If the future is all predestined, how can I change it alone?"
"It's almost time. ”
Gu Changqing got up, but Li Xi said, "I'll go with you." ”
"You don't have a way to go, and if you go, you may be exposed. ”
"Although I don't have Taoism, I have the Pupil of the Ruins Realm, and can you rest assured that I am here alone?"
Gu Changqing muttered: "If nothing else, that Wupin Moon Envoy of Diluo is also looking for a golden retriever, there may be a fierce battle, I am worried that I will not be able to protect you." ”
"I have the ability to protect myself. ”
Gu Changqing didn't speak, and went straight to the outside of the county government and hid in the dark.
When night fell, many handymen came out of the county office, they were all temporary workers, and when the time came, they would go home separately.
Li Xi watched the people coming and going, and said, "I'm afraid Chen Changxue won't appear until all these people leave." ”
Gu Changqing said: "No, he has already come out." ”
Li Xi carefully looked at the miscellaneous servants who walked out and said, "These are just miscellaneous servants." ”
Gu Changqing said: "Chen Changxue is very smart, he should have noticed that I was testing him during the day, so he went to find a golden retriever and dressed up in disguise." ”
"The tall and the short one in the middle of you are obviously different from the other miscellaneous servants. ”
When Li Xi heard this, he suddenly became enlightened: "I understand, the other miscellaneous servants were all happy when they left, but these two miscellaneous servants hid their faces under their clothes and hats, and they were in a hurry. ”
Gu Changqing nodded and said, "That's right, if I use my mana to sense it at such a close distance, I will also expose myself when I find him, and he also knows this, so he dares to take the risk of pretending to be a handyman and leave." ”
"They're already far away, let's keep up. ”
"Don't worry," Gu Changqing said, "Have you noticed it, there is a sneaky person behind us who has been watching us." ”
"Don't look back, it should be Qian He. ”
Li Xi was puzzled: "Why is he spying on us?"
"The news from the Dao Gong Division said that the magistrate from Jiading Mansion had died, and I suddenly appeared in this capacity, he didn't say it on the surface, but he was actually very suspicious, so he made this decision. ”
"It seems that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind. ”
"We have to get rid of Qian He first. ”
Li Xi smiled knowingly: "I have a way." ”
She suddenly grabbed Gu Changqing's hand and headed south.
At this time, it has entered the night, although it will be late, but the shops on the street have not yet closed, and they are still full of people, and only in the prosperous era will there be such a weather.
Li Xi pulled Gu Changqing and squeezed into a shop, but Gu Changqing saw that it was a ready-to-wear store.
Gu Changqing said: "When did you find this shop?"
Li Xi smiled: "We girls and you men pay attention to different things, as soon as I entered Anlu County, I noticed it." ”
She casually took off two sets of clothes and pulled Gu Changqing behind a curtain.
"Since Chen Changxue can dress up in disguise, so can we, and there are so many people in the store, Qian He lost his target after we came in, just like you can't use mana to sense Chen Changxue, Qian He must not dare to use mana to sense you. ”
Gu Changqing said with sincere approval: "I didn't expect your mind to be so alert. ”
Li Xi smiled gently, handed the clothes to Gu Changqing and said, "Change quickly, we have to hurry, otherwise Chen Changxue will go away." ”
Gu Changqing looked at Li Xi, who was less than a foot away from him, and suddenly hesitated.
Changing clothes in this small space, the two will definitely have physical contact, and more importantly, the two are changing clothes in person.
Li Xi saw Gu Changqing's scruples, and said seriously: "I don't care about the urgency of the matter, why should you care?"
Gu Changqing thought to himself that he was indeed in love.
There is no longer any hesitation at the moment.
However, when he saw Li Xiruxue's skin, Gu Changqing was still a little enthusiastic.
"We're going to hurry!"
Under Li Xi's urging, Gu Changqing finally changed his clothes.
At this time, the two of them had already changed into thick coats, and they both wore large-brimmed hats on their heads, which was no different from the clothes of the local people.
Li Xi grabbed Gu Changqing's arm and leaned close together.
"We can't afford to make the mistake of Chen Changxue. ”
Gu Changqing nodded, and the two pretended to be an old couple and walked out hobbly.
In the crowd, the actions of the two are exactly the same as these ordinary people, and they can't be distinguished from each other from the outside.
Sure enough, until the two of them walked out of the city, no one followed behind.
Qian He kept staring at the ready-to-wear store, and he didn't see Gu Changqing and Li Xi come out for a long time, he looked at the people who came out of the ready-to-wear store one by one, but he didn't find the two of them.
After thinking about it for a long time, Qian He came to his senses.
"Why am I so stupid!"
The target is lost, and it is already difficult to find it again.
After leaving the city, Gu Changqing and Li Xi immediately separated.
Li Xi said: "What's the matter? Our disguise is much better than Chen Changxue, right?"
Gu Changqing didn't speak, his eyes looked at a wooden shed outside the city, and his expression was a little unnatural.
Li Xi hurriedly said: "Did you lose it?"
"No, Chen Changxue and his master are not far ahead. ”
"And who are?"
She followed Gu Changqing's gaze and saw that there was an old man and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy under the wooden shed.
"Is there anything strange about them?"
Gu Changqing shook his head: "Maybe it's a mistake, let's follow it." ”
When he walked through the wooden shed, Li Xi took a special look again and found that the little boy's face seemed to be very familiar.
Suddenly, she came to her senses.
"That's not ......"
