a ruthless swordsman

122.

Wow, this Chuluan mansion is so grand.

I squatted on the roof to rest for a long time, and I saw three beautiful sisters in gold and silver bickering, two water-carrying boys fighting over who should work less, and two sisters getting together to kiss each other.

As expected of the prince's mansion, it is all-encompassing, and the microcosm of all living beings is contained in it.

I will keep it a secret for those two sisters, Amitabha, I hope the prince will not find out that his two concubines have both abandoned him.

It was getting late, and finally a man in charge appeared. My eyes lit up, and I jumped down to ask him a question.

The steward opened his mouth and wanted to call someone——

Alas, there is no other way, I can only seal his dumb acupoint.

I said, "What an offense, I'll leave after asking a few questions. I won't rob you of money or sex, and I won't harm your lord. Don't worry."

"I asked, you can answer with a nod and shake your head, understand?"

The steward only had two nostrils to vent, and nodded reluctantly.

I went straight to the point, described Jiang Yufeng's appearance, and then asked him if he had seen this person in the mansion.

The steward's eyes flickered slightly, and then shook his head.

I knew it in my heart: "Oh, that's what I saw."

Steward: "..."

I asked again: "Is Xu Mu locked up in your house?"

This time the steward looked at me as if he was looking at a strong man holding a butcher knife, and it was my turn to be speechless.

I was patient and polite: "Can you take me to see him?"

According to my observation for half an afternoon, Chu Luan was not at the residence, nor was Jiang Yufeng.

"You don't have to worry. Xu Mu has no grievances or enmities with your lord. I just used a place to lock him up. I know all of this. Mr. Jiang knows me, so even if he knew, he wouldn't blame you."

The steward is a loyal steward, and he put on a posture that he would rather die than surrender, so I had no choice but to give up.

I retreated to the roof again, forget it, let's talk about it when the master of the palace comes back.

While waiting for Chu Luan, I wondered where I should flee after leaving the capital.If I want to go all the way to Hei, Baicaomen is the best place for me.

There are quite a few people who are acquainted with me in the Jianghu, but no matter where I go, most of them will give my father a face, presumably they let me stay in the open, and secretly deliver a letter to Jianzong.

Only Sister Mu, who doesn't follow the routine, is somewhat reliable.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yufeng appeared.

Walking side by side with him is a man with a brocade robe and a luxurious temperament, most likely the little prince Chu.

The steward came out from some corner, and stopped Chu Luan without saying a word, Chu Luan waved at him: "Don't avoid it, just say what you want."

So he said it.

I explained how I restrained him and coerced and lured him to ask him questions.

I:"……"

At the end, Jiang Yufeng asked blankly, "Where is this person now?"

I replied in my heart: "On top of your head."

The steward replied honestly: "Leaving, but someone saw him staying with the beggar at the gate of Xu's mansion for a while."

Me: "..." Did you find out so quickly?

Jiang Yufeng and Chu Luan exchanged glances, turned around and went back without stopping, and had to cross the three or five thresholds before leaving the palace.

Chu Luan rested in the dormitory, propped his head and leaned on the imperial concubine's bed, waved away the maids and servants in and out of the room, and suddenly smiled lightly: "Chang Shaoxia, don't worry, there are only you and me here. King."

I:?

Could it be a fraud?

I continued to lie on the roof holding my breath, and Chu Luan said again: "I know that since you came alone, I don't want to meet Mr. Jiang. I won't force others to do anything."

Wajiang Yufeng really saw the right person, I am afraid that the brains of everyone in the Chu family have grown on Chu Luan's head.

I decided to trust him once, and slowly turned in through the back window.

Chu Luan is a very kind person, not only covered up my whereabouts for me, but also asked me if I was hungry, and invited me to eat some snacks made by the kitchen of the palace.

I swallowed the last piece of cake, took a sip of tea, and sincerely sent my blessings: "Little prince, you will definitely be a good emperor."

Chu Luan was casually ordering tea, and spilled water all over the table with a shake of his hand.He didn't look like a serious prince at all, his eyes were flushed with a smile, and he said cheerfully: "Little young man, you are also a good swordsman."

After living three lives, this was the first time someone praised me as a good swordsman. I immediately introduced Chu Luan as my confidant, and gave him a grateful fist bump.

He turned his head and looked at me with a smile: "Are you full? This king will take you to see Na Xumu."

I quickly raised my head and said yes.

Surrounded by traps in the palace dungeon, Chu Luan casually introduced to me: "The trap at the entrance was designed by Mr. Jiang."

I:"……"

124.

It's been a long time since I saw him, but Xu Mu's figure is still straight, without any rickets.Hearing my undisguised footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes, the pupils of which suddenly tightened, and hurriedly straightened his messy temple hair.

Jiang Yufeng didn't seem to treat him badly, but it couldn't be compared with his carefree life when he was outside.

Across the dark iron cage, I lowered my body and looked directly at him, not knowing where to start.

As of now, there is nothing left to say.

I thought about it and said, "You know, you actually had two lovely sons, Yuxue, and I even hugged one of them."

Xu Mu frowned slightly: "Did she give birth to the child?"

Of course there is no such thing in this life, but there is in the first life.Sister Cheng's child was born with a tiger's head and a tiger's head, but unfortunately I didn't live to see that child's full moon, and I didn't even know his name.

I shook my head and laughed at myself, "You just think I'm talking nonsense."

A contemptuous laugh overflowed from Xu Mu's chest, "Junior Brother, what are you doing here?"

Many things can be solved without asking, but there are still one or two things that need to be asked.I was silent for a while, before my throat became dry, I said, "I saw Senior Brother Qiao a few days ago."

"How is it possible!" Xu Mu panicked for a moment, and lost his voice: "Qiao Yu has been dead for almost ten years, how can you meet him?"

Even though Yuan had already laid the groundwork in his heart, seeing him in such a state, my heart was still empty.

"What if Brother Qiao is not dead?"

Xu Mu said without hesitation, "Impossible."

I lowered my eyes, he woke up suddenly, and said in a low voice: "You are telling me something."

Yes, it's a pity that you have been locked up for so many days, your brain is dull, and your reaction is a step late.

Not long after my father accepted Xu Mu as his senior disciple, he picked up Senior Brother Qiao from the foot of the mountain. If we trace back to the source, Senior Brother Qiao was the apprentice my father valued the most at the beginning.

Sensible but not tactful, smart but not arrogant, although Senior Brother Qiao is a beggar living in dilapidated temples and huts in the streets and alleys, he has never been contaminated by the smoke and dust of the world.

Xu Mu was like an old monk entering meditation, and made a statement for Brother Qiao's short life: "It doesn't matter how popular he was in life, he is dead after death, and he can no longer compete with the living."

I could no longer be angry after listening to him, and asked quietly: "Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother are the same in your eyes, right?"

Xu Mu glanced at me in surprise: "I thought you would ask Xie Ling, why is Li Yanxing worthy of my high regard?"

That's right.

In fact, it is superfluous to ask this sentence again. When he acquiesced that he had nothing to do with Brother Qiao's death, he didn't need to ask any more.

I had achieved my goal of seeing Xu Mu again, so I finally looked down at him and said, "Senior Brother Qiao is doing well now."

Xu Mu kept yelling impossibly behind me, and the dungeon door was bolted from the inside, completely blocking his hoarse voice.

125.

Chu Luan packed a load of pastries for me to take with me on the way to eat.

I was so grateful that I almost called him a brother.

I still lack the courage to call the future emperor a brother.

I said thank you, little lord, I have to leave, and it is a last resort to climb over the wall to come in today.

Chu Luan said it's okay, the next time we meet, you can go directly to the main entrance, no one will stop you.

I thought about it seriously, and regretted it: "Go through the main entrance of the palace? It's a pity that I won't come to the capital again in the near future, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the grand occasion when you ascended the throne."

Chu Luan laughed again and burst into tears: "You are really interesting."

I laughed: "Thank you for the compliment."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After the junior brother slowly left with a package of pastries on his back, Jiang Yingdi quietly appeared.

Chu Luan: Your wife is so cute.

Jiang Yingdi: Nonsense.

Chu Luan: Why do you pretend not to know?

Actor Jiang: Interesting.
