Chapter Twenty-Five: Unpredictable
25. The night is as cool as water, Qu Gao walks down the city wall, and his mind is chaotic.
Wang Shou acquiesced, he recognized himself early in the morning, but he still picked up the sword, and his moves were all killing intent that left no stone unturned.
At that moment, Qu Gao really felt that Wang Shou wanted to get rid of him, if he hadn't been restrained by Qu Gao, I was afraid that the battle between the two would not stop, right?
Then why did he leave this sword again? He also killed Lu Wending with his own hands? Was it because he felt guilty because he was told to do so, so he took the initiative to take responsibility and left Lu Lijian to comfort Qu Gao?
Qu Gao hoped that this was not the case, he would rather choose to believe that Wang Shou did not recognize him before, all this was really a misunderstanding, but why did he not want to explain, even if he only said that it was not, Qu Gao would treat it as if nothing had happened, but ......
That's it, don't think about it, now the city gate has been keyed, you can't go back, Qu Gao walked towards the east dock of the city, but he was worried about where the king would go, and whether he would encounter danger?
When we arrived at the wharf, when we had already passed, there was still some noise in front of the wharf, and when we got closer, it turned out that a few boatmen were teasing a singer, and the boatmen were eating wine and food, and let the singers sing for fun, and the singers sang a song, and the boatmen applauded, and asked her to sing another song of "Xing Boudoir Music", which was originally an obscene song, and sang in front of everyone, what kind of system did it become? The woman was also very shy, and the boatmen added silver money, and the woman also let go, and one tone at a time, which directly aroused people's lust.
Qu Gao listened to the emotionless obscene voice, and was a little sentimental for a while, the woman was only twenty years old, she should have gotten married and had children, but she showed up all day long, in order to earn more money, she didn't care about face or anything.
Qu Gao didn't look down on the singer, he even admired a little, this kind of person who can survive independently in troubled times is worthy of respect, even if he suffered humiliation for a while, but in terms of life, what is it?
Because there are passenger ships and merchant ships that come in the middle of the night at the wharf, the inns and restaurants in this area are not closed at night, Qu Gao also ordered some wine and food, and his ears are the gossip of the boat men in the market, they are rough men, what they think in their hearts, what they say, although it is a little unbearable, but there is no need to guess that it is true. It's good to be able to live so really! Qu Gao poured himself a drink, and gradually became drunk.
When he woke up, Qu Gao was lying in a guest room, his night clothes were gone, and there was a stack of clean red robes on the table, and next to him was Lu Li's sword where only the handle was visible. Qu Gao was suspicious in his heart: He was drunk last night, who sent him to the tenant?
Just when he was confused, Xiao Er knocked on the door and asked, "Childe, are you up?" It's almost noon. Qu Gao got up and got dressed, opened the door, and asked, "Little brother, who sent me here last night?"
"He's a handsome man! as handsome as a child! and he's dressed in black. Xiao Er thought about the person's appearance, didn't know how to describe it, and said: "I've grown so big, I've never seen such a handsome pair of Langjun." ”
Qu Gao used the food, his head was still a little drowsy, and he walked back towards Xiangyang City. According to the shopkeeper, it should be that Wang Shou is good, but why did he appear at the dock, was it a coincidence? Or did he follow him all the time.
Qu Gao was even more puzzled, Wang Shou obviously wanted Lu Lijian very much, and even assassinated the Lu Sect Master alone for ten thousand taels of silver, and he really wanted to kill himself, why did he leave Lu Li behind? If it was because he was defeated by Qu Gao in the fight last night, then Qu Gao could have solved it casually when he was drunk, so that not only did he get Lu Lijian, but no one would ever know this secret. Qu Gao became more and more incomprehensible.
"Phew!"
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Zhongli Jun came up with a team of knights, saw Qu Gao, turned over and dismounted, and said, "Jun'er greets uncle." ”
Seeing his serious expression, Qu Gao asked, "What's wrong?" Zhong Lijun replied: "Last night, Lu Wending, the sect leader of the Lu clan, was killed, and General Li ordered Jun'er to investigate. ”
Qu Gao said: "Lu Wending was killed in the north of the city, what are you doing at the east gate?" Zhong Lijun was shocked, his eyes were condensed, and he doubted: "How does my uncle know that Lu Wending was killed in the north of the city?"
Qu Gao was stunned, and he felt speechless, this wine strength has not passed, and his head is not good. After estimating the time, Qu Gao replied: "What kind of person is Lu Wending, how can I not know about his death?" Zhong Lijun nodded, and said: "The coroner said that Sect Master Lu died about last night, when the city gate was closed, Jun'er guessed that after the thieves killed Sect Master Lu, they would definitely go to the east dock of the city, so they hurried to inquire about clues. Where did my uncle come from?
Qu Gao had a smile on his face, Zhong Lijun had such a thought, and he felt comforted in his heart. However, now that Zhong Lijun's mind was about to be calculated on his head, he was secretly a little annoyed. This bear child has been a soldier for half a year, his eyebrows have become more and more heroic, and his figure has become stronger, patted him on the shoulder, and Qu Gao said: "If you want to check, you can check, don't ask me." He was afraid that if he said a few more words, Zhongli Jun could really get the words out of his mouth, and after speaking, he went into the city.
Before he took a few steps, he suddenly heard Zhong Lijun order: "You go to the north of the city to check, and I will go to the dock alone." The corners of Qu Gao's mouth were slightly raised, half of his face was sideways, and he smiled deeply at Zhong Lijun.
Back at home, Zhang was walking in the courtyard, and when he saw Qu Gao, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The husband has not returned overnight, and the concubine is very worried." Qu Gao smiled and said, "Don't worry! Zhang said: "I have been moving a lot these days, this child must be a kid, just like his father, he is restless." Qu Gao's heart was warm, and he gently hugged Zhang's in his arms and imprinted a kiss on Zhang's forehead.
