Chapter 70: Spying on the Shadows

Twilight is coming, the lights are on, the wind is blowing, at the corner of the alley opposite the Pingju Inn, a dark shadow is watching the Pingju Inn closely according to the corner, he wears a hat, wrapped in a wide cloak and cloak, his body and face are hidden in the hat and cloak, so that people can not see clearly, he stares at the opposite Pingju Inn hall motionlessly, and in the dim night, it is impossible to distinguish that there is an uninvited guest hidden there.

I don't know when, a person quietly approached behind the uninvited guest, patted him lightly on the shoulder with his hand, and said softly, "If you come, you will be safe, since Miss Lu has arrived in front of the inn, why don't you go in and sit for a while, I have been observing you for a few days." ”

The identity of the uninvited guest was revealed, he trembled, calmed down for a while, calmly took off the hat, and his waterfall-like hair rolled down, with an apricot blossom face and spring waves in his eyes, as if he was a beautiful and beautiful woman, but it was Lu Xiaohong, the 'Race Peony' of Luoyang City.

Lu Xiaohong didn't need to look back, she knew that it was the 'sad prodigal son' Jiang long-cherished wish, but she still turned her head to look at the other party, in the hazy night, the person was in a gray thick velvet thread coat, a cooked belt around his waist with a suede dart bag, a wine gourd, a copper flute on his back, sideburns flying next to his ears, a little sparse, a little haggard, exactly. Sad prodigal son' Jiang long-cherished wish, to be honest, Lu Xiaohong sincerely admires this down-and-out man in her heart, his kind of infatuation that is only sad for one person and only for a wandering person is the pursuit that countless women dream of, and she respects him very much.

Jiang Shuyuan put on a gesture of invitation, and said in a friendly manner, "Miss Lu, please! Farewell to Jinling City in the south of the Yangtze River, we haven't met yet, since we meet tonight, let's have a few drinks." ”

Lu Xiaohong was a little embarrassed and helpless, but she still had to follow Jiang Shuyuan into the Pingju Inn opposite.

In the inn hall, Jian Nanhong, Qu Ling'er, and Tongzhong were still drinking and chatting, and suddenly saw Jiang Shuyuan walking in with Lu Xiaohong, everyone was very surprised, because Jiang Shuyuan went to the back of the store just now, only to say that he was going to the convenience, but he didn't expect him to bring in Lu Xiaohong from outside the front door, Qu Ling'er immediately got up to greet Lu Xiaohong, and exclaimed in surprise, "Alas, it's Sister Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time, what kind of wind is blowing you!" She hurriedly took the hat for Lu Xiaohong, and put the cloak aside.

Lu Xiaohong smiled bitterly, sat down beside the sea table with a smile, and Jiang Shuyuan shouted to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, quickly add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and serve a jar of good wine!"

Qu Ling'er saw that Lu Xiaohong looked down, and seemed to be unhappy, or she was soaked in the wind and snow outside, and she was a little timid, so she hurriedly brought a pot of charcoal fire for her and put it behind her, wanting to warm her body and relax her heart.

After a while, the shopkeeper and Xiao Er sent steaming dishes and hot wine, and the shopkeeper was familiar with the temperament of these Jianghu people who were addicted to alcohol, so there were existing hot wine dishes on the stove at any time.

Jiang Shu was willing to pour a full glass of wine for Lu Xiaohong and the others and himself, and then raised the wine glass to Lu Xiaohong and said, "Miss Lu, after bidding farewell to Jinling City, the years have passed, and a period of time has passed unconsciously, today we are destined to meet again in Kyoto, and on behalf of all of you here warmly welcome the arrival of the girl, come!

Everyone also raised their wine glasses to Lu Xiaohong, Lu Xiaohong was a little moved, with tears in the corners of her eyes, she raised her wine glass, lightly opened her lips, and drank the wine in the cup in one go.

Jian Nanhong, Qu Ling'er, and Tongzhong everyone toasted her a glass of wine one after another, Lu Xiaohong drank it all, and Qu Ling'er was busy putting some vegetables in her bowl, and asked her with concern where she had gone these days and what she had done, and she kept asking.

Although the scene is much more cordial and warm, Lu Xiaohong is always frowning and sad, and answering Qu Ling'er's questions is also fragmented and confused.

After drinking for a while, Jiang Shuyuan suddenly said to Lu Xiaohong, "Miss Lu, you are a simple and kind girl, but it is precisely because of your simplicity and kindness that you are likely to be taken advantage of??????" His words were deliberately sharp, clearly hinting at something.

Lu Xiaohong was shocked when she heard this, and she trembled inadvertently, but still asked rhetorically, "What does Jiang Daxia mean by this?"

Qu Ling'er and Jian Nanhong also felt that Jiang Shuyuan's words were a bit presumptuous, and everyone looked at Jiang Shuyuan with some reproachful eyes to see how he answered.

Jiang Shuyuan drank the wine in the toast unhurriedly, and poured the wine in the cup before replying, "Miss Lu, there is no malice in the next place, just a matter of facts, in fact, I already knew that you came to Kyoto, and I also knew that you were working hard every day to closely watch every move of the Pingju Inn, and also knew that you were in a secret residence in the suburbs, you and Murong Junnan secretly got along, he would occasionally come to live with you for a night, every time he came, it was the dead of night, the hat and cloak were tightly wrapped, and it was very hidden??????"

Lu Xiaohong's face suddenly turned red to her neck, an unmarried lady, secretly having a tryst with a man, being exposed, naturally how ashamed and embarrassed, she was embarrassed, she wished that there was a crack in the ground to be able to get in.

Qu Ling'er, Jian Nanhong was very surprised by Jiang Shuyuan's words, secretly stalking and peeping at the girl behind her back, and then revealing the girl's privacy secrets, this is definitely not the behavior of the prodigal hero? Even Tong Zhong felt that in front of so many people, exposing the girl's privacy secret, how could the girl stand it, this was not the husband's doing, Qu Ling'er glared angrily, and wanted to seek justice for Sister Lu.

Jiang Shu's eyes were shining, sharp and bright, and he continued, "Miss Lu's infatuation is rare and valuable, you were actually instructed by Murong Gongzi to come to detect and monitor the Pingju Inn, you don't understand the severity of this, tell you! At a dinner party in Liugong's Mansion in Jinling City, Jiangnan, Liu Yigong invited Lord Zhu, the commander of the Jinyi Guards of the Imperial Court, and two Jinyi Guards to lead the banquet, and during the banquet, you quietly slipped into the kitchen and placed the drug that Murong Gongzi gave you, which is the unique drug of the Southern Xinjiang Paradise Gate. 'Broken Soul Ying Holy Water', colorless and tasteless, but the medicine is fierce and deep, everyone has been drugged one after another, lost their strength, and some even fainted, fortunately, Miss Qu's mother is a person in the Paradise Gate, and Miss Qu naturally has an antidote on her, so she lifted the ban for everyone, Miss Lu, do you know the consequences of your doing?"

Lu Xiaohong hesitated for a moment, but still admitted softly, "But Murong Gongzi said at the time that it was just an ordinary drug, he couldn't get used to seeing those court officials flying and domineering, and he just wanted to get them drunk as soon as possible." ”

Lu Xiaohong actually admitted that he had been drugged when he was entertaining Lord Zhu in Jinling City's Liugong Mansion, which was due to Qu Ling'er and Jian Nanhong's expectations, and at this time he also understood that Jiang Shu's wish to do this must have a deeper meaning, no matter what, the original suspense has now been released, and it is also happy.

Jiang Shuyuan smiled bitterly and continued; The stakes of this are naturally unknown to the girl Lu, just as everyone has been drugged one after another, the millions of military salaries and silver of the imperial court were robbed by the Heavenly Demon Mystery Palace of the underworld, and countless officers and soldiers were killed and injured in the forbidden land of the government and the silver treasury, and it almost made the imperial court Jinyiwei and the Jiangnan martial arts people turn against each other, but fortunately, Miss Qu solved the drug for everyone in time, and Lord Zhu and the two commanders also understood the matter, and everyone thought about the overall situation, so they resolved the misunderstanding, and also made concerted efforts to recover this batch of military salaries and silver, ensuring the safety of the border barracks, and did not cause a catastrophe, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable??????”

"Is it so serious?" Lu Xiaohong muttered quietly, her face had turned from red to white, and she shivered and picked up her wine glass and drank it herself.

Jiang Shuyuan stood up, picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Lu Xiaohong and himself, put down the wine jug and sat back in the seat, sighed heavily and said again; Soon after this incident, Zai Xia got evidence that you went into the kitchen to get drugged, and Zai Xia also followed and monitored you for a period of time, and did not find any abnormalities in your contact with the underworld sect, so he determined that you were instructed by Murong Gongzi, Murong Junnan pursued Liu Chan'er and failed, and was angry with Nanxiu Gongzi, and borrowed your subordinates to drug it, the purpose was to separate Nanxiu Gongzi and Liu Yigong and the imperial court Jinyiwei, so that they could form an estrangement and misunderstanding, and Nanxiu Gongzi could no longer establish a foothold in Liugong's mansion, which can be regarded as a general jealousy and revenge behavior by love and hatred, and he did not delve into it further??????”

Jiang Shuyuan said this, paused for a while, he took a sip of wine and continued, "But this time is different, after arriving in Kyoto this time, you must have been instructed by Murong Gongzi again, and have been tracking and monitoring our whereabouts at Pingju Inn, I guess that Murong Gongzi instructed you to do this, just to get the news of Nanxiu Gongzi's recent exchanges with Yanxiang Princess Ouyang Jinzhu, so as to take revenge on Nanxiu Gongzi, but you made a mistake, and you were so wrong!" This matter is not so simple, when you were tracking and monitoring the Pingju Inn, you accidentally found that you and Nanxiu Gongzi met with a strange scholar and his entourage in the suburbs, you told Murong Junnan the news, but this time you made a big mistake, an immeasurable mistake! Because of your news, this scholar and his two scholars have been criticized and executed by the Demon Palace, this scholar has infiltrated the Demon Palace to be an undercover agent for the righteous path of martial arts, how much we and the Iron Alliance need the news of the whereabouts of the Demon Palace now, but such a chivalrous and courageous outstanding hero was ruined in the mouth of a simple and kind girl like you, how can it not be heartbreaking??????" Jiang Shuyuan was already full of emotion at this time, and he couldn't control his emotions a little.

It turned out that the cause of Lin Langongzi's death was noticed by the weak girl in front of him, and then told Murong Junnan the news, and Murong Junnan then told the Demon Palace, so Lin Langongzi was killed, so according to Jiang Shuyuan's sequential speculation, needless to say, Murong Junnan is an undercover agent of the Demon Palace lurking in the righteous path of martial arts, Lin Langongzi's death, this Lu Xiaohong can't get rid of it, Jian Nanhong was angry at the top of his head, and his blood was boiling, but he still forcibly endured it and listened to them continue to talk.
