Xi Honglei returned to the room and closed the door, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Xi Honglei strode to the bed and lay down on the bed. Thinking back to the scene just now, Xi Honglei
Honglei patted her cheek in annoyance, cursing her own random thoughts.
Lying alone in the room, the irritability in Xi Honglei's heart gradually disappeared, and the whole person became calm. After calming himself down as quickly as possible, Xi Honglei walked out of the room again and appeared in front of Mu Yun
In front of the blind man.
"Are you okay?" Mu Yunmeng looked at Xi Honglei with one hand on her chin and asked with a smile.
"There was nothing originally, but you are overthinking it." Xi Honglei glared at Mu Yunmeng fiercely, sat down on a chair with Mu Yunmeng's malicious smile, and asked, "Shu Kuang is here at night.
When the time comes, are you sure you can catch him?"
"I will arrange the manpower, don't worry about this."
"That's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about you." Xi Honglei shook his head, emphasizing the key points of his words. "Think about it and you know that Shu Kuang will not fight an unprepared battle. He is here,
It will definitely not be alone. We have people, but there are many people who are crazy. This is his base camp, and we can't forget this, so it is very likely that you and I will deal with him at night. So... you
Are you sure you can prevent him from escaping?"
Xi Honglei looked at Mu Yunmeng intently. Although her face was expressionless, Xi Honglei couldn't help but feel a little excited. Because it was very likely that she would be able to see Mu Yunmeng's true strength at night. This was for
For Xi Honglei, who had always watched Mu Yunmeng being bullied, this was a very strange thing.
"Who knows..." Mu Yunmeng sighed in embarrassment after hearing Xi Honglei's concerns. "But even if you let him run away, I think you must have a way to catch him again, right?
"
"You think too highly of me." Xi Honglei stood up and glanced at Mu Yunmeng. "I'm not sure I can lure such a cunning person here for the second time, so at night, you can figure it out yourself.
Bar."
After saying that, Xi Honglei shrugged her shoulders and went back to her room to have a good sleep. By the time she woke up comfortably, it was already evening.
You must do what you promised, even if it is a Hongmen Banquet, you must do it in a decent manner. Xi Honglei has promised Shu Kuang that he will entertain him with good wine and food in the evening, but now there is nothing.
, it's not like that. So Xi Honglei had no choice but to drag Mu Yunmeng to the place where Shu Kuang and Shu Kuang ate during the day, bought some food and wine, returned to their residence, and waited for Shu Kuang's arrival.
As Xi Honglei expected, after she and Mu Yunmeng prepared everything, Shu Kuang appeared in front of them within half an hour.
"Brother Shu is indeed here." Xi Honglei looked at Shu Kuang in front of him with a smile, and said, "Come in quickly, the food is almost cold."
"Miss Xi's invitation, how could Mr. Shu not come?" Shu Kuang spoke to Xi Honglei politely, while at the same time looking at the environment he was in without leaving a trace.
The three of them walked into the room and sat down at the table in silence. Shukuang looked at Xi Honglei and Mu Yunmeng sitting opposite him, and a bad premonition slowly arose in his heart.
As early as during the day, when Shukuang heard Xi Honglei say that she was the daughter of Xiyuan Mountain, Shukuang had already decided not to have anything to do with her anymore. Taking the two of them to dinner was just a polite gesture. Nothing else, just
Because of the increasingly exaggerated rumors that have been circulating in the world recently. Although Shu Kuang is not planning any dragon marrow jade, and it is impossible for these people to know their identities, at this time, someone came from the capital, and he
Still have to be careful.
But what Shukuang never expected was that Xi Honglei actually took the initiative and revealed his identity to him. After so many years, Xi Honglei was the first one who could steal something from Shu Kuang.
Although the jade pendant that Honglei stole was not a priceless treasure, the one that Honglei put on her body was something extraordinary.
Xi Honglei not only put a dragon-shaped jade pendant engraved with the word "Po" on himself, but also gave him a letter as a gift. The letter clearly stated that the jade pendant was the personal treasure of Prince Chu, and also the personal treasure of Prince Chu.
Xi Honglei is engaged and is giving Xi Honglei a token. I hope Shukuang can return it to Xi Honglei as soon as possible so that she will not alert the people in the court and help her find this jade pendant.
The engagement between Xi Honglei and Prince Chu was known to the whole world, and Shu Kuang had already heard the news a long time ago. He could have sneaked in and thrown the jade pendant to Xi Hong in the middle of the night.
Tears. But what makes Shukuang even more curious is what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of red tears? Why did she play such a trick? What is she looking for? She knows that she
identity?
While Shukuang was eating absentmindedly, he kept thinking about this matter. Xi Honglei had been observing Shukuang's every move, so she naturally noticed all of Shukuang's behavior and expression.
Xi Honglei turned her head slightly and winked at Mu Yunmeng. Seeing Mu Yunmeng nodded slightly, Xi Honglei smiled and spoke.
"Brother Shu, don't you have anything to say to me?"
"If Miss Xi needs anything, just ask. If Mr. Shu can help, I will try my best to help you. So..." Shu Kuang looked at Xi Honglei with a dead smile. "So between you and me.
If you have time, there is no need to resort to dirty tricks. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Okay! I just like people like Brother Shu!" Xi Honglei nodded repeatedly, expressing appreciation for Shu Kuang's attitude. He raised the wine glass at hand, and Xi Honglei drank the wine in one gulp under the surprised eyes of Shu Kuang and Mu Yunmeng.
Jin. Then continued: "Since Brother Shu is so direct, Honglei will not talk in circles with you. Brother Shu, I want to ask you, did you pick up a dragon-shaped jade pendant during the day?"
Xi Honglei frowned slightly. After asking the question, when Shu Kuang opened his mouth but made no sound, Xi Honglei said before him: "That jade pendant is a very important thing. Brother Shu should have listened.
Have you mentioned the recent news that someone wants to steal the dragon marrow jade from the royal family? To tell you the truth, this jade pendant was not only given to Honglei by Prince Chu, but it is also one of the things that must be used if you want to get the dragon marrow jade.
The key! If this thing is really lost, not only Honglei, but also the entire Xifu people will lose their heads. Honglei came here for the first time, and he doesn’t know anyone else, so he had to look for it.
Brother Shu, please help and see if you can help Honglei find the jade pendant."
Xi Honglei's words made Shu Kuang suddenly startled. He didn't expect that this jade pendant would be related to the dragon marrow jade!
"Haha, Miss Xi has really found the right person!" Shukuang reacted quickly, laughed, took out the jade pendant from his arms, and handed it to Xi Honglei. "Shu happened to be at the restaurant where we were eating during the day.
Next, I picked up this jade pendant. Miss Xi, look at it, is it the one you lost?"
"Really?!" Xi Honglei excitedly took the jade pendant from Shu Kuang's hand, but after looking at the candlelight for a while, the smile on Xi Honglei's face disappeared.
Xi Honglei stood up, looked at Shu Kuang with a solemn expression, and did not say anything for a long time. After looking at Shu Kuang and feeling a little scared, Xi Honglei said coldly: "Although the appearance of this jade pendant is the same as the one I lost, but
This jade pendant is not the one I lost. Brother Shu, since you intend to return what I lost, why don’t you return it to me?"
"Miss Xi, what do you mean?" Shukuang frowned and looked at Xi Honglei in confusion. "This is the jade pendant I picked up. It's not wrong!"
"This jade pendant is fake, not real." Xi Honglei stared at Shukuang sharply, "Brother Shu, this matter is no joke. If you don't hand over the real jade pendant, then Honglei will have nothing else.
There's a solution. Don't blame me for turning against the person, this matter is really no small matter. If you really don't want to return the real jade pendant to me, I have no choice but to go to the government and ask them to do this for me!"
"You...!" Xi Honglei's move made Shukuang quickly understand that this was a trap she had designed. Sitting on the chair with a dark face, Shukuang suddenly slapped the table and turned towards him without saying a word.
He walked to the door. "Not much to say, I'm not afraid of evil things, and I'm not afraid of ghosts calling the door! This jade pendant is the one I picked up. If Miss Xi doesn't believe it, just go to the government! I can't see the food today.
There’s no need to eat anymore, Miss Xi, Shu is leaving first!”
"Wait!"
Shukuang had just walked to the door, but a person appeared in front of him in an instant. Shukuang reflexively took two steps back and looked at Mu Yunmeng who was standing in front of him, his eyes widened in surprise.
In the blink of an eye, Mu Yunmeng was still sitting on the chair without saying a word. Shu Kuang did not expect that he would have such good Qinggong!
In addition to being crazy, Xi Honglei never expected that Mu Yunmeng would be so invisible! Before she could react or see clearly what was going on, Mu Yunmeng had already disappeared from the chair.
, arrived at the door.
Mu Yunmeng ignored the fiery gazes that Shu Kuang and Xi Honglei looked at him. He smiled and met Shu Kuang's eyes. Mu Yunmeng asked softly, "Isn't it appropriate to just leave like this?"
"Inappropriate? How inappropriate?"
"Come as soon as you come, leave as soon as you come. Where do you think this place is? Your home?" Mu Yunmeng raised his eyebrows and said with an evil smile: "If you don't hand over the real jade pendant, you can't even think of leaving here.
"
At this point, Shu Kuang also understood that the real target of the two people in this breath of red tears was him. No matter how many more jade pendants he took out, I am afraid that these two people would not let him go. So Shu Kuang had no choice but to sigh.
tone, and prepare to have a direct conversation with the two people.
