Beauty is sick

Jin Lingjiu was holding a small balm, and couldn't get back to his senses: "Give it to me?"

Pei Zhe counted out the corresponding taels of silver from the purse: "Otherwise?"

He handed a handful of broken silver to the shopkeeper, and asked, "Is there any balm that smells like plum blossoms?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment: "It seems that there are several kinds. Wait a moment, guest officer. I'll take them out for you to have a look at."

Pei Zhe turned around and saw Jin Lingjiu who was in a daze holding the ointment. He didn't know what was so strange about that little thing, it could stun Mr. Jiu who was used to rare treasures.

Or maybe it has nothing to do with the balm, and the reason for being so surprised is because of some special reasons.

"How much, I'll pay." Jin Lingjiu said, gesturing to get the money bag.

A smile flashed in Pei Zhe's eyes. There was a special reason, how stingy and poor he was, that shocked Jin Lingjiu to such an extent?

"You can rest, let me give you something?" Pei Zhe blocked his hand and said helplessly, "If you feel sorry, just treat it as if I returned the wound medicine you gave me and the meal you invited ?”

Jin Lingjiu frowned slightly: "Is it so clear?"

Pei Zhe was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "Who on earth is too clear?"

Jin Lingjiu refused to admit it, put away the balm, and emphasized: "You still owe me a hairpin."

Pei Zhe smiled: "Yes, yes, I still owe you a hairpin, remember it, and don't forget to ask me for it."

The shopkeeper took out all the plum blossom-flavored balms and powders, and Pei Zhe smelled them one by one: "It seems that there is no one you use."

Jin Lingjiu glanced at it: "Although it is common, it is not as common as you imagined. Do you think the things I use may be bad street goods?"

This is quite blunt, but it is indeed in line with the status of the ninth son of the first floor in the world.

The shopkeeper of the incense shop was not very happy and wanted to refute, but seeing Jin Lingjiu's attire and smelling the incense he used, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips. This is really not a bad street product.

Some balms smelled very strong, not as light as Jin Lingjiu's body. Pei Zhe was so smoked that he sneezed several times: "You didn't say it earlier!"

Jin Lingjiu stayed a little further away, covering his mouth and nose with his hands all the time: "You didn't ask."

"Ah-choo—" Pei Zhe rubbed his nose and pushed him out, "Then let me ask now, where did you buy that balm?"

Jin Lingjiu answered very happily: "Near the first floor of the world, there are more ones sold in Nandi, and your house also has them."

Pei Zhe raised his eyebrows: "It seems that it's time for me to take some time to go home."

Jin Lingjiu stopped and looked at him fixedly: "Did you find it?"

"Huh? Did you find anything?" Pei Zhe was at a loss.

Jin Lingjiu pursed his lips, and jokingly said: "Before I left home, I told you that I would not go home if I couldn't find a better-looking wife than me."

Pei Zhe: "...do you still remember?"

Jin Lingjiu said "Yes", quite proudly: "I remember everything you said."

"Really?" Pei Zhe rolled his eyes, "I said something else, such as how I expressed my admiration for you."

Jin Lingjiu's expression changed: "...I don't remember."

Pei Zhe clicked his tongue: "I remember everything you said."

Jinling Nine: "..."

Yun Wuyang followed closely behind, looking at Pei Zhe in bewilderment and repeating a sentence.

Did he miss something, why suddenly he couldn't understand what charade the two were playing?

He began to fall into a doubtful situation, whether he shouldn't be here.

Jin Lingjiu ignored Pei Zhe, and walked forward on his own, his frowning revealed the unrest in his heart.

With his hands behind his back, Pei Zhe followed him slowly, and repeated it over and over again with a smile: "I remember everything you said."

Finally, Jin Lingjiu couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily, "Pei Zhe, why are you so annoying?!"

Pei Zhe couldn't hold back, covered his stomach and laughed: "Yeah, why am I so annoying? No way, Xiao Jiuer, you are really the most interesting person I have ever met."

It was so much fun, it made him happy, and he felt better after being ruined by Jun Baibi and Jun Shuci.

Pei Zhe smiled for a long time before regaining his composure. He rubbed his face, his smile was a little stiff.

Jin Lingjiu had no expression on his face, and a low air pressure shrouded his whole body.

If he hadn't been so familiar before, Pei Zhe would have decided not to provoke Jin Lingjiu at this time, but now he couldn't control himself, and asked seriously: "To be honest, do you remember what I said at that time?"

Jin Lingjiu glanced at him: "Is this important?"

Pei Zhe nodded: "It's very important, if you don't remember, then I have something I really want to tell you."

Jin Lingjiu: "What do you say?"

"Master Pei!"

Liu Xun stood anxiously at the door of the nephrite hall, and when he saw Pei Zhe, he immediately ran over.

The conversation between Pei Zhe and Jin Lingjiu was interrupted, and he was a little unhappy, but seeing Liu Xun's anxiety, his heart moved slightly.

Liu Xun couldn't catch his breath, and hurriedly said: "Something happened, Mr. Pei! Gu Yiqu's grave has been dug!"

Pei Zhe was shocked: "What did you say?!"

Lin Jingkong and Jun Shuci had already rushed over with their people, and Liu Xun briefly explained the matter: "According to your lord's order, we spread the news early in the morning, and we sent twice as many people at the gate of the city. Those who wanted to leave the city were detained for interrogation, and the cemetery outside the city was also guarded early in the morning. Just now, there was a sudden report that something happened to the cemetery, the guard was knocked out, and Gu Yiqu's bones were It was dug out. Commander Lin and the others have already rushed over, let me stay and wait for you, my lord, to inform you of this matter and see what arrangements are made."

The news had just been spread in the morning, and it wasn't long before Gu Yiqu's grave was dug. No matter what the truth of the matter was, people's first reaction would be that the government did it.

In this way, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating and anger the murderer.

Pei Zhe quickly thought about the pros and cons, and arranged: "I'm going to the cemetery to find out the situation. Mr. Liu, you stay in the city, send more people, and focus on the city gates, government buildings and other places. I will leave Yun Wuyang behind." Protect you, if someone makes trouble, take it down!"

Yun Wuyang looked at him worriedly, and before he could speak, Pei Zhe said first: "The situation is urgent, you just need to protect yourself and Master Liu, and the Ninth Young Master will protect me."

Jinling Jiu: "?"

When did he promise to go with him?

Yun Wuyang didn't know how Jinling Jiu's martial arts were, and he was afraid that something would happen to the two of them together: "Master Jiu, can you do it?"

Pei Zhe nodded: "He can, he can."

Jinling Nine: "..."

Jin Lingjiu was chased away by ducks, and was dragged away by Pei Zhe without saying a word, and did not stop until he left the nephrite hall for a certain distance.

Pei Zhe let go of his hand, and said politely: "Just now, I just wanted to let Yun Wuyang stay, so I won't bother Young Master Jiu during this trip. I'm afraid something will happen soon, so you should go back to the inn first."

Running around with Jin Lingjiu without a name, it doesn't seem like that.

Jin Lingjiu knew that he had to avoid suspicion, so he didn't refuse. Before leaving, he joked, "Without my protection, Mr. Pei wouldn't be hurt, right?"

Pei Zhe seemed to smile a little, very lightly: "Didn't the Ninth Young Master already guess my ability?"

That is indeed the case. When he was assassinated in Huaizhou City, Pei Zhe revealed something.

Jin Lingjiu nodded: "Then wait for the good news from Mr. Pei. Whether I can leave Huaizhou City as soon as possible is up to you."

Pei Zhe responded, watched Jin Lingjiu take two steps, and suddenly shouted: "I forgot one thing, I was serious at the time."

A sentence without beginning or end, he said very seriously.

Jin Ling Jiu Shensi walked back to the inn, his mind was full of Pei Zhe's last words.

—I was serious then.

Something flashed through his mind, he froze and raised his head abruptly.

——If you don’t remember, there is something I really want to tell you.

—I was serious then.

Jin Lingjiu's heart was shocked, and there was a constant buzzing in his ears, as if a large snowflake was falling and piling up in front of his eyes, forming a pure white world, which made him no longer able to think about other things, and his eyes were full of what Pei Zhe had said if.

At that time, they were not familiar with each other, and they could not understand each other. They wished that every sentence would be thorny, showing their sharpness, and they did not know how to restrain themselves.

In order to test the other party, he also said a lot of profligate words.

——I traveled all over the capital, seeing all the stunning scenery inside and outside the palace walls, but I couldn't find anyone who met my requirements.

——Until I came to Huaizhou City, I met the Ninth Young Master.

——The first time I saw you, I wanted to take you home as my daughter-in-law.

At that time, he felt that Pei Zhe was far from the rumors, and that he was a frivolous person, so he said such words. Today, Pei Zhe mentioned it again, and replied affirmatively, saying that he was serious at the time.

Jin Lingjiu closed his eyes, trying to break free from the weird atmosphere created by Pei Zhe.

He can be sure that Pei Zhe did it on purpose, after knowing that he remembered all the words, he said this sentence on purpose.

It's not clear if it's true or not, but Pei Zhe's goal of making him uneasy has been achieved, Jin Lingjiu secretly sighed, making sure that he couldn't ignore the strange emotions in his heart.

He cared a lot about that sentence for no reason.

The room was empty, and Jin Lingjiu's changed clothes were placed on a shelf beside him.

Pei Zhe said he wanted to wash it for him, so he didn't hand it over to Zuo Ping, but these days he has been busy with the case, Tan Hualang left early and returned late, and the clothes were put on hold before he had time.

The red cinnabar on the clothes was dazzling, like a fire that could never be extinguished, burning from the bottom of his eyes to his heart, burning all kinds of emotions to ashes.

Jin Lingjiu calmed down slowly, all the excitement turned into icy snow slag, covering his hands and feet, icy cold to the bone.

When he closed his eyes, he saw the red that could not be washed off, the dazzling color dyed through the snow, and traces of sin flowed out.

Jin Lingjiu's hands and feet froze, almost out of breath, and he had the illusion that he was going to die more than ten years ago.

"Duk-duk-duk-"

The well-timed knock on the door pulled him back from his thoughts, Jin Lingjiu took a sharp breath, and his blushing face slowly returned to its normal color.

Out of sight, out of mind, he rolled up the obtrusive clothes and stuffed them into the corner, then faced the door and said, "Come in."

"Brother, guess what I brought back for you?"

Mu Jiao has been running around all night, her face is slightly tired, but her eyes are bright.

Jin Lingjiu looked behind her, raised his eyebrows, and asked with great interest, "What's going on?"

Mu Jiao smiled generously, picked up the tightly bound person behind her, and threw him into the room: "Brother, I caught a ghost for you!"
