Chapter 4 Mysterious Man
The carriage left the wine shop, and Shangguan Liuying watched Lu Yi and the guards leave in the direction of Yuelai Wine Shop through the curtains of the carriage, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning around and scanning the carriage, her eyes rested on the half-person-high carved cabinet for a moment, and then she carefully reached out and fumbled in the secret compartment on the side of the carriage, but after touching for a while, her face became even more ugly.
Suddenly, a man's voice rang out from the quiet carriage.
"Are you looking for this?"
I saw a man wearing black night clothes and a silver mask pushing open the carved cabinet door and appearing in front of Shangguan Liuying. He was holding a small and exquisite dagger in his hand.
In the past, Shangguan Liuying would have been frightened, but at this moment, her expression remained unchanged, and she just frowned tightly.
"I'm curious, how did you find me?" the man spoke again.
Only one pair of eyes remained on his body, and his slender and deep eyes glowed with a cold light.
Liuying was on full alert, frowned and said, "You are injured."
It turned out that she smelled a faint smell of blood as soon as she got into the car, so she found an excuse to send Lu Yi away.
The man lowered his head and seemed to be smiling, but he didn't seem to be. Liu Ying could not see the expression under his mask and could only guess the man's identity and purpose.
"Take me out of here!" The man spoke for the third time, his voice cold.
Shangguan Liuying thought about the current situation. There were her guards outside the carriage. The man in front of her was injured. Maybe there was a chance?
But before she could make a move, the man came to her side in an instant and put a dagger to her throat. It turned out that there was movement outside. Someone had set up an interceptor at the exit of the dark alley and was checking the passing carriages one by one. The man's cold eyes were full of sternness, "You know what to do, right?"
"If I'm not wrong, the ones chasing you should be the inner guards. As long as you promise not to hurt me, I can help you. Otherwise, if I fight desperately, you may not be able to escape unscathed."
Shangguan Liuying looked at the man calmly. In just a few breaths, she had already thought of a countermeasure.
The man was silent for a moment, and the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became tense. Shangguan Liuying could even hear his own heartbeat, which was pounding as if it was about to jump out.
She was betting that this man wouldn't jump over the wall in a hurry!
"It seems that the rumors cannot be believed." The man suddenly whispered something irrelevant, and then looked at Liuying coldly, "You'd better keep your word, otherwise your maid may not be able to see the sun tomorrow. ”
Shangguan Liuying's pupils shrank sharply, and her face became colder, "Don't worry, once I say it, I will definitely do it."
The sharp dagger finally left Liu Ying's neck. Time was too urgent. She quickly whispered her countermeasures in the man's ear.
The girl's body fragrance penetrated the man's nostrils, a strand of hair gently brushed the man's eyelids, and he frowned under the mask.
All this happened in an instant. Shangguan Liuying watched the man disappear under her eyes. She just let out a breath and quickly adjusted her clothes.
"Excuse me, is the person inside this lady Shangguan?"
Soon a familiar voice came from outside the carriage. Shangguan Liuying thought to herself that she was indeed right. There were only a handful of people in the capital who could stop her carriage.
The inner guard happened to be among them. From the sound, it should be the commander of the inner guard, shouting in unison.
It is said that this person is an orphan, adopted by the previous generation of internal guard commander, and is extremely loyal to the royal family.
"Commander Qi, what are you doing?"
Shangguan Liuying opened the carriage curtain generously, and there was no one in the carriage except her.
Qi Ming bowed slightly, "Xiaoguan is tracking down a fugitive. This person is wearing black night clothes and a silver mask. I wonder if Miss Shangguan has seen him before?"
"No," Shangguan Liuying calmly shook her head, then looked at him with surprise, "Did you stop my carriage because you thought there was a prisoner hidden in my carriage?"
"Please forgive me, Miss Shangguan, it's my duty as a lower official." Qi Ming is a bit old-fashioned.
But being old-fashioned does not mean that he is unsophisticated. He knew the identity of the girl in front of him. She was the only daughter of General Shangguan. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was loved by many.
He would never dare to forcefully get into the car without Liu Ying's consent.
"Forget it, it seems that you won't be willing to do a search if I don't let you search it. In that case, just search it."
Liu Ying held a dark golden round fan and shook it gently. The tassels on her head also swayed very nimbly. She deliberately leaned against the carved cabinet beside her and waited for Qi Ming to come up and search.
Sure enough, Qi Ming's eyes stayed on the half-man tall cabinet for a long time.
However, the result of the search disappointed him. Except for some tea sets and pastries, there was no trace of anyone in the cabinet!
"Did you find it?" Liu Ying looked at Qi Ming with a faint smile. The moment Qi Ming actually got on the carriage to search, her aura had already changed, "Is there the person you are looking for?"
"The lower official is incompetent and has disturbed Miss Shangguan. I hope you won't blame her."
Qi Ming was flexible and flexible. After getting off the carriage, he apologized to Shangguan Liuying. No matter what, he had offended Shangguan Liuying today. The key was that he hadn't found the person he was looking for yet!
"You are incompetent. You have wasted half a day on me. Maybe the person you are looking for has already left the city!" Shangguan Liuying looked at Qi Ming with cold eyes, and her aura as a superior was fully revealed at this moment.
Qi Ming's face looked a little ugly, but at the moment he couldn't refute Shangguan Liuying.
Ignoring Qi Ming's look, Shangguan Liuying lowered the car curtain and shouted an order.
"Go home."
The carriage creaked and moved again, and even the wine vat behind the carriage began to shake.
But just as the carriage was about to leave the dark alley, Qi Ming spoke again, "Wait a minute."
In the carriage, Shangguan Liuying's heart skipped a beat. She did not move. She suppressed her fear and raised her voice across the carriage: "What does Commander Qi mean by this?"
There was a hint of anger in her voice. Anyone would be angry if they were stopped again and again, let alone Liu Ying. She was a master who didn't even need to notify her when she entered the palace.
"I wonder if I can take a look at these wine vats?" Qi Ming walked to the three wine vats with a sharp look in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through the wine vats.
"You can do as you please," Shangguan Liuying said coldly, but just as Qi Ming raised his hand, she continued: "I bought this wine specially to present it to the Emperor. It is pure wine from the Western Regions. If you open the wine seal, the alcohol smell will escape, and the taste will be lost. If you think it’s okay, just open it.”
At this point, Qi Ming's hand turned around, but he still didn't open the wine seal.
Everyone knew that their emperor was addicted to alcohol. There was once a minister who wasted several jars of good wine because he didn't know how to drink. As a result, he was dismissed by the emperor and sent home, abruptly ruining the rest of his life.
The lessons learned from the past are still there, so Qi Ming will not be stupid enough to ignore it!
Besides, if the man really hid in the wine vat, it would be inevitable that some of the smell of alcohol would leak out, but he was so close and didn't even smell a trace of alcohol, so I guess it shouldn't be...
But how did he know that one of the wine tanks was empty to begin with!
"Do you still want to look at it? If you don't, I have to leave. I don't have time to spend time here with you."
Ignoring the sarcasm in Liu Ying's eyes, Qi Ming waved his hand, gritted his teeth and uttered two words, "Let me go!"
This time, accompanied by the afterglow, the carriage really left the dark alley...
