Treasure Hunt

"Master Tang, it's so late, what's the matter?" Jiang Yu asked.

"I came to see you so late, of course I have something to do." Tang Wudu smiled.After finishing speaking, the young man laid out a painting in his hand on several sides of the table, and then said to Nan Ci who was far away from the table: "That little brother, come over and have a look."

Jiang Yu looked down at the painting on the table, which showed a woman holding a jade flute in her hand.The woman was dressed in a sky blue dress, her face was like a peach petal, and her eyes were like a bright moon.There is a little bright red cinnabar between the eyebrows.Jiang Yu has seen this woman several times.In the secret room of the small courtyard in the forbidden area of ​​the villa, in the bamboo forest in the back mountain, and even in the harem of the Xiaoyang Palace, the woman on the painting is not Yan Hui's biological mother, Yan Shenxing's former lover, and now Concubine An ——An Ruge.

The jade flute held by An Ru singer is lavender all over, and a red string is attached to the Xiao tail, with a piece of jade Guanyin tied to it.

Jiang Yu asked calmly, "Mr. Tang, what is the meaning of this?"

Tang Wudu joked with a smile: "You two little brothers, don't tell me that you don't know the woman in the painting."

Jiang Yu said: "What does it matter if you know someone or not?" Right now, An Ruge is Concubine An, and has nothing to do with Chun Yunyan's family.

Tang Wudu said: "Of course it has something to do with it. The jade flute that the owner asked you to find is the one with the woman on it."

Is the jade flute owned by An Ruge?

Jiang Yu was puzzled: "Isn't the purple jade flute belonging to Mrs. Yan?"

Tang Wudu said: "Of course it belongs to Mrs. Yan now, but ten years ago, Mrs. Yan hadn't married into the villa yet."

Jiang Yu asked: "So you want to tell us that the stolen jade flute belongs to Young Master Yan's biological mother?"

Tang Wudu shrugged and said: "I didn't say that, and I don't know who Young Master Yan's biological mother is. I just came here to show you what that purple jade flute looks like, so that you can find it easily."

Jiang Yu understood, and said, "Thank you Mr. Tang."

Tang Wudu smiled brightly: "You're welcome." After speaking, he walked towards the door.

After Tang Wudu left, Jiang Yu looked at Nanci, who was bowing his head in thought, and said, "It seems that the jade flute really has another owner."

If Jiang Yu didn't understand why Yan Shenxing spent so much effort to find that Guan Ziyu Xiao before, now he can guess at all, it must be for the owner of Yuxiao, who is the current Concubine An .Although the latter is now an imperial concubine, Yan Shenxing's obsession with An Ruge is not shallow, otherwise why would he risk his life as an An Ruge's puppet and raise it in the back mountain?If outsiders found out that the woman Yan Shenxing raised in the back mountain was exactly the same as Concubine An Gui of today, then Chun Yunyan's family would inevitably suffer disaster, and the emperor's woman could be imagined by anyone?

However, Yan Shenxing can be regarded as an infatuated type, not to mention guarding that puppet for nearly ten years, and now it is even more for an old thing of An Ruge, and he does not hesitate to spend so much effort to find it back.At the banquet just now, Yan Shenxing said that he was looking for the jade flute to let the current wife untie the knot, but Jiang Yu felt that it was just an excuse.However, He Xiaoyao lamented that Zhuangzhu Yan and his wife are deeply in love with each other, and their love is stronger than gold.

Nan Ci pondered for a while and asked, "Ah Yu, who do you think stole the jade flute?"

Jiang Yu couldn't figure out who would steal that jade flute, could it be the enemy Yan Shenxing provoked in the arena?

"By the way, you haven't told me what happened to Linglong Pavilion." Jiang Yu said, and he just remembered that the conversation between the two of them was suddenly interrupted because of Tang Wudu's sudden visit. of.

Nan Ci is helpless, why does he still remember this incident...

"Linglong Pavilion was actually not called Linglong Pavilion at first." Nanci explained: "It was called "Blood Linglong" at the beginning, and it is not an organization, but a code name."

"A code name?" Jiang Yu was puzzled.

Nanci nodded, and continued: "When I first led the demon world, there would often be troubles caused by blind demons, and the world of cultivating immortals was also angry. Sometimes Ye Min would help me secretly deal with some people in the sect of cultivating immortals. .In the beginning, the mark Ye Min left was just a red bean."

Nan Ci sneered: "He also told me that because red beans are like blood and tears, they are more deterrent and can shock people's hearts."

Jiang Yu's head was full of black lines, and such a vulgar title metaphor was indeed something that Ye Min, a fool who blindly worshiped Nanci, could do.

Jiang Yu asked, "Then what happened later? Why is there another bodhi dice?"

Nanci said: "Later, Shui Miao was bored, and occasionally killed a few people. He kept Bodhi dice, because he felt that Bodhi was pure white, which was more in line with his temperament. Later, Ye Min kept blood red beans, Shui Miao left Bai Bodhi. I remember that the two of them had a fight over what to keep, but unfortunately, they couldn’t decide the winner. In the end, they had to compromise and kept Bodhi. The dice are inlaid with red beans, so they are also called "Blood Linglong". Later, Xue Linglong was used as the symbol of Linglong Pavilion."

After Jiang Yu blushed for a while, Ye Min and Shui Miao got together...Jiang Yu suddenly sympathized with Nanci, who did he know?

"What about you? What role do you play in this? Don't tell me, you didn't participate in their argument." Jiang Yu asked, if it is said that Ye Min and Shui Miao knew each other without Nanci in the middle, Jiang Yu would never believe it of.Maybe it was Nanci who incited the two of them to kill people behind their backs!

Nanci said with a little grievance: "I really don't kill as many as the two of them, most of them are executed. I didn't take any shots, so Linglong Pavilion really has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Yu's eyebrows twitched, and he knew that Nanci was behind Shui Miao and Ye Min's plan to harm the cultivation world.

The young man pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "So the members of Linglong Pavilion, you, Shui Miao, and Ye Min are the only three of you, right?"

Nan Ci smiled confidently: "Even if the number is relatively small, any one of them can resist thousands of monks."

Jiang Yu believes this. The three of them, one is the third prince of Donghai Dragon, one is the leader of Xizhou, and the other is the leader of the Demon Realm. The three of them are going to harm the cultivation world. Jiang Yu is for those who were killed by Xue Linglong. The monks mourned.

Jiang Yu asked: "I've always been curious, why is that Ye Min so obedient to you?" Although Ye Min is Nan Ci's subordinate, Ye Min's admiration for Nan Ci seems a little too much, it seems that as long as It was Nanci's order, no matter what to do or who to kill, Ye Min would definitely carry it out regardless of the reason.Totally immoral!No conscience at all!There is no human ethics at all!However, such a fool with a completely distorted view of right and wrong is the most suitable subordinate of Mozun Nanci.

Nan Ci paused, then smiled and said, "Because I saved his life." Oh, it turned out to be a life-saving grace, no wonder Ye Min obeyed Nan Ci's words.

Jiang Yu withdrew his thoughts, and continued, "Since he is not from Linglong Pavilion, why did Xue Linglong appear at the scene? Someone wants to blame Linglong Pavilion?"

Nan Ci also suppressed his smile when he heard the words, and fell into deep thought.

"Could it be your enemy?" Jiang Yu asked.Thinking of the fact that Nan Ci killed countless people in the past, he would naturally make a lot of enemies, and the incompleteness was caused by someone who had a grudge against Nan Ci.

Nan Ci shook his head and said, "The only person who knows about the relationship between Linglong Pavilion and me, apart from Ye Min and Shui Miao, is you."

Jiang Yu said, "Then who do you think it will be?"

Nan Ci thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I will find it. But now, it's already late at night, so let's rest first."

With many thoughts in Jiang Yu's mind, he nodded subconsciously and walked towards the inner room, without realizing that Tang Wudu had sorted out two rooms for them.

Nanci watched Jiang Yu's behavior of consciously walking towards the bed, and the smile in his eyes deepened...

……

The next day, Jiang Yu and the two got up early. Now that they had figured out what happened to Chunyun Villa, they were entrusted by Yan Shenxing with "trust" to find the purple jade flute. The two of Jiang Yu congratulated Xiao Yao, so naturally they wouldn't stay in the villa any longer.

So early in the morning, Jiang Yu and the two bid farewell to Yan Shenxing and went down the mountain.Fortunately, Jiang Yu still has real estate near the imperial city, which is better than the two staying in the inn all the time.Jiang Yu couldn't help sighing: Fortunately, I had the foresight to solve the problem of living first. After the two went down the mountain, they went directly to the city without much delay.

When the two of them walked to the door of "Zui Qingfeng", it was not yet noon, and there were not too few guests in the building at the moment.After Jiang Yu took over "Drunken Breeze", he changed the way "Peony Pavilion" was operated in the past, and no longer engaged in flesh and blood business, and changed it into an elegant place.Most of the girls who stayed behind also had special skills, such as being good at playing the piano or painting.Relatives and friends in twos and threes, tasting tea, drinking wine, chatting, listening to the piano, appreciating paintings, solving chess, spring flowers and autumn moon, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, also have a special charm.

People who really understand elegance are naturally willing to come here to enjoy the cool breeze and walk through the doors in a chic manner.However, in the land of the imperial city, at the feet of the emperor, there are more arty princes and nobles. Most of these people don't really understand piano and chess, but they are just showing off to satisfy their own vanity.For this kind of people, Du Yun welcomes them most. After all, although they don't understand the connotation, they are generous with money. After all, "Zui Qingfeng" is also for profit. Ever since Jiang Yu took over "Zui Qingfeng", Du Yun's business acumen has been thoroughly discovered. The prestige of "Zui Qingfeng" is rising day by day, and now it is already very famous in Xiaoyang Imperial City.

When Jiang Yu stepped into the gate of "Drunken Breeze", he looked at the few guys busy in the lobby, and looked a little embarrassed. He thought it was Du Yun's new recruit during his absence.

The arrival of the two of Jiang Yu did not attract much attention in the lobby.After all, the new guys only recognize Du Yun, and they have never met this real master.

No one came to entertain him, so Jiang Yu naturally didn't pretend to be the master, but went directly to the second floor, the wing room where he used to live.When Jiang Yu came back last time, the lobby had basically been renovated. When he came back this time, Jiang Yu found that the second floor had also been completely repaired. Compared to before, the bright red silk on the corridor was gone, and the railings were open. The coquettish big red peonies are also gone, and the strong smell of rouge gouache is no longer in the air, but there is a faint fragrance of orchid.

"Young Master, you are back!" Suddenly, an exclamation came from behind the two of them.

Jiang Yu turned around and happened to see Du Yun coming out of a wing room: "Why don't you call us, it will save people from neglecting you."

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, seeing that everyone is busy, I didn't disturb them."

Du Yun walked up to Jiang Yu, said goodbye to the south, and then pushed open the door in front of Jiang Yu, and walked in first: "Young master, come in quickly, this wing room of the young master is taken care of every day. I look forward to the day when you will suddenly come back to the imperial city."

As Du Yun was talking, she turned around and asked, "Is there something important for you when you come back this time?"

Jiang Yu shook his head: "It doesn't matter, but I will live here for a while."

Du Yun was overjoyed upon hearing this: "My lord, you can stay in peace, I'll give you instructions." After speaking, she walked out of the room and closed the door for them intimately.

Although Jiang Yu and Nan Ci were not ordinary people, they walked all the way from Chunyun Mountain Villa to "Drunk Breeze" without using their swords. After walking for half a day, Jiang Yu was also a little tired.Seeing that Du Yun had already gone out, she strutted towards the bed, threw herself on the bed, and muttered indistinctly: "It's too early in the morning, I'll sleep a little longer."

Looking at the man lying on the bed with indecent behavior, Nan Ci felt a little helpless, so he had to let him go.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Jiang Yu opened his eyes in a daze, saw the thin quilt covering him, and knew in his heart that Du Yun and the others would naturally not enter and leave his room at will, which should be covered by Nanci.It is now the end of April, although the weather is not too cold, but Xiaoyang Imperial City is slightly to the north, so it is still windy at this time.

Jiang Yu lifted the quilt casually and got out of bed, Nanci was not in the room.

After tidying up his messy clothes from sleeping, Jiang Yu picked up the ivory folding fan on the desk and walked out of the room.

Just as he walked out of the room, Jiang Yu felt something was wrong.At this time, there is still some time before night, and it stands to reason that business should be in full swing, why is the lobby so quiet?Jiang Yu went downstairs full of doubts, and stopped Li'er who was clearing the table: "Little girl, why are there no guests? Where are Du Yun and the others?"

Because of Du Yun's big fanfare in the morning, everyone in the store now knows that the real master is back, including those newly recruited boys.Therefore, Xiao Li'er was not surprised when she turned around and saw that it was her son. She put down her work and saluted, and then said, "Your master was sleeping upstairs in the morning. Aunt Yun was afraid that the guests downstairs would disturb you, so she sent him away." The guests left. Thinking that the young master doesn't like the crowd, he simply closed the business for a few days, and let the brothers and sisters rest."
