44, Chapter 44

"Hidden tent" 44

Yun Xiu looked surprised, his eyes seemed to stick to the door panel, and said to Qin Yi who was rushing to Shanshan: "Why is the master so anxious? Something happened?"

Qin Yi opened his mouth, but didn't know where to start.

It's really strange that these two people who are indisputable have become involved with a piece of jade. It's really incredible.

At this time, with a "wash", the door of the house was pushed open until the wall board bounced back and was about to close.

This movement is really not small.

The person half curled up on the edge of the bed suddenly woke up. Her legs were still under the bed, and her embroidered shoes had not yet been removed. Before her eyelids were separated, she stood up hurriedly.

She rubbed her eyes, "Crown Prince? Are you going to rest? I will lie down again after I quilt."

After saying that, she was sleepy and wanted to bend down to pat the mattress that was lying wrinkled by her.

But before his body could be fully moved, someone grabbed his forearm. The strength was not light, which completely woke up the confused little girl.

She turned her head and saw a transparent jade pendant in front of her.

"Do you recognize it?" Lu Jiuxiao stared at her.

Chen Shiqi was stunned for a moment and stared blankly.

"How could this jade be in the hands of the prince?"

Lu Jiuxiao looked a little anxious, and the force on his hands could not help but heavier, but he didn't know at all and just consulted: "How did it come from? Where did it come from? Tell me carefully."

Seeing him like this, she probably guessed that this jade was very important to him. Although she was curious about the reason, she did not ask more questions inappropriately, and only thought about it with her eyebrows for a few moments.

It was really a long time ago. She was too young at that time and her memory was a little blurry.

I vaguely remember that it was a heavy snowy day. The city was covered with heavy snow, so it was inconvenient to travel. Chen Wang had a high fever, and it was inconvenient for my father to go home in the wind and snow. Don’t mention bringing her with her, so that she could be kept in the medicine shop for the time being. The neighbors around the neighbors would never lose her.

The guy from the medicine shop went to the backyard to watch the fire and pharmacy, so she copied the calligraphy on the counter table in the front store.

Soon, a graceful figure fell in front of the shop door, and a man in a fox fur stepped in through the snow.

Looking back now, she had long forgotten the man's appearance, but she vaguely remembered that he was an extremely handsome man.

Lu Jiuxiao frowned, "What are he going to do?"

"Buy medicine. Ginseng, Suye, Poria, ginger and tangerine peel."

The reason she remembered clearly was that it was the first time Shen Shizi gave people medicine, and the medicine grid where the ginseng was placed was really high, so she took it off by stepping on a wooden bench.

"When it was time to pay the bill, the young man said that he had forgotten to bring the money bag, so he took off the jade on his waist, saying that he had temporarily left it here, and then I handed the jade over to Ah Niang for safekeeping."

"What else? What did he say to you?"

Chen Shishi paused and thought about it carefully, but he really couldn't think of a word.

"Then where did he go after he bought the medicine?" This was really a bit difficult. How could an eleven-year-old girl know where he went after buying the medicine?

Chen Shiqi was frightened by the stare in his eyes and stepped back, pushing him to the wrist that tightened her forearm.

Lu Jiuxiao was stunned, glanced at her thin arms, and his tight five fingers loosened.

"There's nothing else?"

She shook her head carefully.

The man looked a little frustrated, staring at her for a while, as if he was about to stare her out of a hole.

After a long time, he said, "If you think of something, remember to tell me."

When he was in a hurry, he responded.

Soon, he left behind.

Chen Shizi looked at the slender figure that had disappeared, forgot to move.

The first time she saw him so serious and serious, it was even more terrifying than the sarcastic couple on weekdays.

Suddenly, he rushed over by chance.

She looked up and down at the person in front of her, "Miss Chen, are you okay?"

Chen Shishi shook his head and asked her about the whole story.

Now that I have made a mistake to treat her as half of my master, I don’t hide it and sell Sun’s jade, briefly explaining the origin of the jade.

Chen Shishi was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that the jade had such a connection.

She paused and frowned, but why did Sun suddenly want to sell this piece of jade?

------------

forecourt.

Sun was frightened by Qin Yi not only for money, but also didn't dare to ask for Yu anymore. He just kept saying "the murderer" had nothing to do with her and left in a hurry.

Since she couldn't ask anything from this, Qin Yi let the person go.

Lu Jiuxiao lowered his head and stroked the jade pendant, his face dark and unremarkable.

As a congratulatory identity, what thing he has on his body is worthless? How could he put out the jade pendant he has cherished since childhood? It is impossible to think about it alone.

But he did put this thing here, why?

And what exactly is there in Jinzhou City that let him come here with a quick horse five days before going to the expedition?

When the battle was defeated, some court officials attributed this to the intention of communion and treason. Some even blamed him for the crime of collusion with the enemy and treason, and mentioned Jinzhou.

Everyone was puzzled. On the occasion of the war, General He hurried to Jinzhou, with his treacherous deeds. At that time, it was difficult not to think too much about it.

But there is no answer to this matter after all, dead people can't speak.

In order to find out this matter, Lu Jiuxiao sent someone to investigate, and even came in person, but he had no clue at all.

Why……

"Qin Yi." He tightened his palms and held the jade tightly, "You go check the Shen family, everyone, and the Shen family's medicine shop before."

Qin Yi immediately understood the intention and immediately received the order.

After a moment, Lu Jiuxiao left the door, went to the winery, and returned to Xian'an Lane, which was already the hour of Hai.

After three days of travel, he was eager to ask about the jade pendant. Prince Lu's eyes were already exhausted.

As soon as I stepped into the door of the house, I went straight to the backyard and bedroom.

The man pinched his eyebrows and pushed the door and entered. Only a candle was lit in the room, and the dim light shone out a bump on the mattress.

He was stunned for a moment before he remembered, Oh, there was someone in this room.

Moreover, her sleeping position was as in the afternoon, with her legs placed under the bed, her embroidered shoes not taking off, and only half of her body was nestled on the bed. It was a posture of ready to get up at any time.

Lu Jiuxiao approached and looked at her with his hands across the bed tent.

The mouth of the sandalwood opened slightly, her eyes closed tightly, and her nose was gently twitching during an exhalation and breath.

After a while, he whispered lightly, bent down and held the embroidered shoes under her feet, and gently stroked them, and the pair of shoes collapsed horizontally.

Lu Jiuxiao pushed her legs, and she lifted her feet onto the bed by herself.

He poked her back again, and she rolled into the inner side with her bedding in her arms.

The man seemed to have switches installed all over his body, and even his bones were very eye-catching. When you touched him, she would do it tactfully.

The forearm with the sleeves exposed was very eye-catching, with a circle of blue marks on the head, and it was obvious that it was picked up by someone who didn't know the importance of it.

Lu Jiuxiao narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand to rub it twice, and thought to himself, "It's really a maid who is a lady with a delicate skin and tender flesh, and he can't even pinch it. If you do it, you have to hold her to the sky?"

He felt a sarcastic feeling in his heart, and he fell asleep with the remaining half of the quilt.

The sky-neck clouds in Jinzhou are layered with layers of bright moon flowing with the clouds, as if you can see the entire Jinzhou City late at night, as well as the hidden and surprising dreams in the middle of the night...

Chen Shifeng turned over, and white mist suddenly appeared in front of his dark eyes, and snowflakes fell from the sky—

It seemed like Lu Jiuxiao's questioning today that she dreamed of the winter of that year five years ago. This time she saw clearly the appearance of the person coming.

He tied his hair with his jade crown, his white robe and narrow sleeves, and a tight fox fur coat was covered with. A few pieces of snow fell on his shoulders and turned into water, which quickly wet half of his shoulder clothes.

Sword eyebrows, starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, and a unique temperament, which is very different from the merchants in Jinzhou City. He has both heroic and scholarly spirit. There is a smile in his eyebrows and eyes, like a warm sun.

The young Shen Shifeng couldn't reach the medicine in the top grid, so he climbed up with a small stool. The man quietly held her back and said, "Be careful."

Afterwards, he took off the expensive jade on his waist and gave it to her, half-beared and said, "Get it done, and when I withdraw the money, I will come and redeem it."

Before leaving, he looked at the little girl's copied regular script and said with a smile: "The handwriting is well written, it's cold, and the little jacket is about to be tied tightly."

After saying that, he flipped over to the horse in front of the door and soon disappeared from Shen's medicine shop.

------------

At this moment, on the path from Jinzhou to Kyoto, a horse was moving forward quickly. After passing the Kyoto gate, he ran all the way to the back door of He Mansion.

In order not to disturb the people in the mansion, Chen Xu climbed over the wall.

When he walked to the backyard, he knocked on the door and said, "Sir."

After a moment, the door of the house was pulled open with a creaking sound. He Lin came out wearing a thin shirt and took a stack of letter paper from Chen Xu. He frowned and glanced at Chen Xu, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Xu was dirty and messy. He was usually following He Lin. He was also a handsome guy in neat clothes. At this moment, he was ragged in cloth and even his face was black, as if he had come out of the corner of the mountain.

But it is indeed.

A while ago, after receiving a sum of money from Prince Lu, their people were able to move in Jinzhou. After laying out a few spies and secret stakes, they realized that the Jinzhou prefect was secretly recruiting people to Fan'anshan. Chen Xu went to "apply for the job" without stopping.

As He Lin expected, the reason for the collapse of Fan'an Mountain was man-made. I don't know how much ore was hidden in the mountain. The mountain is almost dug through now, so it would be strange if it doesn't shake.

But they were really cautious. Entering inside was no different from going to a prison, and it was really difficult to come out. And according to Chen Xu's opinion, when the mining ended, those helpers received monthly money, and they couldn't say whether they had a life-saving expense.

In order not to alert the enemy, he even made a special scene of falling off the cliff and leaving no bones, and then he successfully escaped.

Chen Xu said: "Sir, no wonder so many prefects died and refused to investigate the collapse of Fan'anshan Mountain."

He Lin looked through the letter paper and said in a deep voice: "Purchasing private mines is for wealth, so where is such a large amount of silver?"

I think this ill-gotten fortune cannot be exchanged for silver notes, nor can it be placed in the hands of a small prefect, nor can it be transported back to the Duke's Mansion quietly, so the Li family also has a place to hide the cash silver.

He Lin closed the letter paper and said, "Let's go to bed first."

Chen Xu bowed and retreated.
