Sunny Vientiane

Chapter 37 Trap

Mu Xi dragged the boy upstairs, but stopped at the door of the room.

"You can find a place to sleep for the night." Without even looking at the young man, she was about to push the door, and it seemed that she really didn't care about him.

The boy withdrew his gaze from the figure standing downstairs, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Sister, you can't just leave me alone like this."

"Why not?" Mu Xi turned his eyes and glanced at the young man calmly, and said, "I have nothing to do with you, and letting you follow us is a huge concession."

A terrifying undercurrent slowly flowed under Mu Xi's calm gaze, which shocked the young man instantly. He took a step back calmly, and subconsciously wanted to stay away from Mu Xi.The coercion that appeared on her body from time to time had already set up a wall of vigilance in the bottom of the young man's heart.Before, I just heard that Song Tingchuan's martial arts were strong, but I didn't want to, this young master of Wuwei and a girl who had never heard of the name were silent, but it was enough to make people shudder.

He, who has always been pampered and pampered, has never been underestimated by anyone. Not only did the two men subdue him casually with their fingers, but they even ignored his existence intentionally or unintentionally along the way.After all, he was a spy who eavesdropped on their conversation, and the two of them simply ignored him if they let him go so openly.He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. If he had known this, he shouldn't have underestimated the enemy so hastily.

Seeing that the boy was getting farther away from her, Mu Xi's complexion became better, the door covered her figure, and also covered the seriousness in her eyes.Up to now, there has been no news about this young man, let alone understand why the five aristocratic families have not moved for more than ten years, so they suddenly want to attack Song Tingchuan.

Could it be that this young man is talking nonsense?

But the young man's expression at that time did not seem to be fake, not to mention, why did he make such a fake?Just to lure them back to Qingshan?But since Xin Yueming decided to go to Yanjing, let's go to Yanjing.Just in time, I can also catch up with my grandfather's birthday.

It's just that Mu Xi's eyes darken when she thinks of those flies that will come to her as soon as she smells it. It's really unfilial for her to be so self-willed, to leave her grandfather alone after running so far and so long.In fact, she really has no qualifications to say Xin Yueming, because she is not as good as him.

The boy was frustrated, so he had no choice but to ask Xiao Er for a room.When he passed the corridor, he casually glanced down. At this time, Xin Yueming had already turned and went upstairs, and happened to meet his gaze.Perhaps because of unwillingness, the young man deliberately smiled at him, with a suspected provocative taste, as if to say, I am just eavesdropping on you, how about it?

Of course not.Xin Yueming ignored the provocation in his eyes, and brushed past him indifferently, without even a superfluous glance.The young man was not angry, but turned his gaze to Jiang Shuihan and Jiang Qianqian downstairs.These two people seem to have a good relationship with Mr. Wu Nian.

He sent someone to investigate the origin of Young Master Wu Nian before, but the result was the same as that person's, and nothing extra was found.This person seems to have jumped out of nowhere from the cracks in the rocks. Six years ago, he suddenly appeared in Jiangnan to take over Wuweizong's business in place of Wuqing.

Unexpectedly, he was actually connected with Jiang Shuihan.The boy withdrew his gaze, turned and returned to his room, with a slight smile on his face.Is there anything else to think about?This young master of Wu Nian is probably inseparable from the Xin family.

Pushing open the door, a figure stood in the room, light like a rootless shadow, standing in the corner.The young man walked to the table calmly, picked up the freshly brewed tea on the table, and put it to his lips before he looked at the black shadow.

"How about it?"

Hei Ying knelt down on one knee respectfully, and said in a deep voice, "There is no Wuwei sect nearby, and Jiang Ping will part ways with Jiang Shuihan and his party tomorrow."

"That's it." The young man reversed his previous weak performance in front of Xin Yueming and Mu Xi, his peach blossom eyes were shining brightly, and he looked confident that he had everything in his hands, "Master Wu Nian is really as he guessed, so I believe Song Tingchuan is not Something will happen."

"Young Master." Soi Ying showed a worried expression, "We don't know the identity of that person yet, so it's better to be cautious."

"Do you think I would be so stupid to cooperate without knowing the details of the other party?"

"This." Hei Ying was stunned, and said, "Young Master, what exactly does that man want to do?"

"What do you want to do?" The young man smiled, but there was no smile in his peach blossom eyes, "Don't you just want to win everything?" He put away his smile and said lightly, "But you don't have to worry about it. I still remember the disadvantages, and he will not let him use us as a raft."

"Young master, this subordinate will leave first." Hei Ying listened attentively to the movement outside, and couldn't help but whispered, "Young Master Wu Nian is not so easy to deal with."

He was really worried that the young master trusted that person too much, and really thought that Mr. Wu Nian could deal with it so easily.

"Don't worry." The boy nodded, "I will remember."

The black shadow bowed and retreated, quietly hiding in the night outside the window.

Neither Jiang Shuihan nor Jiang Qianqian who went upstairs noticed anything strange, but in the next few rooms, Mu Xi and Xin Yueming froze at the same time, looking out the window tacitly.Mu Xi squinted his eyes to see the black shadow clearly, and there was a playful smile on his lips.Xin Yueming sighed softly, seemingly helpless and mocking, turned around and walked towards the bed.

There was nothing to say all night, as quiet as usual, but it seemed that something had begun to change, and it seemed that nothing had changed.

Jiang Ping said goodbye to Jiang Shuihan early in the morning, and headed towards Hehuanzong. He left too hastily, and Jiang Shuihan couldn't tell him about Xin Yueming.Jiang Ling got up early in the morning and saw Xin Yueming wearing a mask sitting with Jiang Shuihan having breakfast, frozen in the middle of the stairs.

"This, this, this." Jiang Ling pointed at Xin Yueming, stuttering, "He, he, he, no, no, that, that young master Wu Nian???"

"It's me." Xin Yueming nodded to him politely, as a greeting, and continued to eat breakfast indifferently.

"You, me, him." Jiang Ling stumbled for a long time and finally regained his consciousness, and finally realized the point of the problem, "Why do you have such a good relationship with Wuweizong?"

There was nothing wrong with this sentence, but it made Jiang Shuihan and Jiang Qianqian couldn't help frowning because of its straightforwardness. Jiang Qianqian just wanted to get up and pat the table, but Jiang Shuihan secretly stopped him.She snorted, sat back in her seat and slowly drank the hot porridge in front of her.

The young man slept well last night, so he got up late in the morning. Seeing Jiang Ling standing on the stairs blocking the way, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, please let me go."

"Oh." Jiang Ling stepped aside in a daze, "Please."

The boy yawned and walked to the table, glanced at the table, and said with a long tail, "No way. I don't have my share?"

"That guy didn't leave you money for the meal last night?" Mu Xi put down the bowl and chopsticks, slowly wiped the corners of his lips, raised the corners of his eyes, and said with a chuckle, "It shouldn't be. It's a shame to make my master hungry like this." What this subordinate did was really bad, hurry up and change to someone who is considerate."

The young man's expression tightened, his clenched fists were behind his back, but he pretended to be fine and said, "Really? Why didn't I know?"

Both Xin Yueming and Mu Xi didn't care about the boy's reaction.Jiang Qianqian only felt that this person was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange, but just felt that he was not a good person based on intuition.However, since Xin Yueming did not reject this person from following him, it meant that this person was still useful to him.

"By the way, what's the name?"

The boy was startled, Mu Xi and Xin Yueming looked at each other.Only Jiang Qianqian could ask such a question.Neither Mu Xi nor Xin Yueming had asked the boy's name before, if the other party didn't want to say it, they could just make up a random name and get away with it.In this way, it is useless to ask, and the two never asked.

"My name is Meng Shidu." The boy quickly put away his sleepy expression and said with a smile, "My family members call me Xiaojiu."

Meng Shidu was no stranger to this name.Or should I say his surname, Mengci, Marquis of Wu'an, who is well-known in Yanjing, and Mu Xi had heard of it when he was in Yanjing.The real rise of the Meng family was after the Qin family, which controlled the government, was completely overthrown by Qi Wang Su Jinchen and the current sage Su Jinchao. Among them, Meng Ci, who contributed a lot, was named Marquis of Wu'an, and he was in the limelight for a while.It's just that she had already gone to Wuweizong at that time, and the people in Yanjing almost forgot about her existence.He didn't know himself, but it was still reasonable.

"Meng Shidu?" Xin Yueming put down the teacup in his hand and asked in confusion, "Are you Meng Shidu, the son of Marquis Wu'an?"

There was a gloomy look in the young man's eyes, and he said as if mocking himself, "So what? You just have a name, but no one admits it."

The Meng family is prosperous, but there is only Meng Shidu in the direct line, especially the evaluation around him is ignorant, so naturally no one is willing to admit him.

"The five great aristocratic families are actually getting mixed up with the people of the imperial court." I don't know if Xin Yueming deliberately let Meng Shidu hear it, and said in a casual way, "After so many years, do you finally want to make a move on this big piece of fat?"

Jiang Shuihan and Jiang Qianqian looked bewildered. They seldom paid attention to this matter, so they naturally didn't know the connection.But Mu Xi and Xin Yueming knew very well that after the turmoil of the Qin family, coupled with the frequent disasters in recent years, the treasury was empty, but the south of the Yangtze River was still rich.Especially martial arts people, those with a little status and fame will have a lot of wealth in their hands.

If what Meng Shidu said was true, then he was the one sent by the court to contact the five great families, not 24 bridges.The imperial court and the martial arts looked down on each other, and the middleman used for this contact must not be a big man, but he could not be an incompetent person either.Xin Yueming was not sure what Meng Shidu was thinking for a while, and since Xiao Yuqing hadn't heard from him for a long time, his heart sank.

"I don't know." Meng Shidu's face was as calm as water, and even the expression in his eyes did not change at all.

His reaction was unexpected by Xin Yueming, but in this way, it was originally just a matter between sects, mixed with the power of the court, the water became more muddy.Mu Xi glanced at Xin Yueming, but since Meng Shidu was present, he couldn't say anything.

"Senior brother Xiao Jiang." Jiang Ling leaned closer to Jiang Shuihan and whispered, "Could it be that we really want to go with them?"

"Why not?" Jiang Qianqian had sharp ears, glanced at Jiang Ling dissatisfied, and asked with a stern face, "Do you have any objections?"

Jiang Ling laughed stiffly, "Hey, of course not." How dare he have it.

"We'll start our journey later, do you want to take a break?" Jiang Shuihan ignored Jiang Ling's dull expression, and said politely and cautiously, "We are still a few days away from Yanjing, and there are not many stops on the way, so it will be very tiring. "

"Let's take a break."

I just want to be lazy.Jiang Qianqian snickered and glanced at Xin Yueming, his eyes were full of I understand you, which made Xin Yueming chuckle helplessly.Xin Yueming's promise to rest was not all because he was tired, although he was indeed tired.

Speaking of which, no one at the table was really relaxed and calm.

Meng Shidu's acknowledgment of his identity made Mu Xi feel a little sad. When this man appeared, she didn't notice the strangeness of the court.Yanjing, it turned out that as long as she wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb, she would really know nothing about the news over there.Longtan and Tiger's Lair, all kinds of terrible whirlpools, she left her grandfather alone in that place to face it alone.

But what worries her the most is that the court actually asked Meng Shidu to come to discuss with the five great families.In the past, affairs related to martial arts were handled by 24 bridges, and even the royal relatives could not get involved.Does the appearance of Meng Shidu mean that 24 Bridges will soon be deposed.

What Meng Shidu said before, does it mean that the imperial court wants to take action against Sanzong, or in other words, wants to do something against everything.

His Royal Highness Qi Wang, have you finally started to act?

Xin Yueming was worried about the same thing as Mu Xi, but he started from the direction of Jianghu.Does the imperial court's intervention this time mean that they also exist in matters related to everything.Did Xiao Yuqing know about this?If so, why didn't you tell him?

No, it was impossible for Xiao Yuqing not to tell him.Xin Yueming resolutely ruled out this idea. If Xiao Yuqing knew, it would be impossible to cooperate with him to find out the existence of everything.This is clearly against the imperial court. Xiao Yuqing, who knows how to protect herself wisely, will not make fun of the entire Xiao family.

If this young man is really Meng Shidu, it is possible that the court's cooperation partner is not the entire five great families, but only one of the five great families, so Xiao Yuqing was excluded without knowing it.But if the young man lied, it meant that one of the five great aristocratic families thought about it and wanted to investigate the situation after discovering his dealings with Xiao Yuqing.

But Meng Shidu has a noble status, even if he lies for any reason, he shouldn't pretend to be his name.

Regardless, all information points in one direction.The person behind it hopes to lead him back to Wuweizong.That being the case, he chose not to return to Wuweizong.

After the rest of the group finished, Jiang Ling reorganized his staff and started on the road again.Xin Yueming was also worried about Jiang Shuihan's internal injuries, so he specifically asked Mu Xi to take the opportunity to treat him and it would be best not to let him find out.Mu Xi was not curious about Xin Yueming's strange request, but just nodded in agreement.

On the way, Mu Xi didn't have many chances to get close to Jiang Shuihan, so naturally he couldn't diagnose Jiang Shuihan's condition, but it was too late to worry about Jiang Shuihan's internal injuries.Xin Yueming and Mu Xi discovered that Wuweizong's subordinates who were supposed to support them along the way basically lost their news after entering the border of Youzhou.

The area around Youzhou is regarded as the site of the 24th Bridge. Wuweizong did not blatantly insert nails, and basically disappeared in the streets and alleys.Although there is no complete control over the southwest area here, it is not that there is no control at all.Sensing the problem, Xin Yueming frowned tightly, and even the person who delivered the message hadn't heard from him for two days.

Jiang Shuihan had already noticed the worry in Xin Yueming's eyebrows, and while everyone was not paying attention at night, he quietly asked, "Why, is there something wrong with Wuweizong?"

Xin Yueming frowned, there was nothing he couldn't tell Jiang Shuihan, after all he and Jiang Qianqian already knew about Meng Shidu.

After Jiang Shuihan learned of the abnormality, he said, "Why don't we ask Jiang Ling to help us investigate Wuweizong's situation?"

"Jiangling is a member of the five great families. I'm worried that if he does something, it will attract attention." Xin Yueming shook his head and said, "And the purpose of the other party is to lure me back to the Wuwei Sect. Even if we investigate, it will probably be news that the Wuwei Sect is in trouble."

"That." Jiang Shuihan couldn't think of a way, so he had to stay silent.

Knowing that Jiang Shuihan was worried about her, Xin Yueming felt warm in her heart, with a smile on her brow and eyes, dispelling the original haze.He patted Jiang Shuihan on the shoulder and said, "But I have a favor, I want to ask Jiang Ling for help."

"What are you busy with?"

"Contact the Xiao family, I have important news to disclose to Xiao Yuqing."

The author has something to say:

Hahaha, it suddenly occurred to me that it could be seamlessly connected with the dynasty setting in the previous article. Here, after Su Jinchen was named prince, Xin Yueming and the others must be at least a generation younger than Su Jinchen.

By the way, no one will watch it every day,,,, no one will watch it at first, but now there will be no one, everyone is so realistic~~~ But I will still update it, even if no one watches it, anyway, I am happy ~~~
