Chapter 88: Heavy Rain Picture Scroll Men in Black
The rain in Yangzhou City seemed to come later than the rain over Li Longqian's side, but it did not affect the intensity of the rain at all. Mrs. Qing stretched out her hand to open the window and took a charming look outside.
When people on the street outside saw it, they were still lost.
"It's raining a lot today."
Mrs. Qing slowly closed the window and turned to look at the man sitting on the chair drinking tea and smiled.
"It seems that I have to stay in Yangzhou City for a few more days. It's raining so heavily that I won't be able to leave." The man replied with the same smile.
"What's going on with Emperor Daliang?" Madam Qing asked in a low voice. In fact, this issue was not something she, a prostitute, could care about, but Madam Qing only had two things on her mind. One was to find the general.
Another thing is to wait for the Xixia princess Xia Lan Aoxue to return to the country, so there are not many topics that she can talk to the man in front of her. No matter how much they talk, they can't come up with these two things.
"Daliang is the current emperor." The man smiled helplessly, and then whispered: "I never expected that Zhu Wen could give birth to such a son. The current emperor is really not comparable to his father."
"How do you say this?" Mrs. Qing asked with a smile.
"A few days ago, the emperor also asked Chen Xingxiu and Wang Hongxi to compile a list. On this list, they are all corrupt officials in Daliang. Therefore, people in the court are now panicked. Even the people on the list are in panic.
No one in the court dares to say a word, and now these corrupt officials are just waiting for when the emperor will come up with this list."
"This Emperor Liang wants to dismantle the team his father left for him and then hire new people?" Although Mrs. Qing is a woman, she is really knowledgeable about matters above the court.
"Well. Zhu You will not want anything Zhu Wen left for him. Except for this world, except for the civil servant Chen Xingxiu, except for the military general Wang Hongxi, Zhu You will not want anything else." The man nodded and replied.
One sentence.
"Who in the world doesn't know that among the world's civil servants, the emperor only recognizes Chen Xingxiu, and among the world's military generals, the emperor only recognizes Wang Hongxi." Mrs. Qing sighed lightly.
The man smiled and said nothing.
"Then tell me, does this little emperor's domineering behavior create opportunities for us?" Mrs. Qing looked at the man and asked.
"What chance?" the man asked.
"Opportunity for restoration."
"You said just now that the emperor only recognizes Chen Xingxiu among the civil servants in the world, and Wang Hongxi among the military generals in the world. As long as Daliang and the two don't move, even if the others move, how much trouble will there be?
The little emperor Zhu You naturally has the confidence to do this. If not, which emperor have you seen dare to hold this list in his hand?"
"This little emperor seems to be a bit more difficult to deal with than Zhu Wen." Mrs. Qing sighed softly, and then said with a smile: "You said that you used to be a general of Xixia, and now you can actually be in the court of Daliang. You said
Do these people really don’t know or are they just pretending not to know?”
"I'm just pretending." The man answered simply.
"The emperor is afraid of you?" Mrs. Qing said with a smile.
"The emperor is not afraid, but Wang Hongxi is."
"I am the number one general in Daliang, so I am afraid of you?" Mrs. Qing's tone was full of ridicule.
"Afraid is just afraid."
"What is he afraid of you?" Mrs. Qing asked.
"He was afraid that I would steal his title as the number one general."
"It's a joke, don't you know how much you weigh now? Just relying on your strength in the No Man's Realm, you can steal other people's reputation. Don't forget that Wang Hongxi is in the realm of destroying the earth. Even
This little emperor Zhu You is in the realm of controlling souls, how can you compare with Wang Hongxi in terms of your strength?" Mrs. Qing said this with a sneer on her face.
"Can't you just think that I'm bragging? Do you have to deny me face like this?" The man smiled helplessly, turned to look at Mrs. Qing and asked, "What kind of strength is that person?"
"...It should be the martial arts realm." Mrs. Qing's expression was a little stiff when she answered.
…
"Wow..."
The heavy rain in the sky seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. Li Longqian stood in the stall and looked at the man in black in the rain. No matter which angle Li Longqian looked at, he could not see this man's face. This was the most important thing for Li Longqian.
A curious place.
The man in black in the rain was holding two scrolls in his hands. He didn't seem to care about the rain hitting him. He walked slowly like this, approaching the stall where Li Longqian and the others were standing step by step. Li Longqian looked at
That person, but that person never looked at Li Longqian. Maybe he looked at him, but Li Longqian didn't know. After all, Li Longqian couldn't see that person's face.
"Where is he looking at?" Ling Shiqing asked curiously, looking at Li Longqian standing blankly beside the stall.
"I don't know what Mr. Li is looking at, but after looking at it for a long time, it should be the man in the rain." Lu Zhengyang quickly replied.
"Person?" Ling Shiqing was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Who can make him so obsessed with her? It can't be that woman, right?"
"Miss, you have wronged Mr. Li this time. I don't know who that person is, but she is definitely not a woman." Lu Zhengyang smiled and explained.
Ling Shiqing curled her lips slightly when she heard this, and stopped talking about this issue. Instead, she held her cheek in her hand and looked at the weather outside with some worry.
"I don't know when the rain will stop."
"I guess we won't be able to stop until the afternoon." Lu Zhengyang took a sip of tea, wiped his mouth and replied seriously.
"Oh, I definitely won't be able to reach Juyang City today, and my arrival at Shentian Peak will be one day late." At this time, Ling Shiqing's little face was full of helplessness.
Lu Zhengyang smiled slightly and said nothing.
Li Longqian stood at the edge of the stall. Even though there was still some rain hitting Li Longqian's body, Li Longqian didn't seem to react at all, because it was completely dark at this time.
To the point where I can't see my fingers, but still
Unable to see clearly the faces of the people around her, and seeing how completely dark it was, the old woman quickly ran out of the house, holding a few candles in her hand, looking at Lu Zhengyang and others with a smile and said: "At home,
I don’t have many candles, so please make do with them, gentlemen.”
"It's okay." Lu Zhengyang quickly stood up and helped the old woman light a candle in the stall.
After the candles were lit, although it was still dark in the stall, at least he could see a little bit of the people next to him. Ling Shiqing was already in a very irritable mood, and when it got dark, her temper seemed to get even worse.
Lu Zhengyang sat aside and wanted to open his mouth to speak, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only sit there awkwardly and wait.
A gust of breeze blew out the candle on the table. The old woman ran out of the house and lit the candle again.
Although the sky was frighteningly dark at this time, Li Longqian still stood straight at the edge of the stall. Even though he could no longer see how far away the man was from them, Li Longqian still did not move even half a step, just in this quiet place.
Watching, rather than watching, it is better to say waiting.
After the breeze passed, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to disperse a little, and the sky became slightly brighter. At this time, the man was standing in the heavy rain, looking at Li Longqian, and Li Longqian also looked at the man, surrounded by
The atmosphere seemed to have become gloomy, because
Li Longqian discovered that even at such a close distance, Li Longqian still couldn't see the man's face clearly. Could it be that this man was not a human but a ghost? Li Longqian exclaimed in his heart. After all, the thing in front of him seemed to be a ghost.
A walking black robe.
The man stood opposite Li Longqian in the rain and paused for a moment, then slowly picked up the scroll in his hand and unfolded it, revealing a portrait of Li Longqian.
"Whoa!"
The man threw the scroll into the heavy rain, patted the rainwater on himself gently, and then slowly walked into the stall. Li Longqian looked at the scroll that was almost washed away by the rain. Li Longqian knew
The person painted on it is himself. Even though the scroll was soon submerged by rain and mud, Li Longqian could still see it clearly.
After the man in black wiped the rain off his body, he slowly walked into the stall and passed by Li Longqian.
Li Longqian turned around quickly. He could feel the cold breath of the man in black, as if he was dead.
The man in black entered the stall that was sheltered from the rain and found a secluded corner. Because the light in the stall was too dark, even if the man's face could not be seen, no one was confused and they all thought he was here to take shelter from the rain.
Li Longqian was the only one who stared at the man in black, but the man in black didn't seem to care about Li Longqian's gaze and sat there naturally.
"What would you like, sir?" The old woman saw the new guest coming and walked out of the room with a smile.
"A pot of rice wine."
The voice of the man in black was like a ghost. As soon as the voice continued, almost everyone in the stall turned to look at the man in black, but the man in black still had no reaction. The old woman trembled instinctively, and then agreed.
A good word
After that, he ran into the house in a panic. When he waited for the door to open again, an old man came out cautiously with a pot of rice wine. The old man put the rice wine on the table in front of the man in black and turned around.
Just leave.
"Drink money." The man in black's voice sounded again, and there was an ingot of silver on the table.
"Thank you... thank you..." The old man stretched out his right hand tremblingly, picked up the silver on the table, then turned around and ran into the house.
After Li Longqian saw the man in black sitting down, he slowly walked to Ling Shiqing's side. Ling Shiqing looked at Li Longqian with some fear and asked, "Who is that person?"
"I don't know." Li Longqian shook his head and replied, his eyes never leaving that person.
"How about we go?" Ling Shiqing whispered.
"Go? Where to go?" Li Longqian picked up his wooden sword, then looked at the wooden sword and whispered: "If this person came after us, I'm afraid it will be too late to leave."
