Chapter 29 (12)

Although Xuan Shuang has little experience in the rivers and lakes, he is very old and sophisticated, and he did not enter her trap at this time, and said: "Oh, in short, you must have beaten those old masters who left the rivers and lakes all over the place to find teeth, it is really happy! It turns out that your real ability is not as good as mine, and when you go out in the future, you have to brag, and see who dares to look down on me? It's a pity that you are using the nominal identity of a demon witch, and you can't show my imperial authority." Otherwise, I have to let them see that this invincible little woman is our maid of the Qing Dynasty. A mere maid is already like this, not to mention those military attachΓ©s and generals who have made outstanding achievements? In the future, if anyone wants to rebel again, he will first compare with our palace maids. It's comparable, and his ancestors burned high incense. That's not busy, you might as well compare with the eunuch who came out of the clean room......"

Cheng Jiaxuan said in a low voice: "This is where Concubine Yun is clever. Planting blame, borrowing a knife to kill people, don't look at the Shadow Sacrifice Sect once made a name for it, in the end, it didn't cause public anger, and finally it was exterminated by the decent? There is nothing to brag about outside, especially my identity, let alone nonsense. You don't know how many people hate me, I was lucky to wear a veil at the time, but if I expose it now, even if I stay in the palace, I won't be able to stay safe. Didn't you see that the emperor could die at the hands of the assassins? The guards on his side were well guarded enough, right? The strong have their own strong players, not to mention that I am a powerless little palace maid......

Xuan Shuang laughed and said, "It's pitiful, if you shed a few more tears, maybe you can be more like." I mean, I'm here to trick you, with my ingenuity, I can't understand Eniang's intentions? Besides, now that I've raced the caged bird, how can I have a chance to break my mouth outside the palace? Hey, I will never harm you, but you don't believe me at all. Cheng Jiaxuan said: "That's good, you really want to scare me to death." ”

Xuan Shuang said: "If you can't stand the fright, how can you do it? You see, I'm better than you, you can go out and mess around without incident, so I don't have to worry about it." In the future, you either don't go, take me with you when you go, and I can pretend to be a little eunuch and go out of the palace. When I come back, I will never admit that you took me, how about it? Cheng Jiaxuan said: "Then I have to report to the mother first, I don't dare to make a claim." ”

Xuan Shuang said disdainfully: "It's really boring, and the courage is small." Cheng Jiaxuan said: "If you really want to be discovered, it is me who will be punished, not you, of course you are not afraid." It's useless to say anything now. ”

Xuanshuang sighed, deliberately pretending to be grief-stricken, trying to arouse sympathy. Helplessly, Cheng Jiaxuan was hard-hearted, and watched him cry out for heaven and earth with a smile, but he always refused to give in. Xuanshuang's fingers picked at the sand under his body, making his fingers dull and painful, but there was no blood. Without blood, it is not convincing, so I have to give up this bitter plan. Changing the subject, he said, "But it was a long time coming. Why haven't you ever come back to the palace?"

When Cheng Jiaxuan said this, her eyes lit up with excitement, and she said, "That's right, I was just about to tell you that I really ...... I'm so happy! Although the Shadow Cult is gone, it's not a bad thing for me, at least it's a blessing in disguise, and finally let him have a chance to know me, and I told him my name, and we talked a lot. Also, for more than a month, he and I stayed alone in a ruined temple on a barren mountain, getting along day and night, inseparable. It's a shame that nothing happened, but it's always gratifying. Later, when I went to Shaolin Temple to mourn my heart, he also took me, and he took me ......with me! He wants to talk to that Ji Sect Master fake phoenix, and he doesn't want me to see it, I can really understand him. He drove me back to the palace, and told me that I had tried to find the whereabouts of Broken Soul Tears and the Absolute Lyre......"

The more she talked, the more excited she became, but she didn't notice that Xuanshuang's face was darkening for a minute, and she felt that no one was bored, and said, "What's the matter? I said so much, why didn't you answer a word?"

Xuan Shuang was silent for a long time, and then he barely suppressed his anger enough to restrain him, and said coldly: "He is the enemy of my mother's family, what do you want me to say?"

Cheng Jiaxuan said: "We are good friends, and you have long known that I love him, so now that we have finally made a little progress, you should congratulate me a few words, this is enough buddy." ”

Xuanshuang snorted coldly a few times, and finally couldn't help Jiaxuan grind hard, and asked sullenly: "Then he...... How are you treated?"

Cheng Jiaxuan sighed and said seriously: "Although it is not very good now, I believe that as long as time passes, even if he is not moved by my true feelings, he will definitely be impressed by me and regard me as the most special existence in his mind." Well, yes, that's what should be called a confidante. Subconsciously raised his hand and looked at the scar on his wrist, and there was a little sweetness in his heart.

Xuanshuang sighed: "It's so stupid, it's so stupid, it's so stupid, it's so stupid that it's bubbling." But why am I such a fool?" I don't know if I was annoyed with Cheng Jiaxuan, or annoyed that I was not angry, my hands were folded behind my head, my back was facing the sky, and I lay down behind me, and sighed: "It's too stupid-" A black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, just made contact with his eyes, reacted very quickly, and immediately hid behind a tree, but he still saw it keenly, and shouted: "Who is it? Get out of here!" One turned his head up, pressed the hilt of the sword with his palm, and threatened: "If you don't come out again, you're welcome! The sword has no eyes, I'll tell you first." ”

With Lu Qian's ability, he instinctively shrank back in time when he turned back, but how could he expect that he and Cheng Jiaxuan would suddenly lie down if they had a good word. This time, his figure was completely revealed in his sight. I had to walk out from behind the tree with a dry smile, find the most clumsy lie, and said: "Ling Beile, I was looking for you everywhere, but I didn't expect to meet here, what a coincidence, what a coincidence, hehe." ”

Xuan Shuang clasped his hands on his shoulders and looked at him and just sneered. Slowly walked forward, leaned his back against the trunk of the tree, squinted his eyes and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu, you are not very clever in what you said. Even if they were looking for us, they would have arrived a long time ago. What's the matter, have you been squatting here for a while? What Xiao Xuan and I said probably gave you word for word. But we're a bit out of business, and we've never talked about your biggest concerns, so I'm sorry. ”

Lu Qian's face was sneering, but he still wanted to cover it up, and said, "What are you talking about?" Xuan Shuang sighed: "Hey, Lord Lu, you have come full circle, your face is not red and you are not panting, and you can also say that you have a lot of skills, so it is nothing." At the end of the day, it's your expression that's wrong. After looking for us for a long time, there was no surprise on his face, not to mention this, then there is no need to hide on the spot, unless you have a weak heart? You say, "Isn't there a ghost in your heart, but what is it?"

Lu Qian got married to Wry Smile today, and said, "Okay, you are amazing, I will obey you." But I did happen to pass by, and I saw that you and Xiaoxuan were intimate enough, and I thought that I would meet again after a long absence, and I, an outsider, still had some interest, so I didn't bother you. Since you mentioned it first, I happened to be in this light, so I will ask by the way. Ling Beile, they all say that you are a ready-made intelligence network, you know everything about the big and small things in this palace, you know everything, you know everything, five days later, Prince Fu's birthday, the banquet will show a big gift, do you know about this?"

Xuan Shuang said: "I've heard of it. Lu Qian was secretly overjoyed and said, "Okay, it's refreshing enough! So, what kind of gift is it, and it will definitely not be hidden from your clairvoyance and ears?" Xuan Shuang said: "I don't know. Lu Qian almost spurted a mouthful of blood for him, and said, "This time you are even more refreshed than just now, that's not good." How can this be? With your connections, it would be easy to find out about it, but would you be willing to be kept in the dark?"

Xuan Shuang said: "This kind of thing, as long as everyone in the know strictly keeps it a secret and doesn't say it, there is no way to investigate." However, you can always see it in five days, so why bother now? At that time, the emperor will not just be well-informed about you, so he will praise you a few more words and reward you with something. I never waste manpower on such inconsequential things. Those subordinates are also human beings, and they also have their own leisure time, and if you push others too hard, they will be dissatisfied, and over time, their loyalty to you will gradually weaken until it completely fades, and then the gains outweigh the losses. I have always been very kind to my subordinates. oppresses people with power, and his subordinates are unconvinced, and they dare not openly argue with you, but if they don't report it, no one will be able to control him. That's a lot of mistakes. ”

Lu Qian smiled: "It's you who are too lenient with them." It's not that I'm verbose, someone who came here will give you a sincere word, jade can't be made, and these subordinates can't be talented, so they have to do a good job of rules. As the saying goes, 'no rules, no rules', you have to make them completely obey you, and they don't dare to think about it. I think that when I was in Qingtianzhai, I was a strict emperor, and at that time the discipline was strict, pointing to the east and the east, pointing to the west and west, so that he faced south, and he did not dare to face north. Go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, all by my words. That's why I can become the No. 1 gangster in martial arts. ”

Xuan Shuang nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, it is indeed very obedient." Usually seems to be submissive, and I don't dare to say more than half a word, and then the tribulation is the first to see the truth, Cheng Er is in charge of the rebellion, killing several old brothers in the village, to curry favor with the enemy; you finally put the overall situation first, and accept Zhao'an, but all the brothers hate you to death, Qi brush's betrayal, and they used to parade up for drills, but they were not so neat, right? Yes, you look at this rule, no one is different from you, it is really not unsuccessful, I really admire. ”

Lu Qian looked embarrassed and said, "Master Ling, I know that you are eloquent, so I will confess to you, I want to borrow some people from you to do two things for me." One is the task given to me by your mother, asking me to investigate the genealogy of the four major families and persuade the young son of the original family to do things for the imperial court. Second, it's a small private matter, I have a companion named Nangong Xue, she ran out in anger a few days ago, and she has not disappeared so far, I want to ask Ling Xiaoye to send someone to inquire for me a little. ”

Xuan Shuang raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "What I learned from you: I won't do anything that is not beneficial." First of all, what price should you offer me?"

Lu Qianquan didn't realize it, lowered his voice, pretended to be mysterious, and said, "Doing me this favor won't hurt you." Nangong Xue is your master Li Yijie's horse, he is not thinking about tea for his sister these days, you ask him about it, it is the master's filial apprentice......" Xuan Shuang said impatiently: "Don't mention Li Yijie to me, I don't recognize him as my master." He doesn't think about tea and dinner, it's just right, then there is no extra leisure to toss me, I am happy, what's wrong?"

Lu Qian smiled and said, "Okay, good, it's not Master." It's just that I want to ask you for a favor, but I'm really desperate, so I'm begging you. ”

Xuan Shuang put on a clear face and said with a smile: "Yes, then you should tell the truth earlier, wouldn't it be okay? I'm not an unreasonable person." His face was full of profundity and circled around the tree, while he couldn't stop his head, Lu Qian's heart was also carried by him. Finally Xuanshuang stood still and said, "The first thing is that my mother handed it over to you, not for me." I'm not your subordinate, and I'm not obligated to do it for you. The second thing is a private matter, I don't have a deep friendship with you, and there is no need to help you. Sorry. ”
