Chapter 266: A Sword in the Throat
The man's face showed gratitude: "Thank you for the shopkeeper's kindness, in vain, Chu is really uneasy." ”
The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Where is it, it's just a meal, why should the guest be so polite?"
The man smiled and said, "I haven't consulted the shopkeeper yet, what is your pedigree called?"
The shopkeeper's face turned red: "I'm just a businessman, how can there be any pedigree that doesn't have a pedigree." Under the surname Cui, the name Zhou Ping. People are used to calling me Shopkeeper Cui. ”
The man smiled: "Look at me, it's really rude to come in for so long and not be able to let Shopkeeper Cui sit down." I'm alone, if Shopkeeper Cui doesn't dislike it, can we eat together?"
The smile on the shopkeeper Cui's face was even stronger: "Since you have been warmly invited, you will be disturbed in the future." So saying, he sat down next to the table.
The two sat down and began to eat and talk. At the beginning, the two of them were polite, you have a drink, and I am polite. Within a quarter of an hour, the two of them began to push the glasses and change the glasses, and the wine was cheerful.
When he was slightly drunk, the man said indifferently: "Jiangning Mansion is really a good place. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the people are outstanding, no wonder Jin Liangtong wants to open this Pengyuan Inn here. ”
Cui Zhouping's face changed, and then he smiled: "Lord Liu, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
The man was not surprised, and said with a slight smile: "Yes, it is Liu Jingxuan below." ”
Cui Zhouping smiled mysteriously: "Lord Liu, although you and I have never met, your name has long been thunderous and bright in the sky all over Jiangsu. Your Excellency, you are an honest official and care for the people. In order to retreat the flood, he is not afraid of life and death, and he is indomitable. Yangzhou Mansion and even Jiangsu Road, no one clapped their hands to praise Lord Liu. But I heard that you died violently in Yangzhou and built a lonely tomb outside the city. Why did the adults suddenly board the door of the Xia Pengyuan Inn today?"
Liu Jingxuan shook his head, sighed, and said, "This matter is a long story, and I ask for the forgiveness of the shopkeeper Cui." ”
Cui Zhouping saw that Liu Jingxuan deliberately concealed it, so he didn't say anything more.
Liu Jingxuan asked softly: "May I ask Shopkeeper Cui, where is Chu Jinglian now?"
Cui Zhouping thought for a while and said, "The pavilion master has left Jiangning Mansion and gone to Yunnan. ”
Liu Jingxuan couldn't help but be stunned: "Why is this going to Yunnan?"
Cui Zhouping hesitated for a moment and said, "Since the Lord of Chu Pavilion instructed him before leaving, saying that you are not an outsider, then I will tell you bluntly." Now the rivers and lakes are rumored, and the dog's tooth charm has reappeared in the rivers and lakes, saying that it is now in the hands of Miao Wang Ye Maha in Miao Village, Yunnan. When the pavilion master heard this, he immediately set off for Miaojiang. ”
Liu Jingxuan nodded, and then asked softly, "But I wonder if the thing is still in the Pengyuan Inn?"
Cui Zhouping nodded and said, "My lord, sit down for a while, and then go and get it here." ”
With that, Cui Zhouping turned around and walked out of the door. In less than half a pillar of incense, Cui Zhouping walked into the door with a long baggage.
"Your Excellency is in a hurry, right?" Cui Zhouping handed the burden to Liu Jingxuan.
Liu Jingxuan took the burden and opened it to see that it was the silver rainbow sword inside.
Liu Jingxuan said with some admiration: "I didn't expect that I, Liu Jingxuan, would eventually take this path." ”
Cui Zhouping and Liu Jingxuan drank for a while, and there was a sound of the second watch outside.
Cui Zhouping got up and left his seat, and said with some drunken eyes: "It's not early, adults should rest early." I took my leave under it. With that, Cui Zhouping bowed his hand to Liu Jingxuan, and then staggered out of the door.
Liu Jingxuan hugged his fist at Cui Zhouping and said, "Thank you Cui shopkeeper, I won't send it far." ”
Cui Zhouping raised his right arm and shook it, and continued to walk out. A moment later, the two men hurried into the house, removed the remnants of the round table, closed the door, and quietly left the house.
Liu Jingxuan came to the bedroom, took off his coat and boots, then put the silver rainbow sword beside him and slowly collapsed on the bed. The fear of many days disappeared at this moment, coupled with the wind and dust all the way, he was really tired, Liu Jingxuan dipped his head on the pillow and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but the window paper in the bedroom gradually turned a little white. Liu Jingxuan felt very thirsty in his mouth, and he wanted to get out of bed and drink herbal tea. Suddenly, he was startled and found that his hands and feet were firmly tied to the bed board with ropes. Liu Jingxuan just wanted to break free of the rope, and suddenly, a bright sword was placed on Liu Jingxuan's neck. Liu Jingxuan was motionless for a moment.
A head poked into the white curtain, and said with a hint of banter: "Liu Jingxuan, you made it so hard to find this palace!"
Liu Jingxuan was already sleepy at this time, and through the faint light from the window, he could clearly see a beautiful face. Under the crooked eyebrows, a pair of phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light. The smile on the corner of his mouth was full of infinite killing intent.
Liu Jingxuan calmed down and said lightly: "It turned out that Her Royal Highness the princess arrived, and I missed the welcome, so please forgive me." ”
Chun Yu smiled slightly: "Liu Jingxuan, you are like this, what are you still polite with this palace?"
Liu Jingxuan blinked and said with a smile: "Your Highness is the proud daughter of the sky, and she didn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran to a man's room. It's good to say it's good to spread it!"
Chun Yu "giggled" and laughed, his voice was like a silver bell, and his breath was like an orchid, which made Liu Jingxuan very unnatural.
"Liu Jingxuan, do you really think that you still have a chance to spread the word about it? After a while, this palace will send you to Western Bliss. Chun Yu looked at everything in the bedroom and sneered: "Only your body will be left here, but there will be no trace of the palace." ”
Liu Jingxuan moved his body and said, "Then why doesn't Her Royal Highness the princess do it yet?"
Chun Yu picked up the sword, gently stroked the sword body, and said coldly: "There are a few things that the palace has not yet understood, I wonder if Lord Liu can tell the truth?"
Liu Jingxuan smiled slightly: "Since you want to kill me, how can I tell the truth? When His Highness understands everything, it will be on the day when he goes on the road." ”
Chun Yu sat lightly on the edge of the bed and slashed around Liu Jingxuan's body with his sword: "Liu Jingxuan, you really didn't disappoint this palace. It's all like this, and you have to play with this palace. ”
Liu Jingxuan shook his head effortfully: "If Her Royal Highness the princess can let me go, I will definitely tell you the truth." ”
A sneer appeared on Chun Yu's face: "This palace doesn't believe it. Stop talking about what you don't have. Liu Jingxuan, you were obviously given to death by my father's poisonous wine, why are you still alive and decent?"
Liu Jingxuan had completely calmed down at this time, and he clearly saw that what Chun Yu was holding in his hand was his Silver Rainbow Sword.
Chun Yu wore a navy blue robe today, with rows of bone buttons and a large oily braid hanging down the back of his head. Clearly dressed as a woman dressed as a man.
