Alternative Jianghu Adventures
Chapter 55
Xia Yun was noncommittal about Lan Sang arranging Wuniang's accommodation first, but she was more concerned about the letter sent back by Shen Gongze, her nominal little uncle, the current pavilion owner of Shen Yuan Pavilion.
In order to deceive people's eyes and ears, the communication between the senior management of Shen Yuan Pavilion has always been not through letters.Although there are not many people like Xia Yun who study the calls of various beasts, at least the high-level people are proficient in one bird language.
But this also created the funny scene where Xia Yun tilted his head and listened intently to the cooing of the white dove.
Qiao Anyue sat aside, playing with the bamboo leaf green on her wrist—it was strange to say, since the little snake followed her, she didn't run around every day, except for disappearing once in a while to find food, and more often It was coiled into a bracelet and sleeping on Qiao Anyue's hand, so well-behaved that she would always forget that it was actually a living poisonous snake!
She watched Xia Yun's nonchalant expression gradually turn serious. She waited until she released the white pigeon and told it to fly back the same way. Then she turned around. The gloomy expression on her face could be called black Charcoal.
Without Qiao Anyue, even if he casually pulls a passerby over on the street, he can tell how bad Xia Yun is in his mood at the moment.
"Yue'er." Xia Yun paced around the room several times, and suddenly slapped it on the round table made of pear blossom wood, which made the tea set on it clang, "When you were in the capital, you heard about the young emperor's Is there a family? Tell me quickly!"
Qiao Anyue immediately spit out the information that she had memorized so well in her heart, "The young emperor's main palace is the daughter of the prime minister, Lu family. There are fourteen concubines, and the main palace has no children, but the other concubines gave birth to a total of three sons and two daughters."
"Is there a child you particularly love?" Xia Yun asked.
Qiao Anyue shook her head, "Young Emperor himself is walking on thin ice in the court, and even he himself cannot protect himself. I have never seen him openly express his love for someone in public."
She paused for a moment and said, "It's just that Lu Kun once had a murderous intention on the child."
"I'm afraid that if there is an heir, it will be easier to threaten my position morally." Xia Yun immediately understood that she didn't let Qiao Anyue's slight pause just now, and asked closely, "What else did you want to say just now?"
"Actually, there should be six children." Qiao Anyue looked impartially at Shang Xia Yun's inquiring expression, "There was a child who happened to be born at the time when Lu Kun was most suspicious, and his mother happened to be Chaozhonghe. Lu Kun is an important minister against him, so I was sent to kill him."
Xia Yun's breath stagnates.
The most cold-blooded killers on the rivers and lakes also have their own rules. Old and young women and children occupy at least one of them, and newborn babies are even more taboos.
No one remains indifferent to the taking of such a small life.
"That's not your fault." After a long time, Xia Yun said in relief.
But in exchange for Qiao Anyue's indifferent response, "But the person who killed the killer was indeed me. I can probably guess what you think in your heart. It's nothing more than some self-blame that I 'should' have. If these , you don’t have to worry about it.”
Qiao Anyue's tone was relaxed, "You forgot, I have no feelings at all. You can take in the unnecessary sympathy in your heart."
Xia Yun was choked up by Qiao Anyue, she shook her head, and stared at the man sitting in front of her with a strange expression—it is true that there was no sign of remorse on her face—but it was just like this , Xia Yuncai felt a heart-wrenching pain from the bottom of his heart.
Not because of the baby who died in the political struggle, but because of this person in front of him who turned himself into a stone without sorrow or joy.
She still remembers what Xia Cunxiu said: "Normal people have seven emotions and six desires, have a guilty conscience, and feel compassion for the world."
But the dead will not.
They turned themselves into sharp weapons for killing, without sorrow or joy, and handed over all their inner struggles to the person holding the knife so that they could linger in the dark.
The more well-intentioned people are often the ones who degenerate the fastest.
Because if you don't deceive yourself, you can't survive the condemnation of conscience.
Even though Qiao Anyue said that the direct descendants of the Qiao family were born with drama skills, Qiao Anyue's drama skills were originally acquired because of being a substitute. Who knows the difference from Qiao Anri, who is naturally ruthless!
After all, Xia Yun couldn't forget Yue'er before he became like that.
When she was a child, Xia Yun was the key to unlock Qiao Anyue's tightly closed door, and when she grew up, Xia Yun also firmly believed that she could regain Qiao Anyue's heart lock that she didn't know when to close.
The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.
Human nature is nailed down to the bone, so Xia Yun doesn't bother to care about those ghosts and snakes who talk about it, just like Xia Yun herself was forced by Xia Cunxiu to laugh even when she was beaten. They just disguised their true selves Wake up—even sometimes after pretending for a long time, I am convinced of my deception.
"...That's why I feel even more distressed." Xia Yun smiled naturally, "Since someone can't do it, then I can only condescend to save that little devil along with your share. ah."
Qiao Anyue: "..."
"Oh, don't spend too much time on such insignificant things, let's continue!" Xia Yun shrugged, and changed the unpleasant topic, "The letter from my little uncle said that after the Nangong Incident, except for those in the main palace That one was all killed, including five children. However, Baicaoyuan got in touch with Shen Yuange afterwards, saying that the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau had people from Baicaoyuan, and they forged two charred corpses beforehand. Changing the civet cat to the prince saved the lives of the two children."
Qiao Anyue immediately felt that it was He Lianqiu who did something wrong.
"Could it be that Shenyuan Pavilion and Baicao Garden don't know about each other?" Qiao Anyue didn't care about Xia Yun and He Lianqiu's secret words in the organ city before.
"After all, there was an incident of Shilijian fleeing from Shenyuan Pavilion before." Xia Yun nodded, "The major forces on Jianghu Road may change sides at any time, and it is really difficult to tell the truth from the fake.
It is well known that Shen Yuan Pavilion stood beside the young emperor after the split, and Lu Kun also took precautions against us.If I hadn't met Helian Qiu before, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known that Baicao Garden had already made a decision. "
"Why didn't the young emperor say it?"
"The contact between us is becoming increasingly difficult under Lu Kun's stalking, not to mention that it was only Helianqiu's decision in advance, and it took a lot of work for her to go back to Dabaicao... After we received the letter, Nangong's change It has happened."
"Furthermore, there are people from Baicao in the Imperial Medical Bureau who are in contact with the young emperor in the name of being able to see a doctor for a long time. Before I asked you if the young emperor had a favorite heir, I just speculated that it was impossible for Baicao to save these two children for no reason. The two must have something special, otherwise Baicao and Youdi wouldn't have spent such a lot of effort!"
Xia Yun analyzed it clearly and said, "Baicao seeks Shen Yuan's asylum for editing books - after all, Baicao is still mainly based on medicine, and the escorts are no match for many experts no matter how good they are. Lu Kun will find out about this sooner or later. It is necessary to prolong the time of discovery as much as possible, and to preserve the sent blood!"
"Did Helian Qiu say where they sent the child?"
As soon as Qiao Anyue asked this question, she met Xia Yun's eyes, and immediately realized that she almost asked nonsense.
After the north and south fought, all the places north of Qingzhou were in chaos!The only safe place is this south and south Lixi!
Relating to the previous information about the proprietress, there is no way to get there by land, and it is only possible to come here by crossing the East China Sea from the east of the capital, crossing the South China Sea and taking the sea route.
"Merchant ship." Qiao Anyue read out Xia Yunwei's words.
"Yes, merchant ships that travel from north to south are the most reliable." Xia Yun counted them one by one with his fingers, "There are many people, large ships, and a lot of cargo. If there is a search, it is easy to take advantage of the loopholes, and even hit the grass. Doing business in the name of drug dealers can also avoid unnecessary entanglements in the world."
"Little Master Uncle originally planned to send someone to go straight to Lixi, but when he heard that I was here, he entrusted this matter to me." Xia Yun sighed, "It's simply squeezing coolies!"
Qiao Anyue naturally wouldn't be fooled by Xia Yun's seemingly casual sighs.
Whether it is related to the court, I am afraid that the master of the Shenyuan Pavilion will not be entrusted to his own people.
After Xia Cunxiu died, Xia Yun grew up under the guidance of Shen Gongze.She has no father or mother, and she regards her teacher as a relative.Although the relationship between Xia Yun and Shen Gongze is not a master-student, nor a superior or a superior, it is more of a father-daughter relationship.
"So that guy Lansang knew about this early on?!" Xia Yun tapped on the table with an impatient expression on his face.
"It seems so."
"I know that we will definitely need the news that we will go north to the fleet in the near future, so I have been wandering in front of us for the past two days!" Xia Yun thought of Lan Sang's face and had a toothache, and he could intuitively list her as someone in the same hateful camp as Cheng Xie up.
Qiao Anyue got up, "Let's go, the tea over there is probably ready."
"I can only make one trip!" Xia Yun gritted his teeth, "Now I don't think that guy has any good intentions in abducting Wu Niang!"
So when Xia Yun just stepped into the main entrance of the hidden pile of Feng Pavilion, he saw the cold and contemptuous eyes of Er Gouzi who was sitting on the eaves.
What also made her feel strange was the smell of blood that had been cleaned in the dark pile - not long ago, people were killed here.
"Hey, what kind of eyes do you have, let me down!" Xia Yun said displeased.
Relying on staying on the high ground, Er Gouzi didn't give her half a good face, and swept away the grievances that had been threatened for the past few days!
"Thank you for giving me Wu Niang, she has helped me a lot here... As an aborigine who has been wandering in Lixi all the year round, I have been able to pry a lot of information from her, so that I can let I will clean up the door of 'will not accept the orders of the emperor abroad'."
A familiar voice came from inside the house.
"The smell of the humble house is a bit heavy, don't take offense to the two of you."
Just a few words changed Xia Yun's previous impression of Lan Sang.
She has only been in Lixi for a few days!Already able to detect something wrong with the hidden pile? !Moreover, he was able to accurately find out the candidates to testify for himself among the entangled roots of local snakes, and use thunderous means to deal the heaviest blow to those decaying moths in the shortest time!
The voice continued: "They are all acquaintances, so I won't say hello."
When the two were in a stalemate, Lan Sang walked out with a smile, and stretched out her hand unceremoniously, "Just give the silver!"
"What money?" Xia Yun was shocked and continued to play dumb.
"In the past month, the routes, sailors, consuls and other relevant information of all the fleets going north...and...the top-secret information about how to coax young children with the nine-nine-81 strokes handed down by our Miao ancestors."
Xia Yun glared at Lan Sang with dead fish eyes.
Can the latter be sold for money?
She touched her conscience and dare to say it again?
Are you sure you didn't come to coax her to play? !
Lan Sang smiled strangely, and did not respond to Xia Yun's question, "If you are a regular customer, I will give you a 1% discount. After wiping off the change...you can just give me [-] taels!"
The author has something to say: I really want to write:
Xia Yun: Doesn't your conscience hurt? !
Lan Sang: This fairy has no conscience!
Thank you for "93#" nutrient solution*6, "Moxi's Xi" nutrient solution*1, "Shining" nutrient solution*160... [Amazing]
Well, in case there are little angels who didn't see the v-entry announcement I added in the previous chapter, I will emphasize the useful one again...
The daily update will start around mid-to-late August, it’s too turbulent to hurt 8
In order to deceive people's eyes and ears, the communication between the senior management of Shen Yuan Pavilion has always been not through letters.Although there are not many people like Xia Yun who study the calls of various beasts, at least the high-level people are proficient in one bird language.
