In the secret road full of teahouses.
Luo Wenge was ready to wipe his eyes black, but who knew that the bottom was like a fire dragon entrenched, and everything was clearly visible at a glance to the end of his line of sight. Such a grand gesture was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The waiter in the shop said that Man Tea House is the shopkeeper's ancestral family business. If this is true, what about the secret way?
The shopkeeper must also have some problems.
Jiang Lin stood beside him quietly, watching all directions, listening to all directions, secretly pinching a few thin blades with his fingertips.
Entering the secret passage, Jiang Lin's nerves tensed up, wishing he could divide himself into several people and surround him.
Luo Wenge listened attentively. There was no sound in the secret passage, and even his and Jiang Lin's inaudible breathing seemed extraordinarily heavy. It was conceivable that if they walked over rashly, they would probably be noticed before they got there.
But if you don't go there, no one knows where the secret path will go, and the great opportunity in front of you will be wasted in vain.
"Take it easy, □□ is quiet." He explained very softly.
Jiang Lin nodded cautiously, it would be easy to do so without making a sound to the martial arts practitioners.Jiang Lin was even more worried about him. After all, the landlord does not know martial arts, so it is not a secret in Linjiang Tower.
When he really walked, Jiang Lin was surprised to find that Luo Wenge had done an excellent job.
Like a person with high martial arts skills, he landed silently and breathed lightly.
Luo Wenge didn't have any internal strength, he was a person from the new world anyway, and he usually exercises regularly, so it's not difficult to be light-handed.
The walk went smoothly at first, but halfway through, Luo Wenge suddenly stopped, Jiang Lin turned his head and asked with puzzled eyes.
Luo Wenge walked and looked at the walls on both sides, fearing that missing details would cause accidents between him and Jiang Lin.
Although this place is still in Changle City, if something happens, reinforcements will not be available for a while.
It was because of being too careful that Luo Wenge could see the slight difference on the wall.
He pointed to the oil lamp on the wall and motioned Jiang Lin to look at it. Jiang Lin looked at it carefully for a while, and finally saw that the flame was brighter than what he had seen before, with a hint of blue.
Jiang Lin's expression changed slightly, he took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured out a pill and handed it to him.
Luo Wenge squeezed and ate it, and continued walking after Jiang Lin also swallowed.
The further he walked in, Luo Wenge found that the color of the flames became more intense, which also meant that the poison in the oil lamp became stronger.
If it wasn't discovered in time, even if he and Jiang Lin could get here, they would probably be unconscious and could only be captured with their hands tied.
Exploring unknown places is full of danger as well as opportunity.
On the way to the depths of the secret passage, Luo Wenge became more and more careful.
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer oil lamps, and there was a faint light coming in from the secret passage, as if it was coming to an end, Luo Wenge slowed down his pace, and his eyes scanned what could be seen not far away.
Seeing this scene, instead of feeling relieved that Jiang Lin was about to leave the secret path, Jiang Lin became more vigilant.
The fact that nothing happened along the way can only mean that the next test will be more severe. He must protect Luo Wenge with all his heart, otherwise it would not be an exaggeration to apologize with death.
The two held their breath and slowly approached the bright light.
Getting closer.
Luo Wenge raised his hand suddenly, and Jiang Lin stopped immediately.
The breeze blew by, and the voices of small conversations were blown up, and the intermittent sounds were not very real.
Luo Wenge listened with all his might.
"...Xianhe was caught by accident and fell into the hands of Linjiang Tower. He probably couldn't survive. The bat with him was locked in the cell of Dali Temple. Pavilion Master, do you want me to send someone to kill him?"
This voice was full and loud, and it was Man Jinchun who was the most deceptive.
"No need, it's too late to start." A hoarse and rough voice sounded, saying that it was not a male voice, nor was it a female voice.
This should be the Pavilion Master of the Destiny Pavilion mentioned by the bat. I didn't expect to meet here by accident. Luo Wenge was quite surprised, and was caught off guard by this great gift.
"Are you just letting him go like that?" Man Jinchun said unwillingly.
The Pavilion Master didn't seem to care much about this, and asked, "Did Luo Wenge go to the teahouse yesterday?"
"Go." Man Jinchun replied.
The pavilion master nodded: "It's good to go. Today you can see him for me first. If he really wants to surrender, I will meet him in person. Although Shen Ruqing admires him in every possible way, I always feel that he will not cooperate with me easily."
"There is one more thing that I want to report to the pavilion master." Man Jinchun's voice was full of awe, which showed that this matter was very important.
"Say." The pavilion master coughed a few times, gasped for a few rough breaths, listening to his heavy breathing, one can tell that this person is not in good health.
Man Jinchun's tone was impatient and full of worry: "Is the Pavilion Master okay?"
The Pavilion Master coughed a few more times, and took a long time to recover: "It's okay, just tell me, what's the matter."
"Yesterday, Luo Wen Geben was listening by the pillar, and then a man who looked like an attendant came down. After talking to him a few words, he went upstairs to the box and listened to the whole story. Who, the shop clerk said he hadn’t seen it, but because of his extravagance and generosity, he took a few more glances and vaguely remembered that the man’s cuffs were embroidered with dark patterns, which looked like birds, but he didn’t see clearly.”
"The extravagance is overwhelming. He is like a bird, and he also knows Luo Wenge. He is either a vassal king or His Majesty."
"This subordinate also asked the waiter in the shop how old he looked. He said that he looked young and handsome, and he was wearing purple clothes. He might be Xiao Yulan."
The pavilion master fell silent, apparently in deep thought.
Man Jinchun couldn't bear it anymore, and guessed softly: "Luo Wenge and Xiao Yulan appeared in the teahouse at the same time, and they happily went to the box. It can be seen that their relationship is harmonious, at least not as stalemate as outsiders think. Luo Wenge, it's too risky."
"Don't worry about too much, Luo Wenge is very important. With his help, most of the success will be achieved. You must always remember who his father is, and you must know his talents." The pavilion master said.
"Yes." Man Jinchun said.
The pavilion master sighed softly: "Can you put your hand into the court and see how the meeting with Luo Wenge turns out. If it doesn't work out, I'll have to wait another two months. I'm afraid it won't last long in my body. Let's find a good place to go."
"The master of the pavilion is blessed with the same blessings as the heavens, and he will surely live a long life. I am still waiting for the master of the pavilion to become king!" Man Jinchun said sincerely.
The pavilion master sighed deeply again, as if pinning all his hopes on Luo Wenge, he whispered softly: "It is not only me in the Destiny Pavilion who can see the value of Luo Wenge, King Yun and others also intend to win him over. Xiao Yulan is also polite to him now, you haven't noticed that Xiao Yulan has attached importance to him recently, and many things are left to Luo Wenge."
"From this point of view, we don't have a very good chance of winning over him." Man Jinchun told the truth.
As soon as his subordinates told the truth, the pavilion master couldn't help but talk to each other: "If you don't succeed in wooing, then just kill them. No one in the world can get the people I can't get in the Tianming Pavilion. If you keep them, it might be me." The nemesis of Tianming Pavilion, there is a Linjiang Tower that is annoying enough, if there is one less, there will be one less."
"The master of the pavilion is wise, this subordinate will go down to prepare now, and go to the teahouse to have a look later." Man Jinchun said.
The pavilion master didn't speak any more, his ears became quiet, as if no one was there.
Luo Wenge narrowed his eyes. The owner of the Tianming Pavilion is too extreme, and if he can't get it, he will destroy it. From this point of view, he must be vague when talking, and can't be too obvious, otherwise his life will be lost.
They stood here for a while, Luo Wenge was thinking whether to return the same way or go out along the exit to have a look.
Before he could figure out why, there was the sound of footsteps coming from the exit, and someone was coming.
Luo Wenge looked around and didn't find a place to hide. Right now, if someone came in, they would still be exposed if they turned around and ran back. It's better to hide in the dark place of the entrance and catch the person who came in by surprise.
He said softly and quickly: "Catch this person, there is only one of him."
Jiang Lin nodded, and with his keen ears, he could tell that this person was the one with the strong bones in the speech just now. Although he wanted to arrest the one who ordered the landlord to die, but the fact is not allowed, it is fine to catch someone.
The two of them stuck to the backlight of the entrance, waiting for the fish that threw themselves into the net.
The fish did not disappoint them, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and soon they were close to their ears.
There was a soft 'click', and the light at the entrance lit up.
From Luo Wenge's perspective, he could see the extremely simple room layout inside, and the exit of the secret passage was hidden in a room.
Then he saw a monk's shoe, and the indigo hem went up, and it was half a person. The next moment, Man Jinchun, who had never shown his true face, was exposed in front of Luo Wenge and Jiang Lin.
It was a face so ordinary that it was forgotten in a blink of an eye when it was thrown into the crowd, only the eyes were always showing a cunning look.
Man Jinchun's reaction was indeed worthy of this brilliance, he stepped into the secret path with one foot, frowned slightly, feeling that the matter was not easy, turned around and wanted to run.
How could Luo Wenge let him fly away like a duck with its mouth full?
The moment Jiang Lin raised his hand, Jiang Lin flew out like an off-string arrow, reaching to catch Man Jinchun, but in the blink of an eye, this strong execution successfully convinced Luo Wenge.
This is indeed a hidden guard, not an old lady.
Man Jinchun didn't even have the time to react. When he saw the scene in front of him clearly, the entrance door was closed, and there was a handsome young man standing in front of him with a pretty smile.
Man Jinchun knew Luo Wenge, but he couldn't say it clearly at this time, the best policy was to play dumb.
"Young master, you and I don't know each other, what's the meaning of this?"
Luo Wenge asked in surprise, "Mr. Man has lost his memory?"
"The old man can't understand what the young master is saying." Mantangchun moved the shoulder that was captured by Jiang Lin, and was hit more violently. The pain made Mantangchun's face contort for a moment, and he said coldly, "Young master, I I have no grudges with you in the past, and I have no grudges in the present, so it is not appropriate to be cruel like this?"
"Did Mr. Man forget the content of yesterday's storytelling or the book for entertainment?" Luo Wenge asked with a smile.
Seeing that he could no longer pretend, Man Jinchun pretended to be surprised and said: "It turned out to be Luo Shaoqing of Dali Temple. I am so disrespectful. It's just that this old man didn't indicate his name, and he didn't admit it openly. I'm afraid Luo Shaoqing treated me like this." It is inconsistent with law and reason.”
"I'm wondering about something." Luo Wenge pretended to be puzzled and walked back and forth for two steps, seeing Man Jinchun's wary expression, he stopped in his tracks.
Man Jinchun swallowed nervously, waiting made people feel tormented.
Luo Wenge half-curled his lips: "Mr. Man is not surprised that I'm in the secret passage, pretending to be scared, but my tone and breath are unreasonably steady. Is there someone protecting your life outside?"
He looked at the closed door with burning eyes, eager to try: "Is it the Pavilion Master of the Destiny Pavilion who sounds like he left?"
Man Jinchun was surprised for a short while, never expecting him to be so meticulous, he even guessed this: "Luo Shaoqing is so smart, it's no wonder that the pavilion master has a heart of love for talents."
"Then I really have to thank the Pavilion Master face to face, Luo is weak, I'm afraid I can't bear this kind of affection." Luo Wenge sarcastically said.
With his attitude, it was hard not to make Man Jinchun think too much, and kept guessing in his mind when he arrived here.
Luo Wenge didn't give Man Jinchun a chance to ask questions, and said to Jiang Lin, "Detain him, let's go out and meet that Heavenly Destiny Pavilion master."
Jiang Lin obeyed his orders, holding Man Jinchun's hand even harder, and when Luo Wenge found the mechanism to open the door, he went out first, using himself as a shield protector.
Seeing this move, Luo Wenge didn't say anything.
The simple room that had been glimpsed before gradually appeared before the two of them. Together with them, they saw dozens of masked men holding long swords. A thin man in a wheelchair and wearing a silver mask stopped at the door. It's hard to tell the man and woman, Luo Wenge easily guessed the identity of this person.
"I didn't expect Luo Shaoqing to be so impatient, to come here first, and let the humble house shine." The male but female voice said.
Luo Wenge took a step forward: "I didn't expect that a storyteller would find this."
"Oh? I heard Luo Shaoqing mean that he didn't know he belonged to me, and it was all an accident to come here?" asked the pavilion master.
Luo Wenge nodded seriously, fooling people with seriousness: "Recently, there have been a lot of books in the city centered on me, and there is a lot of trouble every morning to impeach me. Your Majesty is very annoying. He secretly sent me to investigate this matter. Self-proving innocence. Yesterday I heard that Man Jinchun, who wrote the story book, was going to tell a story, so I came to listen to it. It was amazing, and he insinuated me. I am not very good-tempered, and I can’t listen to nonsense. I wanted to catch Man Jinchun, but unfortunately I failed."
The pavilion master seemed to believe his nonsense, and nodded repeatedly.
Luo Wenge was still dissatisfied, and asked: "If I were to be the pavilion master, what would I do?"
"You can't rub sand in your lower eyes. If you meet such a person, you will get rid of them quickly." The pavilion master replied in a gentle voice.
Luo Wenge stopped talking, and looked at the pavilion master with a faint smile.
The pavilion master was silent for a moment, and suddenly looked at Man Jinchun with something strange.
Man Jinchun was watching the conversation between the two silently, thinking that the pavilion master could save himself from the fire and water, but the more he listened to it, the more wrong it became, and seeing the murderous eyes of the pavilion master, Man Jinchun could no longer calm down, and said in panic : "Pavilion Master, you can't kill me, I have no credit but hard work, since I have worked for Tianming Pavilion for decades, Pavilion Master let me go."
The pavilion master shook his head regretfully, and his tone was full of reluctance: "I don't want your life either, but there is no way, who let you ruin Luo Shaoqing's reputation, make people unhappy, and make him leave a bad impression on Tianming Pavilion, which will affect you. It is absolutely impossible for me to cooperate with him. Sacrifice you alone to win Luo Shaoqing's favor, and you will be regarded as a worthy death."
Man Jinchun was terrified, and turned to look at Luo Wenge: "Luo Shaoqing, please forgive me, that was not my original intention, but the intention of the pavilion master."
Hearing the words, Luo Wenge looked at the calm Pavilion Master, and said casually, "I want to hear the truth."
"The truth is that he did this kind of thing without authorization in order to get me to use him, in a delusion to attract Luo Shaoqing." The pavilion master's posture of throwing the pot was very elegant, without any muddling.
Man Jinchun, who took the blame, was not honest either, after all, he made his living by talking about it, and he spoke very sharply.
"Don't trust him, he tricked you out just to kill you, any cooperation, any love for talent is fake, he is actually—"
It's a pity that Man Jinchun couldn't say the rest of the words, with an arrow piercing through the air stuck in his chest.
Luo Wenge looked at the archer, but it turned out to be the pavilion master sitting in a wheelchair and in poor health.
He looked at the end of the arrow, and it was the same as the one that the feudal lord went to Beijing to assassinate that day, the bat was indeed telling the truth.
He patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder and told him to put down the dead Man Jinchun.
"Why is the pavilion master so eager to kill people? I think he still has something to say, and the pavilion master doesn't want to know what he said?"
The pavilion master handed the bow to the person beside him, and pushed the wheelchair towards the table: "There are some things that don't need to be known too clearly, you can live happier if you don't know anything, please sit down, Luo Shaoqing."
Luo Wenge calmly walked over and sat down opposite the pavilion master, took the teacup pushed over by the other party and put it in front of him, not intending to drink at all.
The pavilion master saw it, and said with a smile: "Could it be that Luo Shaoqing is afraid that I will be poisoned?"
"Where, I have a lot of problems. I don't drink tea unless it's made with morning dew, and I don't eat it unless it's weird. I have a tricky taste and a delicate body." Luo Wenge said nonsense.
This made the pavilion master silent for a long time, even if he couldn't see the expression, he could know how shocked he was.
This is what Luo Wenge wanted. He knew how passive it would be if he was manipulated by someone else. Before the other party had even the slightest respect for him, he had to seize the initiative. I don't know if the shadow guard Xiao Yulan assigned to him knew. Know how to play by ear.Otherwise, he can only save himself.
The pavilion master picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, exclaiming: "Luo Shaoqing is living such a fairy life, I am so envious."
"The pavilion master was joking. I look at the expensive clothes of the pavilion master, so he must be a person who does not worry about gold and silver." Luo Wenge turned the teacup lightly, staring at the pavilion master with a slight smile in his eyes.
The pavilion master bowed his hands, saying with shame: "I will tell you nothing about Luo Shaoqing, this is the most exquisite set of clothes for me. If I hadn't come to see Luo Shaoqing today, I would never be willing to take it out and wear it."
Luo Wenge understood.
If he was talking nonsense and deceiving people earlier, the pavilion master is also like this.
When two people who are good at serious nonsense meet, they won't be able to hear even the slightest truth.
Luo Wenge knew this, and the owner of the Tianming Pavilion on the opposite side also thought of it. The two looked at each other, and both gave insincere fake smiles.
At the same time, I said in my heart: They are all foxes who are mixed into spirits, why are they pretending to be innocent here?
At this moment, Luo Wenge definitely would not speak first, he turned the teacup while looking at the pavilion master who wanted his life.
This look reveals something.
A person's face and figure can be disguised, but what is exposed cannot be hidden.
Previously, the bat said that he could not see the face of the pavilion master, but could only hear the voice of a man or a woman.
Luo Wenge was different, he really saw people, and there were more places to observe.
First of all, this pavilion master does not have an Adam's apple. Based on this alone, Luo Wenge can be sure that he is actually her.
When she was not the pavilion master, she was probably also a red makeup who loved to dress up very much, otherwise there would be no piercings on the earlobes as delicate as jade carvings, and her hair was well maintained, and the color was like ink and satin.
The skin is very fair, the fingers are as green and tender as green onions, and the edges of the nails seem to be light red, which may be Danko dyed during red makeup.
But these are far from enough to determine who this person is.
Luo Wenge stopped his hands, looked up at the pavilion master's face, the mask was so well made, he really couldn't see anything.
His sizing made the pavilion master a little uneasy, and he shrank his hands into his sleeves unexpectedly: "What is Luo Shaoqing looking at?"
"I was wondering what kind of person Shen Guifei could praise so much, and she tried her best to recommend me to meet." Luo Wenge mentioned Shen Ruqing on purpose. He remembered that Shen Ruqing said that this pavilion master was an old acquaintance.
He has been able to confirm that this person is a woman, then... he suddenly has a way to verify.
No one would feel that having too many useful clues is a burden, Luo Wenge tried his best to formulate words.
It's a pity that the pavilion master was aware of his purpose, but the other party didn't answer directly: "I'm afraid Luo Shaoqing has misunderstood, I don't know Concubine Shen, I only have a few letters with her, that's all."
The relationship was cleared up very quickly, even more acutely than Luo Wenge imagined.
"The Pavilion Master doesn't need to rush to explain, I just sigh, isn't it thanks to Concubine Shen that I have the opportunity to meet the Pavilion Master? Let me know that there is such a long-sighted person as the Pavilion Master in this world."
"What Luo Shaoqing said is becoming more and more incomprehensible. I can't stay here any longer. Now that we have met, why don't we talk about important matters?"
"What is the main thing that the pavilion master said?" Luo Wenge pretended not to know, and his face was full of thirst for solutions.
Even if the pavilion master saw that he was pretending, and was forced to cooperate, he could only explain: "You and I join hands to control the court and become the real ministers who exercise power. Let Ning Dynasty become a plaything in the palm of your hand. Isn't ambition exciting?"
This matter is very exciting for women, but it is not satisfactory to Luo Wenge's ears.
He was full of disapproval: "The pavilion master is too one-sided. You know that there are all kinds of factions in the Ning Dynasty now, and there is a northern border outside. Even if you and I cooperate, there is still a very long way to go."
"Then what does Luo Shaoqing mean?"
"It's not as good as this. I pretend to seek the cooperation of the princes to unify the Ning Dynasty. The pavilion master goes to the border and tries every means to bring the northern border into his pocket. When you and I join forces, won't the whole world belong to us?"
For the observers, what Luo Wenge said was far more exciting and ambitious than what the pavilion master proposed, and just listening to it made their blood boil.
But passion is not enough, we have to proceed from reality.
The pavilion master angrily slapped the table: "Luo Wenge, if you don't want to cooperate, just say it, so why not mock the pavilion master?"
Luo Wenge pretended to be surprised: "How did the pavilion master say this? Is Luo's way of speaking bad, or Luo's attitude is not sincere?"
The pavilion master pointed at his trembling fingers, as if he was very angry: "The wild land in northern Xinjiang is full of wind and sand, you let this broken body of the pavilion master go, don't you sincerely want me to die?"
Luo Wenge smiled slightly, his eyes were cold: "Pavilion Master thinks you can last until the day you become a minister of power?"
He is not a doctor and cannot diagnose life expectancy, but Jiang Lin beside him can.
When it comes to this, it's a shame, and there's no need to pretend.
Luo Wenge sneered at each other: "You don't need to fool the people in the Destiny Pavilion with your glory and wealth anymore, it's all fake to want to be a powerful minister, what you want to do is to disrupt the court and make the muddy water of the Ning Dynasty even more muddy. "
"Stop talking nonsense." The pavilion master gritted his teeth angrily, "It seems that you didn't come to cooperate, but to make trouble for the pavilion master. If that's the case, you can kill him."
While speaking, the Pavilion Master stepped back quickly, raised his finger lightly and waved his cherry lips lightly: "Go."
At this time, this scene is very familiar, but there is Jiang Lin by his side, there is no such master who kills people without seeing people, and it depends on Jiang Lin whether he can live or not.
Luo Wenge didn't panic at all in the face of dozens of masked people, he simply said, "Jiang Lin, grab her."
Jiang Lin drew out the soft sword from his waist, and with one strike, he slashed all directions, and then avoided the attack. Looking at the place Luo Wenge pointed to earlier, there was a rare fluctuation on his dull face: "My lord, she's gone."
Luo Wenge took a look, and the person really disappeared.
At this time, countless masked people poured in from outside the house, filling the small room to the brim, making it difficult for people to use their hands and feet.
Luo Wenge looked solemn: "Jiang Lin, can you do it?"
He raised his leg and pulled out a dagger from his boots, laying it across in front of him, ready for a bloody battle in his heart.
Jiang Lin didn't change his face: "It can be done, young master try to hide behind me, and protect yourself if there is danger."
Luo Wenge smiled: "How can I let you suffer from a knife."
"What a master and servant who love each other deeply." The voice of the pavilion master who had disappeared came from mid-air, and said sinisterly, "Today, let me see how steadfast your relationship is."
"Then I'm afraid I will disappoint you." Another cold and ruthless domineering male voice interjected forcefully, coming towards my face with a fierce momentum.
Luo Wenge turned around in surprise, seeing Xiao Yulan holding a long sword, he raised his lips and smiled.
Xiao Yulan looked at him coldly, and reprimanded slightly: "I'll settle the score with you when I get back."
Luo Wenge's surprise vanished in an instant, thinking: Are you here to save me or to scare me?
"Oh, I didn't expect that killing the young minister of Dali Temple would attract His Majesty's presence. I feel very honored. Let's say goodbye today. The future will be long. Luo Wenge, after seeing me, your hard life will begin. Just wait and see! "
Xiao Yulan's expression became more and more ruthless, and he could tell from the voice that this person had already gone far away, relying on internal force to transmit the sound, he looked at the masked man crowded in the room again, and said indifferently: "Kill him."
From behind him, Tan Yu led people out in a file, fighting with the masked people like killing gods.
Another group of people surrounded them to prevent anyone from rushing over.
In this safe and cramped world for the time being, Xiao Yulan immediately settled the score with an unreasonable expression on her face: "How did you promise me yesterday?"
Luo Wenge felt wronged, and said with a dry smile, "I didn't expect the secret way to be so easy to find, and so easy to enter."
"I didn't expect that the mastermind behind the scenes would be the same person as the one who invited you, let alone that the other party would suddenly kill you?" Xiao Yulan automatically added what he hadn't finished.
Luo Wenge gave Xiao Yulan a thumbs up: "Your Majesty is really a god."
Xiao Yulan raised her hand to 'snap' his hand away, her complexion became even worse: "I'm here to listen to your glib talk?"
Just judging from this reaction and tone, Xiao Yulan was really angry, and he was holding back his temper at this time before speaking. If he didn't know his mistake, the other party would probably turn around and leave.
Recalling the previous two failed cases of coaxing His Majesty, Luo Wenge knew the times and was a gentleman, bowed his head and said: "I know I was wrong, I shouldn't enter such a dangerous place at will, let alone argue with such a dangerous person , put your life on the line.”
His attitude was impeccable at all times, but Xiao Yulan was still not satisfied.
Xiao Yulan looked at him coldly, her lips were tightly pursed and her profile was extremely sharp, exuding the majesty of being an emperor.
Luo Wenge's eyes made him look cowardly, he didn't show his arrogance in front of others at all, he was just a little cowardly.
He still wanted to say something about admitting his mistakes, he had already said everything he could and should say, and it would be dishonest to repeat it this time.
After thinking about it, his eyes moved slightly to Xiao Yulan's sleeve.
When Xiao Yulan was angry at him for being disobedient, a few more white and slender fingers suddenly appeared in his sight. The nails of these fingers were neatly manicured, glowing with healthy pink, and there was a light crescent moon on them, which was pleasing to the eye.
That finger was like a little man who knew he had made a mistake. He timidly huddled around his sleeve. Hold the sleeve edge, pull it pitifully.
Xiao Yulan paused slightly, followed her fingers to look at the troublemaker, and met Shang Luo Wenge's sincere eyes.
His pair of sentimental peach blossom eyes are really wonderful, allowing people to read the inner words of the master.
For example, at this time, Xiao Yulan read about his guilt, his confession, and his... overtures.
It was indeed enough to confuse people, but it was far from enough to extinguish the strong flame in Xiao Yulan's heart. He pulled back his sleeves abruptly, turning his face away not wanting to look at this irritating mess.
After a while, Xiao Yulan noticed that someone was hooking her sleeve again, and tugged it flatteringly, showing caution.
Xiao Yulan insisted on not looking at him, God knows how scared she was when she rushed all the way.
When I went to Man Tea House, I saw the fire inside was extinguished, and when I caught the shopkeeper and asked, two big living people disappeared out of thin air. What an absurd thing this is.
Xiao Yulan didn't believe that set of rhetoric, and the accompanying shadow guards opened the mechanism, came in in a hurry and almost got poisoned, and wondered if he would notice this when he came in, if he was tricked and was taken away, where would he find him?
For the first time in her life, Xiao Yulan knew how much attention she paid to this young minister of Dali Temple, and she seemed to understand why Eunuch Li was so worried.
Because this kind of worry that he can't wait for a moment is really not like the correct attitude that a king should have towards his ministers.
Then seeing that people are safe and sound, the feeling of gratitude that I put back in my stomach is indescribable.
Anger is anger, and I really want to teach him a lesson!
Xiao Yulan was determined to make Luo Wenge reflect on this incident, so no matter what Luo Wenge did, she would not respond.
Luo Wenge also realized the seriousness of the matter, even if he tried to show his favor, Xiao Yulan ignored him.
He didn't know that this trip to the secret path would make Xiao Yulan so angry, and he didn't know that he would make Xiao Yulan nervous until he left the palace and only had time to put on a fox fur over the dragon robe as a cover.
At this moment, his heart was moved and heartbroken.
But this feeling came and went quickly, just because Yu Linjun finished dealing with the people in the room, Xiao Yulan raised his sword and left him to go out of the room without even looking at him.
Luo Wenge only felt that the breath was stuck in his throat, making him uncomfortable.
After fighting in the crowd for a long time, Jiang Lin, who finally came back to him, saw his aggrieved face, and asked, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing." Luo Wenge's face was filled with displeasure, and he couldn't help saying, "It makes people angry, I don't know how to coax them."
Jiang Lin grabbed his sleeves and wiped the blood on his face. Hearing this, he was also a little helpless: "This subordinate can't help you."
Luo Wenge smiled wryly: "I know, it makes me feel better to say it."
Jiang Lin seemed to understand and nodded, and when he saw him walking out, he hurriedly followed.
Xiao Yulan ignored him, so he couldn't just turn around and leave, he still had to follow her.
Fortunately, Xiao Yulan just ignored him, did nothing else, and tacitly accepted wherever he went, otherwise Luo Wenge might not be able to control the arrogance factor in his bones, and would speak rudely.
After leaving the room and then the courtyard, Luo Wenge still didn't recognize where they were. When he walked up the village path and saw the houses on the side of the road, a flash of light flashed in his mind: "This is Chenjia Village."
Xiao Yulan still ignored him.
Luo Wenge rubbed the tip of his nose in embarrassment, feeling that Xiao Yulan's anger would take a while to dissipate.
He was a little worried, really, how should he tell the other party about the Tianming Pavilion, and how should he investigate?
Without Xiao Yulan's will, many things would be difficult to handle.
He tried his best to think of ways to coax Xiao Yulan, but to no avail for a long time, he couldn't help regretting why he didn't watch more TV shows and study.After thinking about it, how could he ever be in such a situation like he is now, and he needs to cooperate and mediate in conspiracy every day to survive.
He sighed, it seemed that Xiao Yulan couldn't be coaxed well today, when he returned to the city, he went to ask Xie Wenxuan for advice.
After all, Xie Wenxuan is a rare transparent person, and in the original book, he is also considered to be a person who knows Xiao Yulan very well.
It is absolutely right to find Xie Wenxuan.
Luo Wenge secretly made up his mind to find him when he gets back!
"Tan Yu." Xiao Yulan looked at the villagers guarding the village entrance with a cold expression.
"Humble position." Tan Yu stepped forward and said.
Xiao Yulan pulled the gap between the walks, and wrote lightly: "From today onwards, you will be responsible for thoroughly investigating this place, and you must go door-to-door to investigate. Anyone who finds suspicious will be taken back to the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and handed over to Xie Wenxuan to deal with it."
Tan Yu raised the hem of his clothes and knelt on the ground, saying loudly, "I obey the order."
After giving this order, Xiao Yulan continued to walk out of the village without even looking at Luo Wenge the whole time.
Luo Wenge: "..."
This temper is a bit big, I really have to go back and find Xie Wenxuan to find a solution.
They went to the entrance of the village and were stopped by the villagers. They were not the opponents of the Imperial Forest Army, and they were caught in a few moments. Luo Wenge's eyelids twitched when he saw it.
Luo Wenge didn't know why Xiao Yulan came here until outside the village.
Eunuch Li, who didn't know when he arrived, had already prepared the dragon chariot, and dragged a bunch of people around to prepare the honor guard for the emperor's trip.
Thinking of why this happened, Luo Wenge felt guilty. The faction in the court was still unclear, and Xiao Yulan should have recharged his energy, but because he made such a move with great fanfare, this basically told Shen Jue and Xu Yingping, where did they find it? What happened.
The price Xiao Yulan paid for coming to save him was really too high, no wonder the other party was so angry.
Luo Wenge, who lost his focus inexplicably, clasped his hands tightly, not daring to bother Xiao Yulan anymore.
When Eunuch Li saw them coming out, he was terrified, and seeing the two of them as if they were at odds with each other, he kept thinking in his heart: old eyes are dim, thinking too much...
After meditating so many times, Eunuch Li greeted Xiao Yulan with small steps: "Your Majesty, it's time to go back to the palace. The Empress sent someone to ask you what you want to eat tonight."
Luo Wenge's face froze, did Eunuch Li come here to make up the knife?
He wanted to cry but looked at Xiao Yulan who was about to get on the dragon chariot but stopped, please go up!
Xiao Yulan turned her head, her eyes slashed him like a knife.
Luo Wenge's whole body froze now, and he really wanted to sing a sad song for himself.
"Really? Did the empress ask someone to ask?" Xiao Yulan asked, the words seemed to slip out of her teeth.
Luo Wenge couldn't help shivering, and really wanted to jump up and cover Eunuch Li's mouth.
The innocent Eunuch Li didn't know what he was thinking, so he stabbed him truthfully: "Yes, Aunt Zooey came to ask in person."
"Very good, I'll go back and see what the queen has prepared." Xiao Yulan said.
Eunuch Li raised his brows with joy, and said in a sharp voice: "Get up and drive back to the palace."
"Wait." Xiao Yulan raised his hand to stop, Eunuch Li hurriedly asked people to stop, and waited for Xiao Yulan's order.
Xiao Yulan looked at Luo Wenge coldly, and smiled extremely falsely: "I didn't ask people to prepare extra horses, so I can only trouble Lord Luo to walk back. Also, go back early, and don't make your family wait, wait, rush!"
Luo Wenge's eyes fell on the two idle horses, threatened by Xiao Yulan's eyes, he didn't dare to disobey at all.
He said honestly: "I will remember your majesty's instructions."
"It's so good." Xiao Yulan bared her teeth and smirked, turned her head expressionlessly, "Go back to the palace."
Eunuch Li wanted to leave the horse to Luo Wenge, but when he saw this, he had no choice but to leave with the guard of honor.
Jiang Lin, who didn't understand what happened from the beginning to the end, asked stupidly: "My lord, why didn't His Majesty give us the horse?"
Luo Wenge's heart, which was riddled with holes, was wounded again, and he wiped his face: "I probably think we don't deserve it."
"Is riding a horse still unworthy?" Jiang Lin's big eyes were full of confusion.
Luo Wenge was tired and didn't like love, and didn't want to give emotional lessons to the stupid guard, so he walked towards Changle City with heavy steps, isn't it just five miles away?just go!
Such lofty aspirations disappeared without a cup of tea. Luo Wenge looked at the gradually setting sun and beat his legs: "Jiang Lin, do you think you can walk back to the city before sunrise tomorrow?"
"My lord, why don't I take you with my qinggong?" Jiang Lin suggested.
Luo Wenge waved his hand: "Forget it."
Really relying on Jiang Lin's light work to return to the city, Xiao Yulan might die of anger.
walk this way
Luo Wenge was ready to wipe his eyes black, but who knew that the bottom was like a fire dragon entrenched, and everything was clearly visible at a glance to the end of his line of sight. Such a grand gesture was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The waiter in the shop said that Man Tea House is the shopkeeper's ancestral family business. If this is true, what about the secret way?
The shopkeeper must also have some problems.
Jiang Lin stood beside him quietly, watching all directions, listening to all directions, secretly pinching a few thin blades with his fingertips.
Entering the secret passage, Jiang Lin's nerves tensed up, wishing he could divide himself into several people and surround him.
Luo Wenge listened attentively. There was no sound in the secret passage, and even his and Jiang Lin's inaudible breathing seemed extraordinarily heavy. It was conceivable that if they walked over rashly, they would probably be noticed before they got there.
But if you don't go there, no one knows where the secret path will go, and the great opportunity in front of you will be wasted in vain.
"Take it easy, □□ is quiet." He explained very softly.
Jiang Lin nodded cautiously, it would be easy to do so without making a sound to the martial arts practitioners.Jiang Lin was even more worried about him. After all, the landlord does not know martial arts, so it is not a secret in Linjiang Tower.
When he really walked, Jiang Lin was surprised to find that Luo Wenge had done an excellent job.
Like a person with high martial arts skills, he landed silently and breathed lightly.
Luo Wenge didn't have any internal strength, he was a person from the new world anyway, and he usually exercises regularly, so it's not difficult to be light-handed.
The walk went smoothly at first, but halfway through, Luo Wenge suddenly stopped, Jiang Lin turned his head and asked with puzzled eyes.
Luo Wenge walked and looked at the walls on both sides, fearing that missing details would cause accidents between him and Jiang Lin.
Although this place is still in Changle City, if something happens, reinforcements will not be available for a while.
It was because of being too careful that Luo Wenge could see the slight difference on the wall.
He pointed to the oil lamp on the wall and motioned Jiang Lin to look at it. Jiang Lin looked at it carefully for a while, and finally saw that the flame was brighter than what he had seen before, with a hint of blue.
Jiang Lin's expression changed slightly, he took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured out a pill and handed it to him.
Luo Wenge squeezed and ate it, and continued walking after Jiang Lin also swallowed.
The further he walked in, Luo Wenge found that the color of the flames became more intense, which also meant that the poison in the oil lamp became stronger.
If it wasn't discovered in time, even if he and Jiang Lin could get here, they would probably be unconscious and could only be captured with their hands tied.
Exploring unknown places is full of danger as well as opportunity.
On the way to the depths of the secret passage, Luo Wenge became more and more careful.
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer oil lamps, and there was a faint light coming in from the secret passage, as if it was coming to an end, Luo Wenge slowed down his pace, and his eyes scanned what could be seen not far away.
Seeing this scene, instead of feeling relieved that Jiang Lin was about to leave the secret path, Jiang Lin became more vigilant.
The fact that nothing happened along the way can only mean that the next test will be more severe. He must protect Luo Wenge with all his heart, otherwise it would not be an exaggeration to apologize with death.
The two held their breath and slowly approached the bright light.
Getting closer.
Luo Wenge raised his hand suddenly, and Jiang Lin stopped immediately.
The breeze blew by, and the voices of small conversations were blown up, and the intermittent sounds were not very real.
Luo Wenge listened with all his might.
"...Xianhe was caught by accident and fell into the hands of Linjiang Tower. He probably couldn't survive. The bat with him was locked in the cell of Dali Temple. Pavilion Master, do you want me to send someone to kill him?"
This voice was full and loud, and it was Man Jinchun who was the most deceptive.
"No need, it's too late to start." A hoarse and rough voice sounded, saying that it was not a male voice, nor was it a female voice.
This should be the Pavilion Master of the Destiny Pavilion mentioned by the bat. I didn't expect to meet here by accident. Luo Wenge was quite surprised, and was caught off guard by this great gift.
"Are you just letting him go like that?" Man Jinchun said unwillingly.
The Pavilion Master didn't seem to care much about this, and asked, "Did Luo Wenge go to the teahouse yesterday?"
"Go." Man Jinchun replied.
The pavilion master nodded: "It's good to go. Today you can see him for me first. If he really wants to surrender, I will meet him in person. Although Shen Ruqing admires him in every possible way, I always feel that he will not cooperate with me easily."
"There is one more thing that I want to report to the pavilion master." Man Jinchun's voice was full of awe, which showed that this matter was very important.
"Say." The pavilion master coughed a few times, gasped for a few rough breaths, listening to his heavy breathing, one can tell that this person is not in good health.
Man Jinchun's tone was impatient and full of worry: "Is the Pavilion Master okay?"
The Pavilion Master coughed a few more times, and took a long time to recover: "It's okay, just tell me, what's the matter."
"Yesterday, Luo Wen Geben was listening by the pillar, and then a man who looked like an attendant came down. After talking to him a few words, he went upstairs to the box and listened to the whole story. Who, the shop clerk said he hadn’t seen it, but because of his extravagance and generosity, he took a few more glances and vaguely remembered that the man’s cuffs were embroidered with dark patterns, which looked like birds, but he didn’t see clearly.”
"The extravagance is overwhelming. He is like a bird, and he also knows Luo Wenge. He is either a vassal king or His Majesty."
"This subordinate also asked the waiter in the shop how old he looked. He said that he looked young and handsome, and he was wearing purple clothes. He might be Xiao Yulan."
The pavilion master fell silent, apparently in deep thought.
Man Jinchun couldn't bear it anymore, and guessed softly: "Luo Wenge and Xiao Yulan appeared in the teahouse at the same time, and they happily went to the box. It can be seen that their relationship is harmonious, at least not as stalemate as outsiders think. Luo Wenge, it's too risky."
"Don't worry about too much, Luo Wenge is very important. With his help, most of the success will be achieved. You must always remember who his father is, and you must know his talents." The pavilion master said.
"Yes." Man Jinchun said.
The pavilion master sighed softly: "Can you put your hand into the court and see how the meeting with Luo Wenge turns out. If it doesn't work out, I'll have to wait another two months. I'm afraid it won't last long in my body. Let's find a good place to go."
"The master of the pavilion is blessed with the same blessings as the heavens, and he will surely live a long life. I am still waiting for the master of the pavilion to become king!" Man Jinchun said sincerely.
The pavilion master sighed deeply again, as if pinning all his hopes on Luo Wenge, he whispered softly: "It is not only me in the Destiny Pavilion who can see the value of Luo Wenge, King Yun and others also intend to win him over. Xiao Yulan is also polite to him now, you haven't noticed that Xiao Yulan has attached importance to him recently, and many things are left to Luo Wenge."
"From this point of view, we don't have a very good chance of winning over him." Man Jinchun told the truth.
As soon as his subordinates told the truth, the pavilion master couldn't help but talk to each other: "If you don't succeed in wooing, then just kill them. No one in the world can get the people I can't get in the Tianming Pavilion. If you keep them, it might be me." The nemesis of Tianming Pavilion, there is a Linjiang Tower that is annoying enough, if there is one less, there will be one less."
"The master of the pavilion is wise, this subordinate will go down to prepare now, and go to the teahouse to have a look later." Man Jinchun said.
The pavilion master didn't speak any more, his ears became quiet, as if no one was there.
Luo Wenge narrowed his eyes. The owner of the Tianming Pavilion is too extreme, and if he can't get it, he will destroy it. From this point of view, he must be vague when talking, and can't be too obvious, otherwise his life will be lost.
They stood here for a while, Luo Wenge was thinking whether to return the same way or go out along the exit to have a look.
Before he could figure out why, there was the sound of footsteps coming from the exit, and someone was coming.
Luo Wenge looked around and didn't find a place to hide. Right now, if someone came in, they would still be exposed if they turned around and ran back. It's better to hide in the dark place of the entrance and catch the person who came in by surprise.
He said softly and quickly: "Catch this person, there is only one of him."
Jiang Lin nodded, and with his keen ears, he could tell that this person was the one with the strong bones in the speech just now. Although he wanted to arrest the one who ordered the landlord to die, but the fact is not allowed, it is fine to catch someone.
The two of them stuck to the backlight of the entrance, waiting for the fish that threw themselves into the net.
The fish did not disappoint them, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and soon they were close to their ears.
There was a soft 'click', and the light at the entrance lit up.
From Luo Wenge's perspective, he could see the extremely simple room layout inside, and the exit of the secret passage was hidden in a room.
Then he saw a monk's shoe, and the indigo hem went up, and it was half a person. The next moment, Man Jinchun, who had never shown his true face, was exposed in front of Luo Wenge and Jiang Lin.
It was a face so ordinary that it was forgotten in a blink of an eye when it was thrown into the crowd, only the eyes were always showing a cunning look.
Man Jinchun's reaction was indeed worthy of this brilliance, he stepped into the secret path with one foot, frowned slightly, feeling that the matter was not easy, turned around and wanted to run.
How could Luo Wenge let him fly away like a duck with its mouth full?
The moment Jiang Lin raised his hand, Jiang Lin flew out like an off-string arrow, reaching to catch Man Jinchun, but in the blink of an eye, this strong execution successfully convinced Luo Wenge.
This is indeed a hidden guard, not an old lady.
Man Jinchun didn't even have the time to react. When he saw the scene in front of him clearly, the entrance door was closed, and there was a handsome young man standing in front of him with a pretty smile.
Man Jinchun knew Luo Wenge, but he couldn't say it clearly at this time, the best policy was to play dumb.
"Young master, you and I don't know each other, what's the meaning of this?"
Luo Wenge asked in surprise, "Mr. Man has lost his memory?"
"The old man can't understand what the young master is saying." Mantangchun moved the shoulder that was captured by Jiang Lin, and was hit more violently. The pain made Mantangchun's face contort for a moment, and he said coldly, "Young master, I I have no grudges with you in the past, and I have no grudges in the present, so it is not appropriate to be cruel like this?"
"Did Mr. Man forget the content of yesterday's storytelling or the book for entertainment?" Luo Wenge asked with a smile.
Seeing that he could no longer pretend, Man Jinchun pretended to be surprised and said: "It turned out to be Luo Shaoqing of Dali Temple. I am so disrespectful. It's just that this old man didn't indicate his name, and he didn't admit it openly. I'm afraid Luo Shaoqing treated me like this." It is inconsistent with law and reason.”
"I'm wondering about something." Luo Wenge pretended to be puzzled and walked back and forth for two steps, seeing Man Jinchun's wary expression, he stopped in his tracks.
Man Jinchun swallowed nervously, waiting made people feel tormented.
Luo Wenge half-curled his lips: "Mr. Man is not surprised that I'm in the secret passage, pretending to be scared, but my tone and breath are unreasonably steady. Is there someone protecting your life outside?"
He looked at the closed door with burning eyes, eager to try: "Is it the Pavilion Master of the Destiny Pavilion who sounds like he left?"
Man Jinchun was surprised for a short while, never expecting him to be so meticulous, he even guessed this: "Luo Shaoqing is so smart, it's no wonder that the pavilion master has a heart of love for talents."
"Then I really have to thank the Pavilion Master face to face, Luo is weak, I'm afraid I can't bear this kind of affection." Luo Wenge sarcastically said.
With his attitude, it was hard not to make Man Jinchun think too much, and kept guessing in his mind when he arrived here.
Luo Wenge didn't give Man Jinchun a chance to ask questions, and said to Jiang Lin, "Detain him, let's go out and meet that Heavenly Destiny Pavilion master."
Jiang Lin obeyed his orders, holding Man Jinchun's hand even harder, and when Luo Wenge found the mechanism to open the door, he went out first, using himself as a shield protector.
Seeing this move, Luo Wenge didn't say anything.
The simple room that had been glimpsed before gradually appeared before the two of them. Together with them, they saw dozens of masked men holding long swords. A thin man in a wheelchair and wearing a silver mask stopped at the door. It's hard to tell the man and woman, Luo Wenge easily guessed the identity of this person.
"I didn't expect Luo Shaoqing to be so impatient, to come here first, and let the humble house shine." The male but female voice said.
Luo Wenge took a step forward: "I didn't expect that a storyteller would find this."
"Oh? I heard Luo Shaoqing mean that he didn't know he belonged to me, and it was all an accident to come here?" asked the pavilion master.
Luo Wenge nodded seriously, fooling people with seriousness: "Recently, there have been a lot of books in the city centered on me, and there is a lot of trouble every morning to impeach me. Your Majesty is very annoying. He secretly sent me to investigate this matter. Self-proving innocence. Yesterday I heard that Man Jinchun, who wrote the story book, was going to tell a story, so I came to listen to it. It was amazing, and he insinuated me. I am not very good-tempered, and I can’t listen to nonsense. I wanted to catch Man Jinchun, but unfortunately I failed."
The pavilion master seemed to believe his nonsense, and nodded repeatedly.
Luo Wenge was still dissatisfied, and asked: "If I were to be the pavilion master, what would I do?"
"You can't rub sand in your lower eyes. If you meet such a person, you will get rid of them quickly." The pavilion master replied in a gentle voice.
Luo Wenge stopped talking, and looked at the pavilion master with a faint smile.
The pavilion master was silent for a moment, and suddenly looked at Man Jinchun with something strange.
Man Jinchun was watching the conversation between the two silently, thinking that the pavilion master could save himself from the fire and water, but the more he listened to it, the more wrong it became, and seeing the murderous eyes of the pavilion master, Man Jinchun could no longer calm down, and said in panic : "Pavilion Master, you can't kill me, I have no credit but hard work, since I have worked for Tianming Pavilion for decades, Pavilion Master let me go."
The pavilion master shook his head regretfully, and his tone was full of reluctance: "I don't want your life either, but there is no way, who let you ruin Luo Shaoqing's reputation, make people unhappy, and make him leave a bad impression on Tianming Pavilion, which will affect you. It is absolutely impossible for me to cooperate with him. Sacrifice you alone to win Luo Shaoqing's favor, and you will be regarded as a worthy death."
Man Jinchun was terrified, and turned to look at Luo Wenge: "Luo Shaoqing, please forgive me, that was not my original intention, but the intention of the pavilion master."
Hearing the words, Luo Wenge looked at the calm Pavilion Master, and said casually, "I want to hear the truth."
"The truth is that he did this kind of thing without authorization in order to get me to use him, in a delusion to attract Luo Shaoqing." The pavilion master's posture of throwing the pot was very elegant, without any muddling.
Man Jinchun, who took the blame, was not honest either, after all, he made his living by talking about it, and he spoke very sharply.
"Don't trust him, he tricked you out just to kill you, any cooperation, any love for talent is fake, he is actually—"
It's a pity that Man Jinchun couldn't say the rest of the words, with an arrow piercing through the air stuck in his chest.
Luo Wenge looked at the archer, but it turned out to be the pavilion master sitting in a wheelchair and in poor health.
He looked at the end of the arrow, and it was the same as the one that the feudal lord went to Beijing to assassinate that day, the bat was indeed telling the truth.
He patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder and told him to put down the dead Man Jinchun.
"Why is the pavilion master so eager to kill people? I think he still has something to say, and the pavilion master doesn't want to know what he said?"
The pavilion master handed the bow to the person beside him, and pushed the wheelchair towards the table: "There are some things that don't need to be known too clearly, you can live happier if you don't know anything, please sit down, Luo Shaoqing."
Luo Wenge calmly walked over and sat down opposite the pavilion master, took the teacup pushed over by the other party and put it in front of him, not intending to drink at all.
The pavilion master saw it, and said with a smile: "Could it be that Luo Shaoqing is afraid that I will be poisoned?"
"Where, I have a lot of problems. I don't drink tea unless it's made with morning dew, and I don't eat it unless it's weird. I have a tricky taste and a delicate body." Luo Wenge said nonsense.
This made the pavilion master silent for a long time, even if he couldn't see the expression, he could know how shocked he was.
This is what Luo Wenge wanted. He knew how passive it would be if he was manipulated by someone else. Before the other party had even the slightest respect for him, he had to seize the initiative. I don't know if the shadow guard Xiao Yulan assigned to him knew. Know how to play by ear.Otherwise, he can only save himself.
The pavilion master picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, exclaiming: "Luo Shaoqing is living such a fairy life, I am so envious."
"The pavilion master was joking. I look at the expensive clothes of the pavilion master, so he must be a person who does not worry about gold and silver." Luo Wenge turned the teacup lightly, staring at the pavilion master with a slight smile in his eyes.
The pavilion master bowed his hands, saying with shame: "I will tell you nothing about Luo Shaoqing, this is the most exquisite set of clothes for me. If I hadn't come to see Luo Shaoqing today, I would never be willing to take it out and wear it."
Luo Wenge understood.
If he was talking nonsense and deceiving people earlier, the pavilion master is also like this.
When two people who are good at serious nonsense meet, they won't be able to hear even the slightest truth.
Luo Wenge knew this, and the owner of the Tianming Pavilion on the opposite side also thought of it. The two looked at each other, and both gave insincere fake smiles.
At the same time, I said in my heart: They are all foxes who are mixed into spirits, why are they pretending to be innocent here?
At this moment, Luo Wenge definitely would not speak first, he turned the teacup while looking at the pavilion master who wanted his life.
This look reveals something.
A person's face and figure can be disguised, but what is exposed cannot be hidden.
Previously, the bat said that he could not see the face of the pavilion master, but could only hear the voice of a man or a woman.
Luo Wenge was different, he really saw people, and there were more places to observe.
First of all, this pavilion master does not have an Adam's apple. Based on this alone, Luo Wenge can be sure that he is actually her.
When she was not the pavilion master, she was probably also a red makeup who loved to dress up very much, otherwise there would be no piercings on the earlobes as delicate as jade carvings, and her hair was well maintained, and the color was like ink and satin.
The skin is very fair, the fingers are as green and tender as green onions, and the edges of the nails seem to be light red, which may be Danko dyed during red makeup.
But these are far from enough to determine who this person is.
Luo Wenge stopped his hands, looked up at the pavilion master's face, the mask was so well made, he really couldn't see anything.
His sizing made the pavilion master a little uneasy, and he shrank his hands into his sleeves unexpectedly: "What is Luo Shaoqing looking at?"
"I was wondering what kind of person Shen Guifei could praise so much, and she tried her best to recommend me to meet." Luo Wenge mentioned Shen Ruqing on purpose. He remembered that Shen Ruqing said that this pavilion master was an old acquaintance.
He has been able to confirm that this person is a woman, then... he suddenly has a way to verify.
No one would feel that having too many useful clues is a burden, Luo Wenge tried his best to formulate words.
It's a pity that the pavilion master was aware of his purpose, but the other party didn't answer directly: "I'm afraid Luo Shaoqing has misunderstood, I don't know Concubine Shen, I only have a few letters with her, that's all."
The relationship was cleared up very quickly, even more acutely than Luo Wenge imagined.
"The Pavilion Master doesn't need to rush to explain, I just sigh, isn't it thanks to Concubine Shen that I have the opportunity to meet the Pavilion Master? Let me know that there is such a long-sighted person as the Pavilion Master in this world."
"What Luo Shaoqing said is becoming more and more incomprehensible. I can't stay here any longer. Now that we have met, why don't we talk about important matters?"
"What is the main thing that the pavilion master said?" Luo Wenge pretended not to know, and his face was full of thirst for solutions.
Even if the pavilion master saw that he was pretending, and was forced to cooperate, he could only explain: "You and I join hands to control the court and become the real ministers who exercise power. Let Ning Dynasty become a plaything in the palm of your hand. Isn't ambition exciting?"
This matter is very exciting for women, but it is not satisfactory to Luo Wenge's ears.
He was full of disapproval: "The pavilion master is too one-sided. You know that there are all kinds of factions in the Ning Dynasty now, and there is a northern border outside. Even if you and I cooperate, there is still a very long way to go."
"Then what does Luo Shaoqing mean?"
"It's not as good as this. I pretend to seek the cooperation of the princes to unify the Ning Dynasty. The pavilion master goes to the border and tries every means to bring the northern border into his pocket. When you and I join forces, won't the whole world belong to us?"
For the observers, what Luo Wenge said was far more exciting and ambitious than what the pavilion master proposed, and just listening to it made their blood boil.
But passion is not enough, we have to proceed from reality.
The pavilion master angrily slapped the table: "Luo Wenge, if you don't want to cooperate, just say it, so why not mock the pavilion master?"
Luo Wenge pretended to be surprised: "How did the pavilion master say this? Is Luo's way of speaking bad, or Luo's attitude is not sincere?"
The pavilion master pointed at his trembling fingers, as if he was very angry: "The wild land in northern Xinjiang is full of wind and sand, you let this broken body of the pavilion master go, don't you sincerely want me to die?"
Luo Wenge smiled slightly, his eyes were cold: "Pavilion Master thinks you can last until the day you become a minister of power?"
He is not a doctor and cannot diagnose life expectancy, but Jiang Lin beside him can.
When it comes to this, it's a shame, and there's no need to pretend.
Luo Wenge sneered at each other: "You don't need to fool the people in the Destiny Pavilion with your glory and wealth anymore, it's all fake to want to be a powerful minister, what you want to do is to disrupt the court and make the muddy water of the Ning Dynasty even more muddy. "
"Stop talking nonsense." The pavilion master gritted his teeth angrily, "It seems that you didn't come to cooperate, but to make trouble for the pavilion master. If that's the case, you can kill him."
While speaking, the Pavilion Master stepped back quickly, raised his finger lightly and waved his cherry lips lightly: "Go."
At this time, this scene is very familiar, but there is Jiang Lin by his side, there is no such master who kills people without seeing people, and it depends on Jiang Lin whether he can live or not.
Luo Wenge didn't panic at all in the face of dozens of masked people, he simply said, "Jiang Lin, grab her."
Jiang Lin drew out the soft sword from his waist, and with one strike, he slashed all directions, and then avoided the attack. Looking at the place Luo Wenge pointed to earlier, there was a rare fluctuation on his dull face: "My lord, she's gone."
Luo Wenge took a look, and the person really disappeared.
At this time, countless masked people poured in from outside the house, filling the small room to the brim, making it difficult for people to use their hands and feet.
Luo Wenge looked solemn: "Jiang Lin, can you do it?"
He raised his leg and pulled out a dagger from his boots, laying it across in front of him, ready for a bloody battle in his heart.
Jiang Lin didn't change his face: "It can be done, young master try to hide behind me, and protect yourself if there is danger."
Luo Wenge smiled: "How can I let you suffer from a knife."
"What a master and servant who love each other deeply." The voice of the pavilion master who had disappeared came from mid-air, and said sinisterly, "Today, let me see how steadfast your relationship is."
"Then I'm afraid I will disappoint you." Another cold and ruthless domineering male voice interjected forcefully, coming towards my face with a fierce momentum.
Luo Wenge turned around in surprise, seeing Xiao Yulan holding a long sword, he raised his lips and smiled.
Xiao Yulan looked at him coldly, and reprimanded slightly: "I'll settle the score with you when I get back."
Luo Wenge's surprise vanished in an instant, thinking: Are you here to save me or to scare me?
"Oh, I didn't expect that killing the young minister of Dali Temple would attract His Majesty's presence. I feel very honored. Let's say goodbye today. The future will be long. Luo Wenge, after seeing me, your hard life will begin. Just wait and see! "
Xiao Yulan's expression became more and more ruthless, and he could tell from the voice that this person had already gone far away, relying on internal force to transmit the sound, he looked at the masked man crowded in the room again, and said indifferently: "Kill him."
From behind him, Tan Yu led people out in a file, fighting with the masked people like killing gods.
Another group of people surrounded them to prevent anyone from rushing over.
In this safe and cramped world for the time being, Xiao Yulan immediately settled the score with an unreasonable expression on her face: "How did you promise me yesterday?"
Luo Wenge felt wronged, and said with a dry smile, "I didn't expect the secret way to be so easy to find, and so easy to enter."
"I didn't expect that the mastermind behind the scenes would be the same person as the one who invited you, let alone that the other party would suddenly kill you?" Xiao Yulan automatically added what he hadn't finished.
Luo Wenge gave Xiao Yulan a thumbs up: "Your Majesty is really a god."
Xiao Yulan raised her hand to 'snap' his hand away, her complexion became even worse: "I'm here to listen to your glib talk?"
Just judging from this reaction and tone, Xiao Yulan was really angry, and he was holding back his temper at this time before speaking. If he didn't know his mistake, the other party would probably turn around and leave.
Recalling the previous two failed cases of coaxing His Majesty, Luo Wenge knew the times and was a gentleman, bowed his head and said: "I know I was wrong, I shouldn't enter such a dangerous place at will, let alone argue with such a dangerous person , put your life on the line.”
His attitude was impeccable at all times, but Xiao Yulan was still not satisfied.
Xiao Yulan looked at him coldly, her lips were tightly pursed and her profile was extremely sharp, exuding the majesty of being an emperor.
Luo Wenge's eyes made him look cowardly, he didn't show his arrogance in front of others at all, he was just a little cowardly.
He still wanted to say something about admitting his mistakes, he had already said everything he could and should say, and it would be dishonest to repeat it this time.
After thinking about it, his eyes moved slightly to Xiao Yulan's sleeve.
When Xiao Yulan was angry at him for being disobedient, a few more white and slender fingers suddenly appeared in his sight. The nails of these fingers were neatly manicured, glowing with healthy pink, and there was a light crescent moon on them, which was pleasing to the eye.
That finger was like a little man who knew he had made a mistake. He timidly huddled around his sleeve. Hold the sleeve edge, pull it pitifully.
Xiao Yulan paused slightly, followed her fingers to look at the troublemaker, and met Shang Luo Wenge's sincere eyes.
His pair of sentimental peach blossom eyes are really wonderful, allowing people to read the inner words of the master.
For example, at this time, Xiao Yulan read about his guilt, his confession, and his... overtures.
It was indeed enough to confuse people, but it was far from enough to extinguish the strong flame in Xiao Yulan's heart. He pulled back his sleeves abruptly, turning his face away not wanting to look at this irritating mess.
After a while, Xiao Yulan noticed that someone was hooking her sleeve again, and tugged it flatteringly, showing caution.
Xiao Yulan insisted on not looking at him, God knows how scared she was when she rushed all the way.
When I went to Man Tea House, I saw the fire inside was extinguished, and when I caught the shopkeeper and asked, two big living people disappeared out of thin air. What an absurd thing this is.
Xiao Yulan didn't believe that set of rhetoric, and the accompanying shadow guards opened the mechanism, came in in a hurry and almost got poisoned, and wondered if he would notice this when he came in, if he was tricked and was taken away, where would he find him?
For the first time in her life, Xiao Yulan knew how much attention she paid to this young minister of Dali Temple, and she seemed to understand why Eunuch Li was so worried.
Because this kind of worry that he can't wait for a moment is really not like the correct attitude that a king should have towards his ministers.
Then seeing that people are safe and sound, the feeling of gratitude that I put back in my stomach is indescribable.
Anger is anger, and I really want to teach him a lesson!
Xiao Yulan was determined to make Luo Wenge reflect on this incident, so no matter what Luo Wenge did, she would not respond.
Luo Wenge also realized the seriousness of the matter, even if he tried to show his favor, Xiao Yulan ignored him.
He didn't know that this trip to the secret path would make Xiao Yulan so angry, and he didn't know that he would make Xiao Yulan nervous until he left the palace and only had time to put on a fox fur over the dragon robe as a cover.
At this moment, his heart was moved and heartbroken.
But this feeling came and went quickly, just because Yu Linjun finished dealing with the people in the room, Xiao Yulan raised his sword and left him to go out of the room without even looking at him.
Luo Wenge only felt that the breath was stuck in his throat, making him uncomfortable.
After fighting in the crowd for a long time, Jiang Lin, who finally came back to him, saw his aggrieved face, and asked, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing." Luo Wenge's face was filled with displeasure, and he couldn't help saying, "It makes people angry, I don't know how to coax them."
Jiang Lin grabbed his sleeves and wiped the blood on his face. Hearing this, he was also a little helpless: "This subordinate can't help you."
Luo Wenge smiled wryly: "I know, it makes me feel better to say it."
Jiang Lin seemed to understand and nodded, and when he saw him walking out, he hurriedly followed.
Xiao Yulan ignored him, so he couldn't just turn around and leave, he still had to follow her.
Fortunately, Xiao Yulan just ignored him, did nothing else, and tacitly accepted wherever he went, otherwise Luo Wenge might not be able to control the arrogance factor in his bones, and would speak rudely.
After leaving the room and then the courtyard, Luo Wenge still didn't recognize where they were. When he walked up the village path and saw the houses on the side of the road, a flash of light flashed in his mind: "This is Chenjia Village."
Xiao Yulan still ignored him.
Luo Wenge rubbed the tip of his nose in embarrassment, feeling that Xiao Yulan's anger would take a while to dissipate.
He was a little worried, really, how should he tell the other party about the Tianming Pavilion, and how should he investigate?
Without Xiao Yulan's will, many things would be difficult to handle.
He tried his best to think of ways to coax Xiao Yulan, but to no avail for a long time, he couldn't help regretting why he didn't watch more TV shows and study.After thinking about it, how could he ever be in such a situation like he is now, and he needs to cooperate and mediate in conspiracy every day to survive.
He sighed, it seemed that Xiao Yulan couldn't be coaxed well today, when he returned to the city, he went to ask Xie Wenxuan for advice.
After all, Xie Wenxuan is a rare transparent person, and in the original book, he is also considered to be a person who knows Xiao Yulan very well.
It is absolutely right to find Xie Wenxuan.
Luo Wenge secretly made up his mind to find him when he gets back!
"Tan Yu." Xiao Yulan looked at the villagers guarding the village entrance with a cold expression.
"Humble position." Tan Yu stepped forward and said.
Xiao Yulan pulled the gap between the walks, and wrote lightly: "From today onwards, you will be responsible for thoroughly investigating this place, and you must go door-to-door to investigate. Anyone who finds suspicious will be taken back to the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and handed over to Xie Wenxuan to deal with it."
Tan Yu raised the hem of his clothes and knelt on the ground, saying loudly, "I obey the order."
After giving this order, Xiao Yulan continued to walk out of the village without even looking at Luo Wenge the whole time.
Luo Wenge: "..."
This temper is a bit big, I really have to go back and find Xie Wenxuan to find a solution.
They went to the entrance of the village and were stopped by the villagers. They were not the opponents of the Imperial Forest Army, and they were caught in a few moments. Luo Wenge's eyelids twitched when he saw it.
Luo Wenge didn't know why Xiao Yulan came here until outside the village.
Eunuch Li, who didn't know when he arrived, had already prepared the dragon chariot, and dragged a bunch of people around to prepare the honor guard for the emperor's trip.
Thinking of why this happened, Luo Wenge felt guilty. The faction in the court was still unclear, and Xiao Yulan should have recharged his energy, but because he made such a move with great fanfare, this basically told Shen Jue and Xu Yingping, where did they find it? What happened.
The price Xiao Yulan paid for coming to save him was really too high, no wonder the other party was so angry.
Luo Wenge, who lost his focus inexplicably, clasped his hands tightly, not daring to bother Xiao Yulan anymore.
When Eunuch Li saw them coming out, he was terrified, and seeing the two of them as if they were at odds with each other, he kept thinking in his heart: old eyes are dim, thinking too much...
After meditating so many times, Eunuch Li greeted Xiao Yulan with small steps: "Your Majesty, it's time to go back to the palace. The Empress sent someone to ask you what you want to eat tonight."
Luo Wenge's face froze, did Eunuch Li come here to make up the knife?
He wanted to cry but looked at Xiao Yulan who was about to get on the dragon chariot but stopped, please go up!
Xiao Yulan turned her head, her eyes slashed him like a knife.
Luo Wenge's whole body froze now, and he really wanted to sing a sad song for himself.
"Really? Did the empress ask someone to ask?" Xiao Yulan asked, the words seemed to slip out of her teeth.
Luo Wenge couldn't help shivering, and really wanted to jump up and cover Eunuch Li's mouth.
The innocent Eunuch Li didn't know what he was thinking, so he stabbed him truthfully: "Yes, Aunt Zooey came to ask in person."
"Very good, I'll go back and see what the queen has prepared." Xiao Yulan said.
Eunuch Li raised his brows with joy, and said in a sharp voice: "Get up and drive back to the palace."
"Wait." Xiao Yulan raised his hand to stop, Eunuch Li hurriedly asked people to stop, and waited for Xiao Yulan's order.
Xiao Yulan looked at Luo Wenge coldly, and smiled extremely falsely: "I didn't ask people to prepare extra horses, so I can only trouble Lord Luo to walk back. Also, go back early, and don't make your family wait, wait, rush!"
Luo Wenge's eyes fell on the two idle horses, threatened by Xiao Yulan's eyes, he didn't dare to disobey at all.
He said honestly: "I will remember your majesty's instructions."
"It's so good." Xiao Yulan bared her teeth and smirked, turned her head expressionlessly, "Go back to the palace."
Eunuch Li wanted to leave the horse to Luo Wenge, but when he saw this, he had no choice but to leave with the guard of honor.
Jiang Lin, who didn't understand what happened from the beginning to the end, asked stupidly: "My lord, why didn't His Majesty give us the horse?"
Luo Wenge's heart, which was riddled with holes, was wounded again, and he wiped his face: "I probably think we don't deserve it."
"Is riding a horse still unworthy?" Jiang Lin's big eyes were full of confusion.
Luo Wenge was tired and didn't like love, and didn't want to give emotional lessons to the stupid guard, so he walked towards Changle City with heavy steps, isn't it just five miles away?just go!
Such lofty aspirations disappeared without a cup of tea. Luo Wenge looked at the gradually setting sun and beat his legs: "Jiang Lin, do you think you can walk back to the city before sunrise tomorrow?"
"My lord, why don't I take you with my qinggong?" Jiang Lin suggested.
Luo Wenge waved his hand: "Forget it."
Really relying on Jiang Lin's light work to return to the city, Xiao Yulan might die of anger.
