Early the next morning, the sun rose slowly in the eastern sky, illuminating the entire Luoyue City.
The people in the city went out one by one, went to work, went to the street, went out of the city... but didn't want to. Overnight, Luo Yuecheng, who was still beaming yesterday, seemed to have changed.
First, the city gate was blocked, and no one could get in or out.
Then came a team of royal guards and soldiers running around and searching from house to house.
Especially those inns and restaurants are the targets of the key search. It is like the Yunlai Inn near the city gate. A team of royal guards ushered in early in the morning.
The guards seemed to be coming from a violent wind, and they searched every room in the inn with great force. All the guests who came to Luoyue City for the first time were interrogated again and again, checking their directions, and then came to the first floor with mighty power. Lobby.
The shopkeeper accompanied him from start to finish, smiling at the headed guard: "Guardian Wang, you can rest assured! There are absolutely no suspicious people here! Most of the small shops are regular customers and occasionally strangers. Come to the store, the small one is also carefully checking the road leading."
Wang Guowei, the national character's face, still had a dignified face and commanded: "The shopkeeper, you must tell the second year to be more careful during this time, in case there is a suspicious person, especially when looking at the suspicious person who is not like our Dayu people. People, you must immediately send someone to sue the palace!"
The shopkeeper naturally responded, and then asked cautiously, "Wang Huwei, don't know what the hell happened? Look at it, even the city gates are closed today!" Even if there was Nanliang in Luoyue City before The presence of spies, that is, the rigorous investigations at the gates, will not block the gates. Could it be that things are more serious?
Thinking, the shopkeeper felt a little nervous.
The little two on the side couldn't help but insert a sentence: "The little heard that even the door of the palace is closed today..."
Not only the shopkeeper and Xiao Er were curious, but also the guests who were drinking tea and having breakfast in the lobby were puzzled, and they all raised their ears one by one.
After looking around the lobby for a long time, Wang Huwei said broadly: "It's okay to tell you, this Nanyue spies are mixed into Luoyue City..."
"What?!" The shopkeeper took a breath and blurted out. "But isn't Nanliang defeated?"
"That's it!" Wang Weiwei said angrily, "The Nanliang people can't beat our princes on the battlefield with real swords, actually sent spies into the city, secretly poisoned the prince of the prince, and harmed the prince. The concubine is seriously ill now and is dying..."
For a time, there was a series of pumping sounds in the lobby, and an old man with white hair clapped on the table and scolded: "The abominable Nanliang people actually used such a vicious trick!"
"A hundred-footed insect will not die until death!" another middle-aged scholar in a green robe angered indignantly. "Those people in Nanliang must not be defeated. They hate the prince of the world before they poison the prince of the world! It really is Hateful and hateful!"
"The prince concubine Ji has its own appearance, and will definitely not let the Nanliang thieves succeed!" Another big bearded man said with awe and arrogance.
"Yes!..."
There was a lot of noise and condemnation in the inn, and the people were all indignant.
Similar scenes didn’t just happen at Yunlai Inn. After just one morning, it spread to almost every corner of Luoyue City... which also includes a small tea shop on the roadside in the west of the city. Talking about each language, each one is filled with righteous indignation.
In the corner of the tea shop, a girl in a blue dress drank her tea with a half-faced face, and her pretty face was half-dark in the shadow of the tea shed.
If Xiao Ni is here, she will be able to recognize it at a glance.
Gu girl seems to be using tea casually, but is actually paying attention to the conversation around her.
She felt that something was not right early this morning. It was clear that Xiao Yi returned to victory yesterday. In just one night, the entire Luoyue City did not even have a trace of joy, but instead, there was a kind of stormy momentum.
The tea house and restaurant are always the easiest places to inquire about the wind. She has been sitting here for almost an hour, and she has heard a lot.
just……
How could Nangong Yue suddenly be bedridden?!
Gu girl's face sank like water.
Nangong Yue's death by poisoning did not benefit them at all, but it would affect the cooperation with Xiao Yi.Therefore, the medicine in the ring incense will not let Nangong Yue be fatally dangerous, and its weight is light. It was originally intended to wait patiently for the first half of the year and slowly use the special ring incense to emit the strange fragrance. Eroding Nangong Yue's body a little bit, damaging her organs, making her weak and weak...
Xiao Yi is the son of Zhennan Wang, the next king of Zhennan. He bears the heavy responsibility of passing on the lineage to the family of Zhennan Wangfu. Imagine if Nangong Yue slept again and again, could Xiao Yi be just like her?
What's more, Wuzi is one of Dayu's "seven outs".
Taking a step back, even if Xiao Yineng waited, could the king of Zhennan tolerate the next concubine who could not give birth to him?
Well, Xiao Yi wants to keep his position as a son of the world, and it is necessary to accept concubines...that is their chance of Baiyue!
It doesn't matter that Xiao Yi has the upper hand for the time being, but the future is important!
As long as the next king of Zhennan has their Baiyue lineage, this southern Xinjiang...No, this big Yu will be at your fingertips!
The plan of His Highness the Sixth Prince had been meticulous and thoughtful, but he did not know why there was such a sudden outburst?!
The only thing that can be thankful is that the guards of the Zhennan Royal Palace searched the city for “Nanliang spies”, but they didn’t even know that the person they were looking for was male, female, old or young, that is to say, there was a temporary work of “Nanliang”. With their shields, Xiao Ni should not be exposed...
For today's plan, you must get in touch with Xiao Ni... Ask her about the situation before you can decide what to do next.
Thinking of this, Gu girl narrowed her eyes slightly.
After she finished drinking tea, she stood up casually, said "checkout", dropped two copper plates, and left alone.
Gu girl walked along the street and was generous. Even if you met the guards of those royal palaces along the way, it was like ordinary people. You should avoid it, continue to move forward... This road is also very smooth, no one doubts. she was.
Gu girl's heart was more settled, and she randomly found a calligraphy and painting shop to enter... After a scent of incense, when she came out of it, there was an additional scroll in her hand.
After walking a few more streets, she came to a three-story building, and the dark red plaque was abruptly written: Huanxi Pavilion.
At this time, the Huanxi Pavilion seemed a bit deserted. Obviously, it was also affected by the martial law in the city today. Many girls in the mansion were afraid to cause trouble. They should not go out today.
"This sister," said Gu girl smilingly at a Cuiyi woman, "I don't know if Mrs. Jiang is here? I want to ask Mrs. Jiang one thing."
The woman in Cuiyi was the second son of Huanxi Pavilion. She also recognized the Gu girl who had saved Xiao Ni, and led the other party diligently to a room behind her to see Mrs. Jiang.
After the two met at the ceremony, Gu girl opened the door and came to the mountain with a clear intention: "Ms. Jiang, the last time Xiao Sanxiao asked me to find a painting for her, but I don’t know where Xiao Sanxiao’s house lives. Xiao San Xiao said, if so If you find something that could come to trouble Mrs. Jiang, you can hand it to me, so I took the liberty.
Mrs. Jiang was stunned, thinking that perhaps Xiaosan Xiao did not tell Gu Mai about her identity.That's just handing a picture, but it went hand in hand, so he smiled and quit.
So, Gu girl handed the painting shaft in a long box of red lacquered wood to Mrs. Jiang...
Less than an hour later, this long box of red lacquered wood that should have been sent to the second room arrived at Bixiaotang.
Bai Hui and Queer inspected the painting and searched the long box, but didn't see any patterns. Finally, Bai Hui put the back of the painting on a candle fire and baked it.
She respectfully presented it to Xiao Yi in the inner room.
After the fire roasting, a line of brown text appeared on the back of the painting, and Xiao Xiaoni met in Huanxi Pavilion today.
The fish is hooked!Xiao Yi raised his lips and said, "Go and bring Xiao Ni!"
Bai Hui went down, and soon invited Xiao Ni, who was "resting" in Bixiaotang last night.
It was only one night, Xiao Ni was sick and tired, and the whole person was completely out of spirit, and now there was a heavy shadow. Obviously, he didn't sleep last night.
Xiao Yi threw the painting axis at her hand, "Next!"
Xiao Ni caught the painting axis slightly embarrassedly, and after seeing the words on the back of the painting, the handwriting was unfamiliar, but the three words "Hunxi Pavilion" firmly attracted her attention.Could it be that……
Xiao Ni's eyes narrowed, and he looked up at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi's cold eyes are looking at her, and when the two people meet, Xiao Yi coldly said: "Xiao Ni, do you know what to do..."
Xiao Ni only felt that the other person's eyes were like swords, sharp and cold, she could not help shaking, her face was more white, almost white with little blood.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm down her mind, slowly saying: "Big Brother, please tell me, what should I do..."
After a cup of tea, Xiao Ni came out, and Sang Rou, who was behind her, was keenly aware that her girl's body was trembling continually, worryingly: "Girl..."
Xiao Ni raised his hand and interrupted Sang Rou, but said softly and firmly, "Come with me to change clothes." She was still wearing the same dress as yesterday, so she can't go out to meet the "guest".
Sang Rou nodded.
Xiao Ni changed her skin-dressing spring yellow prince, and asked Sang Rou to re-comb her meniscus and put on her makeup.
After staring at himself in the bronze mirror for a long time, Xiao Ni resolutely went out and got on a tent with Sang Rou.
Along the way, she was a little trance, a little absent-minded, and more anxious...
At Huanxi Pavilion, a woman in Cuiyi immediately brought the master and servant into the lobby.
Xiao Ni asked pretending to be casual, "I'll be here with Gu Girl for a while, will she arrive?"
The woman in Cuiyi shook her head and replied: "Miss Xiao, this morning, Ms. Gu had already been there. She also went to see Mrs. Jiang, and then left. But if you want a small one, please come over to Mrs. Jiang."
"No need." Xiao Ni said lightly, letting the other party lead her to the elegant seat she often went to.
After making tea, the lady in Cuiyi withdrew, leaving only the main servant Xiao Ni in the seat.
They didn't speak, and there was a silence in the room. Xiao Ni didn't even have the thought of drinking tea, but just sat there stunned, listening to the movement outside...
Time passed little by little, a cup of tea, a joss stick, half an hour, it was almost time to see it, and Gu girl never appeared.
Suddenly a strange noise sounded, as if something hit the window, Xiao Ni's eyes widened as if dreaming.
Sang Rou hurriedly said: "Girl, slave-servant went over to see."
Sang Rou walked quickly to the window and opened the window. The next moment, he saw a stone thrown in from the street. A naughty boy mischievously grimaced at her and ran away.
Xiao Ni stared at the stone rolling on the floor, or wrapped in a piece of silk paper outside the stone, without blinking.
She almost stood up, picked up the stone, and unfolded the crumpled silk paper on the outside. The silk paper was familiar with the handwriting, just like the handwriting left on the painting.
It's Gu girl.
Xiao Ni crumpled the paper into a ball after reading it and said, "She will arrive one hour later... Sang Rou, you can go and get me some porridge."
Sang Rou was startled, and said, "Girl, you haven't eaten since last night. Presumably you are hungry, and the slave-maid will go on."
Sang Rou walked downstairs hurriedly. After her footsteps went away, Xiao Ni suddenly moved. Instead of sitting down, she walked to the door and opened the door with a squeak.
She looked at the left and right corridors, and when she was sure that there was no one, she left the elegant seat. Without telling Sang Rou, she left Huanxi Pavilion alone, and walked to Zuixiao Tower.
Xiao Ni squeezed the paper ball in his hand. It was Gu girl's message, letting him go to the place where they met on the fifteenth day of the first month, and they must arrive within half an hour.
Xiao Ni gritted his teeth and walked away, Zuixiaolou was at least eight miles away from here, he didn't have much time...
Xiao Ni walked forward with all his might, sweating, and finally arrived on the drunk Xiaolou on time.
But Xiao Er said that she did not know Gu girl.
Xiao Ni can only go to the elegant seat on the second floor and wait...
This is another hour, unconsciously, the sky became dim.
Xiao Ni lost her soul, and wondered whether she should continue to wait until the sky was completely dark. She finally walked out of the drunk Xiaolou, thinking: Is it because she is one step late, so the girl Gu has gone... …
She had just crossed the threshold, and a little beggar slammed into it, causing her to stagger back.
"Girl, the little is not intentional!" The little beggar apologized with a bowed head, ran away like a fly, and disappeared at the corner of the street in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Ni was still confused, and Xiao Er came out kindly, reminding: "Girl, now many little beggars steal things through the opportunity of hitting people. It is best for girls to see if there is anything missing on their body?"
Xiao Ni subconsciously touched her purse hanging around her waist, staring down and looking down. Her things were not stolen, but there was something more in her belt—a folded note.
The handwriting is still familiar, so she went to the Shanfeng Pavilion at Shanhua Temple, which is a small temple just outside the street.
Although I don’t know if Gu Girl is playing any tricks, Xiao Ni has no other choice but to hurry up.
It was dark now, and quietly in the Shanhua Temple, Xiao Ni entered the monastery from the back door alone. There was no lights or people in the black yard in the backyard, only the breeze blowing the sound of the trees...
Xiao Ni suppressed his uneasiness and walked to the right according to the route drawn on the note. After a while, he saw an octagonal pavilion under an old banyan tree in front. A candle was lit in the pavilion, and the candlelight jumped. The pavilion was half bright and half dark, and there was a slim figure sitting in the pavilion.
Despite not seeing the other person's appearance, Xiao Ni has determined that it is her!
Xiao Ni's steps stagnate, and then continue to walk forward.
As she gradually approached, the description of the people in the pavilion became clear. Gu girl was sitting at the stone table in the pavilion, calmly playing with a ring, and when she saw Xiao Ni, she greeted : "Girl Xiao, please sit down."
Xiao Ni walked into the pavilion, didn't sit down, just stared at the other party with a dark, obscure eye.
Gu Gu didn't force her. She narrowed her eyes, raised her eyes sharply to Xiao Ni, and asked straightforwardly, "Miss Xiao, why are you suddenly martial law in the city today?"
Xiao Ni clenched his fist subconsciously. If it were not for this person, why would he be like this!
Xiao Ni returned with a blank expression: "Yesterday, my sister-in-law was suddenly seriously ill, but was found to be caused by poisoning. When her elder brother came back, she was furious..." , Excitedly raised her voice and asked, "Why is this?! Didn't you say that Huanxiang won't hurt your sister-in-law's life?" The more she said, the more emotional she was, her eyes were red, and her strength was getting bigger , Nails almost pinched into Gu girl's skin.
Gu girl frowned, stood up sharply, and waved her arms away from Xiao Ni.
Xiao Ni was already weak, and was thrown back by the other party. He stumbled back two steps. His body crooked and fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment.
Gu Gu lifted her chin slightly, looked down at Xiao Ni contemptuously, and said coldly: "Miss Xiao, I asked you to meet today, not to hear your complaint!" She approached Xiao Ni halfway and asked indifferently. , "How is the situation at the Wangfu now? ... Xiao Yi, did he doubt you?"
Xiao Ni pursed her lips. She propped her hand on the cold ground and tried to get up, but suddenly her body stiffened.
The next moment, her breathing became heavy, her body curled up like a shrimp, and it was pitiful like a kitten in the wind and rain.
Gu girl frowned at Xiao Ni, a little impatient, but she still had something to ask Xiao Ni.
"It's really troublesome."
Gu girl took out a small porcelain bottle from the purse, then crouched down, opened the stopper, and planned to feed Xiao Ni.
But she just squeezed Xiao Ni's chin and felt a burst of air breaking from behind, like the sound of an arrow piercing the air, causing the cold hair behind her neck to stand up instantly...
She was about to look back, and felt a strong impact on her back, accompanied by a sharp tingling...
bad!She counted!
how come?!She deliberately changed a few places, and chose the pavilion here, just to make sure there was no ambush.
but……
Her eyes stared at the boss, the blood on her face disappeared instantly, pale as paper.
She stared at Xiao Ni fiercely, her eyes filled with vicious hatred.
Xiao Ni... How dare she?!
"Boom!"
Gu girl fell heavily on the ground, and it seemed that even the dust on the ground flew up, and she saw a black iron arrow on her back.
Xiao Ni’s gaze passed through Gu Gu and looked at the back. A few feet away, two men in black leaped lightly from two big trees, one of them holding a crossbow. Shot from his hands.
The two strode toward this side one after another without expression.
The arrow of Tieya was coated with a special drug, and she instantly fainted.In order to prevent her from waking up and committing suicide, one of the men in black took off her chin neatly.
Xiao Ni slowly stood up, looked at the girl Gu who couldn't help but fell relieved.
Gu girl thinks her action is secret, but everything is in the big brother's expectations.
Whether it is Huanxi Pavilion, Zuixiao Tower, or Shanhua Temple, there is no ambush, but only two dark guards follow themselves to ensure that they can catch the girl...
Everything is so easy and simple, effortlessly, Gu girl fell into the trap.
In her eyes, Gu girl is as cunning as a fox, as vicious as a snake, just like a mountain that makes her breathless, but in front of her brother, Gu girl’s shameless tricks are nothing but worms shaking the tree, not worth it at all Mention.
Xiao Ni couldn't help but a thought: if she chose to tell her sister-in-law at first, would it be completely different now?
