Chidori was wearing bright and gorgeous costumes with Japanese characteristics. When she entered the wing room, the bright red and gold twelve singles with a strong sense of impact and expansion were dragged behind her. The wealth and elegance almost made everyone look Take a breath.
The maidservants behind him immediately stepped forward, quickly spread a layer of tatami mats on the open space dedicated to the performance, and retreated as quickly as when they came.
"Meet you lords."
Chidori knelt down dignifiedly on the tatami, put the fan inlaid with gold and silver leaf gently beside her, and bowed to everyone.
Her movements are not slow or slow, and there is a special and pleasing sense of rhythm between raising her hands and feet, frowning and smiling.
Her voice is as sweet as new honey squeezed out, and like the first piece of fruit bitten off from an apple. It is sweet, but not greasy, with a delicate and pure inexplicably. dependence.
"We are not adults." Chu Liuxiang chatted with Chidori with great interest.
Come to Chunlou, which girl in the building is not dressed in thin and attractive clothes?Even if they wear more, they will definitely show some fragrant shoulders, thin feet and so on.
But Chidori was fine, she was wrapped in this gorgeous dress like a bride from a wealthy family, with three layers inside and three layers outside, not even her neck was exposed.All she could see was her hands that looked as good as Yu Ya'er, and her face that looked extraordinarily beautiful against the backdrop of the twelve singles and the Japanese red makeup.
Gong Jiu looked on coldly, feeling that this Chidori was not at all like a woman that Li Guanghan would like.
But it's not sure, maybe this is just her disguise.
Chidori didn't seem to sense the scrutiny from the people in the room, and she lowered her head in a kind and apologetic way: "It's Chidori's slip of the tongue, and I greet all the knights."
With this graceful drooping of the head, Chidori revealed a small section of the back of the jade white neck.If the people sitting in front of her were not Chu Liuxiang and others, but some lecherous people, I'm afraid they would have been parched and restless by this trick long ago.
Ji Bingyan stared at Chidori with a golden light in his eyes.Hu Tiehua dared to bet that a beauty like Chidori, in the eyes of Ji Bingyan, a dead rooster, was probably just a pile of walking silver.
The higher the status - that is the gold that walks.
Qiandiao walked a few steps on his knees, turned his body to Mo Qi and knelt down gracefully: "I don't know if the boss called Qiandiao, what is the order? He wants Qiandiao to serve you heroes—"
Chidori glanced around the men in the room with some embarrassment.
There are seven of them.
Hu Tiehua's hands trembled, and the wine in the wine glass almost spilled out: "No——no, no!"
What is this little girl thinking!Hu Tiehua understood the meaning of Chidori's eyes almost immediately, and quickly wanted to clear his mind, so as not to be misled by Chidori.But the more he deliberately didn't think about it, the more his imaginative brain spontaneously and in detail imagined... that scene.
As if struck by lightning, Hu Tiehua stiffly held his wine glass and made a mess in the wind.
Chidori glanced at Hu Tiehua in confusion, then said respectfully to Mo Qi: "Please tell the boss clearly."
Chu Liuxiang put the portrait of "Shengxianke" drawn by the artist and found so far on the tatami in front of Chidori: "Miss, have you ever seen these people?"
Qiandiao looked at Mo Qi asking for instructions, and after Mo Qi nodded, he lowered his head obediently and looked at these portraits carefully: "I don't know... I don't know this one..." She looked at several pictures in a row, They all shook their heads and said they hadn't seen it.
Just when Chu Liuxiang thought it was going to be in vain, Chidori suddenly stopped: "I've seen the person in this portrait...Huh? And this one, this one..."
Chidori picked three portraits in a row and released them separately: "I've seen the people in these three paintings. They are Chidori's former benefactors."
Even when Chidori said this, his tone was obedient.It was as if he was talking about how many books he had read and how many words he had learned today, not that these people were his benefactors.
Chu Liuxiang twisted up the portrait and took a closer look: "Mmm..."
Chidori's voice was soft and sweet, with some confusion: "What's wrong?"
Chu Liuxiang put down the painting in his hand: "These portraits are all the dead people who were born in Manli City in the current Dengxian case. And the people the girl picked just now are all the merchants among these dead people."
What are the odds of that being exactly the same?
There are only so many dead people in total, among them there are only three merchants, but these three are Chidori's benefactors.
Chidori raised her face, which was smaller than a slap, and looked at Chu Liuxiang aggrievedly: "This hero, do you suspect that Chidori is related to these murders?"
Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly and touched her nose: "I'm afraid it's hard not to doubt."
Moreover, Chidori's name sounds very similar to "Blue Bird", and she is from Dongying, which may be related to "Pengshan". With so many coincidences added together, it cannot be called a coincidence.
Mo Qi's gaze that fell on Chidori's body suddenly paused.
He frowned slightly, his eyes fell behind Chidori, near a certain position near his waist, and then took a deep look at Chidori's face, and slightly turned his face in the direction of Gong Jiu.
A voice as low as a mosquito sounded in Gong Jiu's ear.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and the hand that was fiddling with the teacup boredly moved to the folding fan.
"Brush!"
Gong Jiu waved the folding fan without warning, and several bone-piercing needles rushed towards Chidori.
Chu Liuxiang and the others were still talking to Qiandiao, no one expected that Gong Jiu, who had been so silent and almost merged with the air, would suddenly get into trouble without saying a word, turning his face when he said he would.They just had time to instinctively look at Gong Jiu in astonishment, and the several bone-penetrating needles had already arrived in front of Chidori.
Just when they thought Chidori would surely die.
"Boom—chih!"
A strange sound.
Chidori, who was sitting dignifiedly and quietly on the tatami, was suddenly enveloped in a burst of thick smoke coming out of nowhere.
"Cough, cough, cough! What's going on?!" The old housekeeper was frightened and coughed from choking.
"Daoist! Daoist guard the window!" Chu Liuxiang had already jumped to the door.
Mo Qi reached out his hand to touch his waist, took out a small glass bottle the size of a fingernail, pulled out the stopper, and used his internal force to force the liquid in the bottle to come out as mist.
The misty smoke was immediately absorbed by the liquid that turned into mist, and scattered until only a few thin wisps were left lingering on the ground.
"Where is she?!" Chu Liuxiang took a few steps to the tatami and quickly glanced at the room.
Mo Qi: "On top of the head."
Hu Tiehua: "What—"
"Chong!"
Three hidden weapons shot out from the roof of the wing house, and stabbed straight at the old butler who was stunned and at a loss.Ji Bingyan was inconvenient to move, Gong Jiu watched from the wall, and Mo Qiben was standing by the window, the furthest away from the old butler, so he had to turn around and go back to the old butler, pushed Ji Bingyan's wheelchair with his right hand, and shook his long sleeve with his left hand, urging him Using internal strength, the three hidden weapons coming from the sky were drawn into the strong wind brought by the sleeves of the robe, and they were thrown away with the help of strength.
In the other room, as soon as the wheelchair stopped by the window sill, Ji Bingyan immediately turned the wheelchair around and happened to block the window with her body.
Chu Liuxiang rushed over, but was blocked by the smoke that exploded from a hidden weapon flying towards him: "Little Hu!"
In the thick smoke, Hu Tiehua only felt a chill on his head, and then a heavy object hit his head hard, grabbing his head several times like an octopus.There was also a "thump" under his feet, and several solid obstacles were inexplicably added out of thin air, which tripped him as he took a step back to prepare for a counterattack, and suddenly lost his balance unexpectedly and fell to the ground.
Then a cold fingertip blade immediately stuck to his neck: "Don't move! Braid!"
Mo Qi pushed aside the glass bottle to disperse the mist again.
A cute, white and tender boy wearing only a pair of underwear is riding fiercely on Hu Tiehua's neck, trapping Hu Tiehua in an extremely twisted posture: "Move again, cut off!" up your neck!"
Chu Liuxiang and the old housekeeper looked at the boy's flat chest with dumbfounded.
The boy was still holding Miss Chidiao's face, but the exposed flat chest clearly showed that the famous Oiran lady in Zuichunlou was actually a genuine boy.
"He... this... I..." the old butler has been a diligent, self-denying and honest man all his life. He had already embarrassed an old man of his age when he entered Zuichun Tower and met Qiandiao. She never thought that this oiran girl, she, she, she, she—she is actually a man? !
The old butler was dumbfounded.
Hu Tiehua was thrown on the ground, unable to move, and couldn't see who was pressing him, so he could only yell in a muffled voice: "What's going on?! Who!! Who is pressing me!"
Chu Liuxiang grasped the black hidden weapon stuck on the wall in front of her, pulled it out halfway, then her pupils shrank, she let go of it suddenly, and jumped back quickly.
"boom!"
The hidden weapon containing the gunpowder exploded immediately.
Fortunately, Chu Liuxiang discovered it in time, pulled the distance away, and slapped a few more palms, so that the shattered hidden weapon didn't blow up on him.
The heroes who had been entertained by Li Guanghan's gunpowder cartridge not long ago looked at the charred wall several times with lingering fear.
The amount of gunpowder buried in this hidden weapon is not much, and what hurts people is not the fire, but the fragments of the hidden weapon that were blown up and ejected.Thanks to this, otherwise the Zuichun Building that the Taoist priest just bought would be blown up and rebuilt.
Chu Liuxiang withdrew her hand and looked at the boy who was still restraining Hu Tiehua with a complicated expression.
The boy proudly raised his eyebrows at Chu Liuxiang, then bent down, and almost broke Hu Tiehua's neck by riding on the ass of Hu Tiehua's neck: "I am a hero."
He squeezed his throat, and let out a sweet voice that belonged to Chidori girl.
Hu Tiehua was stunned: "What the hell... Chidori... no, Chidori?!" His tone suddenly rose, his voice almost broke, "Isn't Chidiao a girl! Why is she still wearing handles! ?”
Although the boy is not very old, he must have what he should have.Sitting on Hu Tiehua's neck, Hu Tiehua couldn't feel the back of his head... what?
Chu Liuxiang leaned back slightly: "...I want to know too."
Chidori said before that he was benevolent and not benevolent, but now it seems that it is probably all lies.As for Chidori's situation, how could he have any benefactors? He doesn't know who is older than whom after taking off his pants!
There is also the conjecture that Qiandiao is the girl Li Guanghan loves before, so I have to put a question mark first.After Chidori took off his fancy clothes, the Adam's apple on Xinchang's neck was still very obvious. No wonder he had to wear such complicated twelve sheets when he was disguised, deliberately covering his neck.If he was really the girl that Li Guanghan met every night, Li Guanghan would have doubts when he saw the little girl wrapped around her neck every day.
"The moves and weapons look a bit like Japanese ninjas." Chu Liuxiang looked at Chidori who was holding Hu Tiehua and stood up.
Chidori didn't look very old, he looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and was much shorter than Hu Tiehua. He pressed his shuriken against Hu Tiehua's neck and had to raise his hands to support his feet.He realized this problem when he pulled Hu Tiehua up, and simply pulled Hu Tiehua's braid, making Hu Tiehua bend over to match his height.
Hu Tiehua's expression suddenly became bitter.
Under normal circumstances, he would be able to kill the short winter melon intimidator by standing up at this time. However, Chidori opened and closed his fingers extremely nimbly a few times before standing up, and then swayed in front of him. They have all been tightly entangled by a sharp and thin thread.
When he got up, he didn't cooperate very much. When Chidori closed his fingers, the thin thread was tied a little tighter, cutting off a layer of his clothes, and Hu Tiehua didn't dare to move immediately.
"Are you a ninja from Japan?" Gong Jiu asked Chidori with interest, not caring about Hu Tiehua's life or death.
Chu Liuxiang backhanded, and quietly lit a stick of incense.
·
·
Chidori, who had washed off her make-up and put on clean men's clothes, was petite and delicate, like a young man born with a golden spoon in his mouth.Japan is different from Song soil, Chidori did not grow hair, the hair is only left to the cheeks, cut neatly, and the broken hair hangs down the cheeks.It made his small face even smaller.
After bewildering Chidori, everyone did not tie him up, but helped Hu Tiehua remove the silver thread from his body, and Chu Liuxiang awakened Chidori.
With preparedness in place, it would be very difficult for Chidori to make a surprise attack.The people present were all very skilled, and they felt that since they would never miss again, why bother to tie up Chidori?
After waking up, Chidori didn't say anything like using Miyan to be mean, after all, he himself often uses this thing.
Chidori scratched his face, sat arrogantly on the tatami mat, sloppy legs, raised his chin with a bit of disdain and a little pride: "I'm not a ninja, I just learned Just some ninjutsu."
But he was born with jade and jade, and his facial features are a little bit natural, even if he sits in a mess and is domineering, he can't make people feel the slightest disgust.
"I just learned it, I'm afraid I'm being modest." Chu Liuxiang shook his head and smiled.
Chidori's ninjutsu is indeed the best among the Japanese ninjas that Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua have encountered.
There are geniuses in the sky in Central Plains, and naturally there are also in Dongpu.
Hu Tiehua and Chu Liuxiang had encountered ninjas from Japan before Chidori, but none of them had such an exquisite grasp of ninjutsu like Chidori.With just a few attacks, he was able to calculate and disrupt Hu Tiehua's rhythm just right, and perfectly avoided Chu Liuxiang's assistance, widening the distance between himself and other people in the wing room, and restraining Hu Tiehua in an instant.
"How did you know that I would raise my head, step back, and fight back at that time?" Hu Tiehua asked with half admiration and half doubt.
Chidori grasped these three nodes with such precision that it was as if... he knew in advance which reaction he would make at which moment.
Chidori sat up straight, folded his legs a little, tapped his toes, and said frankly: "I don't know, that's what I'm like! Then you bumped into my palm."
When Chidori was gesturing, the few strands of hair on the top of his head swayed stupidly with him.
As Chidori spoke, the reserve on his face couldn't hold back.He swayed his feet together with a little pride, and boasted cheekily: "Don't be dissatisfied, I am born with such good luck! I have never met anyone who can beat me people."
"..." Mo Qi glanced at the emaciated Hu Tiehua speechlessly, and brought the topic back to the main topic: "Your Excellency came to Manli, and you are not an enemy of us, so why do you dare to ask?"
Chidori turned his face sideways, with a bit of innocence: "Come and play."
Mo Qi: "... play?"
Chidori sensed the suspicion contained in the gazes of the crowd, his small face immediately hung, and he sat up straight and said angrily, "Why, no? Not only the Song Dynasty, but when I travel all over the Song Dynasty, I will also go to Xixia, Daliao , Burma, Tubo...there are farther and farther, even to places I have never heard of!"
Chidori snorted, raised his delicate chin and asked, "That's right! I haven't asked yet, why did you discover my disguise?"
Gong Jiu looked at Chidori's appearance, just like looking at the unruly canary raised in his own cage, his eyes made people panic, but his tone was not obvious: "Don't look at me, it's Mo The Taoist priest saw it."
Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows in surprise, and cast a questioning look at Mo Qi.
Gong Jiu: "Just now, Daoist Mo said to me through voice transmission, saying 'a thousand birds are different', that's why I made the move."
Chidori's curious little head turned to Mo Qi again.
Mo Qi: "...your shuriken fell out."
Although it was covered by Twelve Dans, from his angle, he could just see a small bulge protruding from Twelve Dans' back hem with the shuriken.
Chidori choked for a moment, his pink mouth involuntarily pouted slowly, grabbed the shuriken that had started to slip down from his waist, and swung it fiercely: "Damn it!"
Chidori threw the innocent shuriken against the wall with a "whoosh" and pierced half of his body.
Hu Tiehua looked at the wall that was riddled with fragments of hidden weapons and was riddled with holes: "Uh... It seems that the Taoist priest bought this restaurant?"
"That's right." Ji Bingyan cast her eyes coldly, and said to Chidori, "I'm sorry. It will be deducted from your money for this month."
Chidori's eyes widened, and he quickly retracted the other shuriken that he was about to throw again into his sleeve.
Chu Liuxiang stood in the back row and didn't speak any more. She seemed to be quiet, but she was in secret with Mo Qi through sound transmission: "Master Daoist, what do you think?"
Mo Qi looked at Chidori who was full of anger, his short height couldn't even reach his chest: "...you have to believe it, and you can't believe it completely."
Mo Qi: "I came to Song Dynasty from Dongying alone, just for 'playing', why did I choose to stop in Manli at such a coincident time? And why did I have to pretend to be the lady of Chunlou Huakui?"
In order not to let Qiandiao find out, Chu Liuxiang did not nod, but agreed: "That's right. Since he can accurately pick out the three deceased businessmen, it must be related to the Penglai case more or less.... "
Chu Liuxiang looked at Chidori, who had already started pounding the tatami with a fan to vent his anger. He looked like a self-willed young man who became angry after accidentally showing his feet and being exposed, but it seemed that he really had no bad intentions.
Mo Qi pondered for a while, and then asked Chu Liuxiang: "Apart from the local dead in Manli City, did you ever carry the portraits of those foreigners who came to Manli?"
Apart from being dumbfounded, the old butler who seemed to be unable to find anything he could do hurriedly said, "I brought it."
He took out a stack of portraits from his sleeve, handed them to Mo Qi, and quietly glanced at Prince Taiping at the side.
Prince Taiping's eyes were fixed on Mo Qi as expected.
Mo Qi didn't know that from today onwards, there would be another person in the team who was sure about Gong Jiu and him.He put the portrait in front of Chidori: "Have you ever seen these people?"
Qiandiao glanced at Mo Qi, and opened the portrait to look at it.This time, he actually picked out more than half of the people: "These, these...well, and this, this..." Chidori picked it up by himself, feeling something was wrong, "These people, are they all Is it the 'Shengxianke' taken away by the 'Pengshan Immortal'?"
Chidori stared at the portrait, with a sudden bewildered expression on his face.
Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows: "Oh? You also know 'Sheng Xianke'?"
Chidori did not hide it, and said calmly: "Naturally, in the Spring Tower, even the most terrible news may be obtained."
"Since that's the case." Chu Liuxiang said, "May I ask why your Excellency is pretending to be an oiran lady, and what is the purpose of staying in this spring building?"
Chidori threw the separated portrait on the tatami in front of him: "Of course it's because - I have no money!"
Qiandiao said confidently: "I came to Da Song from my hometown, and I didn't come through the checkpoints. I can also be regarded as a stowaway, and I didn't bring any property with me. If I want to make a living, shouldn't I hurry up and earn money?"
"Isn't it the best and fastest way to make money by pretending to be an oiran lady?" Chidori proudly taught her experience of earning money while spending money along the way, "Whenever I go to a place, I just need to find the most prosperous money in that place." Changing the most moving appearance of the Chunlou, the old bustard will naturally invite me in. For those benefactors who send money to the door, I just need to charm them with rosemary and send them a sweet dream. Two days... the money will come naturally."
Chidori recounted the innumerable benefits of this method: "Pretending to be an oiran lady, you can still be served by fragrant and soft maids, and have the best house to live in. Naturally, someone will bring me food when I am hungry, and there will be good-looking maids when I am thirsty." The little sister poured water for me, and if she wanted any information, she listened to it from the lobby, and if she still wanted to ask more questions, I could still point people to my room for interrogation without attracting anyone's attention..."
"..." Chu Liuxiang couldn't find anything to answer Chidori's words for a while, so she had to return to the original topic, "Then these people, do you know their identities?"
It is most difficult to check the identity of the deceased from other places.If Chidori could reveal some fragments, it would be of great help to them in verifying the identity of the deceased.
Chidori raised his eyebrows: "'Yes'? No, it's not 'yes', they all know. Not only do I know, but I still remember the order in which they came to Zuichunlou."
He reached out and took back the portraits of the people he had seen, and lined up one by one: "In the beginning, it was this person."
Mo Qi and the others were all taken aback.
The portrait that Chidori took out first was the prince mentioned by the four men locked in the dungeon of the Li family.
Unexpectedly, this portrait was recognized by Chidori before Lin Qi sent any news.
Chidori said: "This person can be regarded as the first 'business' I received in Zuichunlou. He is crazy, and he keeps talking nonsense about 'cultivating the Dao and becoming a real fairy'. I was quite impressed with him.”
Mo Qi: "Do you know who this person is?"
Chidori nodded: "I know! That's why I felt so strange when you said that these people are dead!" Chidori pointed to the portrait of Prince Wang, "If what he said is not crazy, then he is the same size as Jinling The son of the Wang family in Wang Zhifu, why did his death not stir up any storms, and it sank after a wave?"
"The Prefect of King Jinling..." Chu Liuxiang repeated it several times in his mouth, and it always felt very familiar.
Gong Jiu's eyes were finally willing to turn away from Mo Qi for a moment: "Yumen Pass, Zhao Xianzhi's letter also mentioned this prefect of Jinling."
·
·
The information Chidori gave was indeed true.After sending pigeons to verify, everyone got a reply from Jinling's hidden pile, saying that the prince is indeed the young son of the prefect of Jinling, but it seems that the prefect doesn't know that his son is dead, and the whole family still should What to do.
Except for this prince, the other princes identified by Chidori were checked according to the information given by Chidori, and their identities were also verified.They are all the children of rich families who are usually muddle-headed, useless, and not very favored. After they disappeared, no one in the family even asked a question.
"How could this be?" Chu Liuxiang said, "Others are fine. But this young master Wang, according to this letter and Chidori's statement, is clearly very favored at home. He has been missing for nearly half a year." Don't tell me, the prefect Wang isn't worried about his children at all?"
Gong Jiu waved away the falling feathers in front of him: "Or, he simply knows what his son will do, and he even sent him to this place." His movements suddenly paused, and he stretched out his hand again A piece of feather caught it, "Isn't this the tail feather of Sparrow Ling?"
"Chirp—" A slender cyan shadow passed over the heads of the crowd, flapped its wings in panic, changed direction, and flew to another place.
Chidori, who was surrounded intentionally or unintentionally by everyone to prevent him from escaping, raised his head in confusion, stared suddenly, and jumped up and down excitedly: "Wow, what is that? Could it be the legendary blue bird— ——I saw the blue bird! I am really lucky, and I can still see the blue bird that symbolizes happiness when I come to Song Dynasty!"
Chidori waved his arms vigorously, and shouted while jumping: "Blue bird—don't fly away! Come and give me another look!"
Gong Jiu's ears were stung by Qiandiao's yelling, and he walked away in disgust, throwing away the tail feather of the sparrow in his hand.
Qiandiao went crazy and almost rushed out of the encirclement, but was stopped by Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua together: "Wow, what are you doing! That's the tail of the blue bird, if you don't want it, give it to me!"
Qiandiao looked at the dirty tail feathers at Gong Jiu's feet, grabbed the arm blocked by Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua, raised his head and looked eagerly at the sparrow feathers that were still flying around in the air: "Blue bird—blue bird—"
He was really excited, the real blue bird worshiped by him was miserable.
It was supposed to be just an ordinary day.Que Ling completed the task of delivering the letter, and continued to carry out her three-point and one-line life honestly in the general's mansion as usual: feed yourself—walk yourself—continue to feed yourself.But I don't know what kind of bad luck happened today. In the afternoon, Que Ling had just slept enough and was about to continue feeding herself. As soon as she returned to the cage and took a few mouthfuls of bird food, she was suddenly caught by a black shadow. He jumped up.
The black shadow fluttered and shouted: "Blue Bird!"
Que Ling fluttered her wings in fright, and flew away as if to flee, almost choking on the bird food in her mouth: "Chirp chirp chirp!"
It circled in the sky, staring at the man in black who was looking at him with a bird-hair-raising gaze, only to realize that this is the guy who suddenly went crazy and wanted to smash it to death with broken porcelain ?
Behind Li Guanghan was a large group of servants and maidservants chasing, some of them shouted: "General, where are you going!", and some were holding clothes: "General, put your clothes on first!"
Li Guanghan didn't listen at all, he just stared at Que Ling with a kind of obsessive eyes, wherever Que Ling flew, he would use his lightness kung fu to chase there.
The construction of General Li’s Mansion also has a history of a hundred years. There are century-old tall trees planted everywhere in the mansion. Because it is located in the south, every tree grows towering and lush, with dense aerial roots hanging from the branches.Li Guanghan stepped on these tall trees to catch Que Ling, and almost grabbed Que Ling's tail several times.
Que Ling ran panic-stricken in front, and Li Guanghan chased after him. A group of people behind him shouted for the general, and the entire general's mansion was filled with chaos and smog.
The old butler almost fainted: "What, what are you doing!" He immediately left everyone behind, and ran behind Li Guanghan himself, "General, don't run anymore! It's winter wind and cold, you are seriously injured and physically weak If you don't wear proper clothes, you will catch cold!"
After all, the old housekeeper was old, and after running for a few steps, he was out of breath, stopped, and anxiously shouted at the servants who were still trailing behind General Li: "Stop the general!"
Before Mo Qi could enter the mansion, he stood outside the gate of the general's mansion and raised his hand to give a whistle. Que Ling, who was still scurrying around in the air, seemed to have found its backbone, and let out a long cry in the air , turned the bird's head, and rushed in the direction of whistling.
The moment Mo Qi opened his hand, Que Ling had already plunged into his palm, Xiao Pang's body was trembling with fright, and he was quite frightened.
Li Guanghan rushed over and landed in front of Mo Qi: "Blue Bird!"
His condition is very wrong, his whole body seems to be hit by an evil spirit, his eyes are bloodshot, staring at the ball in Mo Qi's hands without blinking, and he is trying to peck his own tail with his beak. The tail also nestled into the sparrow feathers in the palm of the owner's hand.
The old housekeeper was supported by several servants, and caught up out of breath: "General, general, this is, huh! What's going on!"
The old housekeeper anxiously stretched out his hand, trying to pull Li Guanghan's arm and make him turn around so that someone could add clothes to him.Unexpectedly, Li Guanghan was stuck in place like an iron pillar, he couldn't move at all, he just stared at the sparrow's feathers, and murmured: "Blue bird... blue bird..."
Qiandiao was excitedly calling Blue Bird at first, wanting to get close to Mo Qi to have a look at the sparrow feathers, but every time he called out, Li Guanghan would give him a vicious look, so that in the end, he didn't dare to call out again. and hid behind Mo Qi.
The old housekeeper turned his despairing and hopeful eyes to Mo Qi, as if Mo Qi was his last straw: "Master Daoist, what's wrong with our general!"
Mo Qi was also extremely confused: "It stands to reason that this should not be the case... It should be that General Li was stimulated again, and the internal force collided with the hidden wound in the body, and the blood qi surged up, which also affected the congestion in the brain. , so that his current sanity is a little abnormal."
"It's much scarier than when I saw it in the morning..." Hu Tiehua looked at Li Guanghan's staring eyes, and felt hairy all over his body.
Li Guanghan murmured to Que Ling for a while, seeing that Que Ling no longer avoided him, the almost crazy aura around him eased down again.
"Blue Bird..." He poked his head out, wanting to rub against the bird's feathers.
Que Ling was frightened, her feathers exploded, she spread her wings and was about to fly away when Mo Qi pressed a finger against her little head: "Don't move."
Li Guanghan took the medicine he prescribed, and he shouldn't have such a reaction. Mo Qi was a little puzzled, and wanted to observe Li Guanghan's situation again.
The sparrow's feathers were tucked into Mo Qi's palm, and the feathers on the back were messed up by Li Guanghan's big head: "Chirp..."
Li Guanghan seemed to be more relaxed after rubbing against the sparrow feathers, with an appearance of "a bird is enough".Mo Qi took Li Guanghan's warm clothes from the old housekeeper and put them on Li Guanghan, but Li Guanghan didn't respond.
He pressed his head against the back of the bird with its feathers for a while, and said in a low and soft voice, "Don't go."
Li Guanghan's eyes no longer stared fiercely at people, Chidori finally had the courage to poke his head out from behind Mo Qi.He blinked and blinked, his eyes wandering around Li Guanghan's thin but tall body.
Li Guanghan lowered his head and stuck to the back of the bird, perhaps in his eyes, he was leaning on the back of the blue bird tenderly.But in the eyes of everyone, he is actually buried docilely in Mo Qi's palm.
Because of the madness of the owner, the straight and smooth hair broke free from the crown, and was loosely and messily scattered on Li Guanghan's back, with some silver strands mixed in.Chidori stood on tiptoe from behind Mo Qi and looked forward, just in time to see Li Guanghan's sagging nape, pale and thin. The feeling of desolation makes one can't help but want to touch it to comfort him.
"Did Li Guanghan regard Que Ling as that blue bird?" Hu Tiehua lowered his voice and asked Chu Liuxiang.
Chu Liuxiang: "It's possible."
"What's the situation now?" Hu Tiehua whispered wonderingly, "Could it be that he's 'dreaming back to the past' now, repeating the old incident between him and that blue bird?"
"Yes." Mo Qi looked down at the forehead resting against Que Ling, as if he was absorbing the slight warmth from Que Ling's small body, "His consciousness is a little confused, and he may intermittently repeat certain past memories. Judging from the current situation, it should all be related to the blue bird."
Hu Tiehua clapped his hands subconsciously: "Isn't that good? We just wanted to ask him what happened to him and the blue bird, and we were worried that he would not answer. Isn't it just right now! It's just a pity, his dream "Back to the past" probably didn't go in order, we have to go through the order after reading it."
Hu Tiehua babbled these words faster than his brain, looked at Li Guanghan's pitiful and fragile appearance, felt that he had said too much, and blamed himself.
He cleared his throat, and said awkwardly: "...That's what I said, but why do I feel that we are a bit of a jerk just looking at General Li like this?" Hu Tiehua scratched his face and suggested embarrassingly. , "Shouldn't we have a group of people watching around here, and take the general back to the house first?"
Hu Tiehua always felt that what they were doing now was a bit like they were watching rare and exotic animals, rather like they were taking advantage of Li Guanghan's danger to humiliate Li Guanghan.
Mo Qi thought the same way. After Hu Tiehua proposed, he tried to move his hands, trying to lure General Li back into the house.As a result, Li Guanghan immediately raised his head suddenly, and his eyes looked like he was about to go crazy. Mo Qi had to move his hand back to the distance: "I can't move now, I can only look at it like this."
Mo Qi looked down at Li Guanghan, and after moving his hand back, Li Guanghan buried his head back on his own, carefully leaning on Que Ling, as if relying on his last warmth.
Li Guanghan couldn't listen to what Ren Hu Tiehua and others said.Now in his world, only he and "Blue Bird" exist, and this memory is still going down.
Li Guanghan took a step back, his eyes were still fixed on Que Ling, but his hands
The maidservants behind him immediately stepped forward, quickly spread a layer of tatami mats on the open space dedicated to the performance, and retreated as quickly as when they came.
"Meet you lords."
Chidori knelt down dignifiedly on the tatami, put the fan inlaid with gold and silver leaf gently beside her, and bowed to everyone.
Her movements are not slow or slow, and there is a special and pleasing sense of rhythm between raising her hands and feet, frowning and smiling.
Her voice is as sweet as new honey squeezed out, and like the first piece of fruit bitten off from an apple. It is sweet, but not greasy, with a delicate and pure inexplicably. dependence.
"We are not adults." Chu Liuxiang chatted with Chidori with great interest.
Come to Chunlou, which girl in the building is not dressed in thin and attractive clothes?Even if they wear more, they will definitely show some fragrant shoulders, thin feet and so on.
But Chidori was fine, she was wrapped in this gorgeous dress like a bride from a wealthy family, with three layers inside and three layers outside, not even her neck was exposed.All she could see was her hands that looked as good as Yu Ya'er, and her face that looked extraordinarily beautiful against the backdrop of the twelve singles and the Japanese red makeup.
Gong Jiu looked on coldly, feeling that this Chidori was not at all like a woman that Li Guanghan would like.
But it's not sure, maybe this is just her disguise.
Chidori didn't seem to sense the scrutiny from the people in the room, and she lowered her head in a kind and apologetic way: "It's Chidori's slip of the tongue, and I greet all the knights."
With this graceful drooping of the head, Chidori revealed a small section of the back of the jade white neck.If the people sitting in front of her were not Chu Liuxiang and others, but some lecherous people, I'm afraid they would have been parched and restless by this trick long ago.
Ji Bingyan stared at Chidori with a golden light in his eyes.Hu Tiehua dared to bet that a beauty like Chidori, in the eyes of Ji Bingyan, a dead rooster, was probably just a pile of walking silver.
The higher the status - that is the gold that walks.
Qiandiao walked a few steps on his knees, turned his body to Mo Qi and knelt down gracefully: "I don't know if the boss called Qiandiao, what is the order? He wants Qiandiao to serve you heroes—"
Chidori glanced around the men in the room with some embarrassment.
There are seven of them.
Hu Tiehua's hands trembled, and the wine in the wine glass almost spilled out: "No——no, no!"
What is this little girl thinking!Hu Tiehua understood the meaning of Chidori's eyes almost immediately, and quickly wanted to clear his mind, so as not to be misled by Chidori.But the more he deliberately didn't think about it, the more his imaginative brain spontaneously and in detail imagined... that scene.
As if struck by lightning, Hu Tiehua stiffly held his wine glass and made a mess in the wind.
Chidori glanced at Hu Tiehua in confusion, then said respectfully to Mo Qi: "Please tell the boss clearly."
Chu Liuxiang put the portrait of "Shengxianke" drawn by the artist and found so far on the tatami in front of Chidori: "Miss, have you ever seen these people?"
Qiandiao looked at Mo Qi asking for instructions, and after Mo Qi nodded, he lowered his head obediently and looked at these portraits carefully: "I don't know... I don't know this one..." She looked at several pictures in a row, They all shook their heads and said they hadn't seen it.
Just when Chu Liuxiang thought it was going to be in vain, Chidori suddenly stopped: "I've seen the person in this portrait...Huh? And this one, this one..."
Chidori picked three portraits in a row and released them separately: "I've seen the people in these three paintings. They are Chidori's former benefactors."
Even when Chidori said this, his tone was obedient.It was as if he was talking about how many books he had read and how many words he had learned today, not that these people were his benefactors.
Chu Liuxiang twisted up the portrait and took a closer look: "Mmm..."
Chidori's voice was soft and sweet, with some confusion: "What's wrong?"
Chu Liuxiang put down the painting in his hand: "These portraits are all the dead people who were born in Manli City in the current Dengxian case. And the people the girl picked just now are all the merchants among these dead people."
What are the odds of that being exactly the same?
There are only so many dead people in total, among them there are only three merchants, but these three are Chidori's benefactors.
Chidori raised her face, which was smaller than a slap, and looked at Chu Liuxiang aggrievedly: "This hero, do you suspect that Chidori is related to these murders?"
Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly and touched her nose: "I'm afraid it's hard not to doubt."
Moreover, Chidori's name sounds very similar to "Blue Bird", and she is from Dongying, which may be related to "Pengshan". With so many coincidences added together, it cannot be called a coincidence.
Mo Qi's gaze that fell on Chidori's body suddenly paused.
He frowned slightly, his eyes fell behind Chidori, near a certain position near his waist, and then took a deep look at Chidori's face, and slightly turned his face in the direction of Gong Jiu.
A voice as low as a mosquito sounded in Gong Jiu's ear.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and the hand that was fiddling with the teacup boredly moved to the folding fan.
"Brush!"
Gong Jiu waved the folding fan without warning, and several bone-piercing needles rushed towards Chidori.
Chu Liuxiang and the others were still talking to Qiandiao, no one expected that Gong Jiu, who had been so silent and almost merged with the air, would suddenly get into trouble without saying a word, turning his face when he said he would.They just had time to instinctively look at Gong Jiu in astonishment, and the several bone-penetrating needles had already arrived in front of Chidori.
Just when they thought Chidori would surely die.
"Boom—chih!"
A strange sound.
Chidori, who was sitting dignifiedly and quietly on the tatami, was suddenly enveloped in a burst of thick smoke coming out of nowhere.
"Cough, cough, cough! What's going on?!" The old housekeeper was frightened and coughed from choking.
"Daoist! Daoist guard the window!" Chu Liuxiang had already jumped to the door.
Mo Qi reached out his hand to touch his waist, took out a small glass bottle the size of a fingernail, pulled out the stopper, and used his internal force to force the liquid in the bottle to come out as mist.
The misty smoke was immediately absorbed by the liquid that turned into mist, and scattered until only a few thin wisps were left lingering on the ground.
"Where is she?!" Chu Liuxiang took a few steps to the tatami and quickly glanced at the room.
Mo Qi: "On top of the head."
Hu Tiehua: "What—"
"Chong!"
Three hidden weapons shot out from the roof of the wing house, and stabbed straight at the old butler who was stunned and at a loss.Ji Bingyan was inconvenient to move, Gong Jiu watched from the wall, and Mo Qiben was standing by the window, the furthest away from the old butler, so he had to turn around and go back to the old butler, pushed Ji Bingyan's wheelchair with his right hand, and shook his long sleeve with his left hand, urging him Using internal strength, the three hidden weapons coming from the sky were drawn into the strong wind brought by the sleeves of the robe, and they were thrown away with the help of strength.
In the other room, as soon as the wheelchair stopped by the window sill, Ji Bingyan immediately turned the wheelchair around and happened to block the window with her body.
Chu Liuxiang rushed over, but was blocked by the smoke that exploded from a hidden weapon flying towards him: "Little Hu!"
In the thick smoke, Hu Tiehua only felt a chill on his head, and then a heavy object hit his head hard, grabbing his head several times like an octopus.There was also a "thump" under his feet, and several solid obstacles were inexplicably added out of thin air, which tripped him as he took a step back to prepare for a counterattack, and suddenly lost his balance unexpectedly and fell to the ground.
Then a cold fingertip blade immediately stuck to his neck: "Don't move! Braid!"
Mo Qi pushed aside the glass bottle to disperse the mist again.
A cute, white and tender boy wearing only a pair of underwear is riding fiercely on Hu Tiehua's neck, trapping Hu Tiehua in an extremely twisted posture: "Move again, cut off!" up your neck!"
Chu Liuxiang and the old housekeeper looked at the boy's flat chest with dumbfounded.
The boy was still holding Miss Chidiao's face, but the exposed flat chest clearly showed that the famous Oiran lady in Zuichunlou was actually a genuine boy.
"He... this... I..." the old butler has been a diligent, self-denying and honest man all his life. He had already embarrassed an old man of his age when he entered Zuichun Tower and met Qiandiao. She never thought that this oiran girl, she, she, she, she—she is actually a man? !
The old butler was dumbfounded.
Hu Tiehua was thrown on the ground, unable to move, and couldn't see who was pressing him, so he could only yell in a muffled voice: "What's going on?! Who!! Who is pressing me!"
Chu Liuxiang grasped the black hidden weapon stuck on the wall in front of her, pulled it out halfway, then her pupils shrank, she let go of it suddenly, and jumped back quickly.
"boom!"
The hidden weapon containing the gunpowder exploded immediately.
Fortunately, Chu Liuxiang discovered it in time, pulled the distance away, and slapped a few more palms, so that the shattered hidden weapon didn't blow up on him.
The heroes who had been entertained by Li Guanghan's gunpowder cartridge not long ago looked at the charred wall several times with lingering fear.
The amount of gunpowder buried in this hidden weapon is not much, and what hurts people is not the fire, but the fragments of the hidden weapon that were blown up and ejected.Thanks to this, otherwise the Zuichun Building that the Taoist priest just bought would be blown up and rebuilt.
Chu Liuxiang withdrew her hand and looked at the boy who was still restraining Hu Tiehua with a complicated expression.
The boy proudly raised his eyebrows at Chu Liuxiang, then bent down, and almost broke Hu Tiehua's neck by riding on the ass of Hu Tiehua's neck: "I am a hero."
He squeezed his throat, and let out a sweet voice that belonged to Chidori girl.
Hu Tiehua was stunned: "What the hell... Chidori... no, Chidori?!" His tone suddenly rose, his voice almost broke, "Isn't Chidiao a girl! Why is she still wearing handles! ?”
Although the boy is not very old, he must have what he should have.Sitting on Hu Tiehua's neck, Hu Tiehua couldn't feel the back of his head... what?
Chu Liuxiang leaned back slightly: "...I want to know too."
Chidori said before that he was benevolent and not benevolent, but now it seems that it is probably all lies.As for Chidori's situation, how could he have any benefactors? He doesn't know who is older than whom after taking off his pants!
There is also the conjecture that Qiandiao is the girl Li Guanghan loves before, so I have to put a question mark first.After Chidori took off his fancy clothes, the Adam's apple on Xinchang's neck was still very obvious. No wonder he had to wear such complicated twelve sheets when he was disguised, deliberately covering his neck.If he was really the girl that Li Guanghan met every night, Li Guanghan would have doubts when he saw the little girl wrapped around her neck every day.
"The moves and weapons look a bit like Japanese ninjas." Chu Liuxiang looked at Chidori who was holding Hu Tiehua and stood up.
Chidori didn't look very old, he looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and was much shorter than Hu Tiehua. He pressed his shuriken against Hu Tiehua's neck and had to raise his hands to support his feet.He realized this problem when he pulled Hu Tiehua up, and simply pulled Hu Tiehua's braid, making Hu Tiehua bend over to match his height.
Hu Tiehua's expression suddenly became bitter.
Under normal circumstances, he would be able to kill the short winter melon intimidator by standing up at this time. However, Chidori opened and closed his fingers extremely nimbly a few times before standing up, and then swayed in front of him. They have all been tightly entangled by a sharp and thin thread.
When he got up, he didn't cooperate very much. When Chidori closed his fingers, the thin thread was tied a little tighter, cutting off a layer of his clothes, and Hu Tiehua didn't dare to move immediately.
"Are you a ninja from Japan?" Gong Jiu asked Chidori with interest, not caring about Hu Tiehua's life or death.
Chu Liuxiang backhanded, and quietly lit a stick of incense.
·
·
Chidori, who had washed off her make-up and put on clean men's clothes, was petite and delicate, like a young man born with a golden spoon in his mouth.Japan is different from Song soil, Chidori did not grow hair, the hair is only left to the cheeks, cut neatly, and the broken hair hangs down the cheeks.It made his small face even smaller.
After bewildering Chidori, everyone did not tie him up, but helped Hu Tiehua remove the silver thread from his body, and Chu Liuxiang awakened Chidori.
With preparedness in place, it would be very difficult for Chidori to make a surprise attack.The people present were all very skilled, and they felt that since they would never miss again, why bother to tie up Chidori?
After waking up, Chidori didn't say anything like using Miyan to be mean, after all, he himself often uses this thing.
Chidori scratched his face, sat arrogantly on the tatami mat, sloppy legs, raised his chin with a bit of disdain and a little pride: "I'm not a ninja, I just learned Just some ninjutsu."
But he was born with jade and jade, and his facial features are a little bit natural, even if he sits in a mess and is domineering, he can't make people feel the slightest disgust.
"I just learned it, I'm afraid I'm being modest." Chu Liuxiang shook his head and smiled.
Chidori's ninjutsu is indeed the best among the Japanese ninjas that Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua have encountered.
There are geniuses in the sky in Central Plains, and naturally there are also in Dongpu.
Hu Tiehua and Chu Liuxiang had encountered ninjas from Japan before Chidori, but none of them had such an exquisite grasp of ninjutsu like Chidori.With just a few attacks, he was able to calculate and disrupt Hu Tiehua's rhythm just right, and perfectly avoided Chu Liuxiang's assistance, widening the distance between himself and other people in the wing room, and restraining Hu Tiehua in an instant.
"How did you know that I would raise my head, step back, and fight back at that time?" Hu Tiehua asked with half admiration and half doubt.
Chidori grasped these three nodes with such precision that it was as if... he knew in advance which reaction he would make at which moment.
Chidori sat up straight, folded his legs a little, tapped his toes, and said frankly: "I don't know, that's what I'm like! Then you bumped into my palm."
When Chidori was gesturing, the few strands of hair on the top of his head swayed stupidly with him.
As Chidori spoke, the reserve on his face couldn't hold back.He swayed his feet together with a little pride, and boasted cheekily: "Don't be dissatisfied, I am born with such good luck! I have never met anyone who can beat me people."
"..." Mo Qi glanced at the emaciated Hu Tiehua speechlessly, and brought the topic back to the main topic: "Your Excellency came to Manli, and you are not an enemy of us, so why do you dare to ask?"
Chidori turned his face sideways, with a bit of innocence: "Come and play."
Mo Qi: "... play?"
Chidori sensed the suspicion contained in the gazes of the crowd, his small face immediately hung, and he sat up straight and said angrily, "Why, no? Not only the Song Dynasty, but when I travel all over the Song Dynasty, I will also go to Xixia, Daliao , Burma, Tubo...there are farther and farther, even to places I have never heard of!"
Chidori snorted, raised his delicate chin and asked, "That's right! I haven't asked yet, why did you discover my disguise?"
Gong Jiu looked at Chidori's appearance, just like looking at the unruly canary raised in his own cage, his eyes made people panic, but his tone was not obvious: "Don't look at me, it's Mo The Taoist priest saw it."
Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows in surprise, and cast a questioning look at Mo Qi.
Gong Jiu: "Just now, Daoist Mo said to me through voice transmission, saying 'a thousand birds are different', that's why I made the move."
Chidori's curious little head turned to Mo Qi again.
Mo Qi: "...your shuriken fell out."
Although it was covered by Twelve Dans, from his angle, he could just see a small bulge protruding from Twelve Dans' back hem with the shuriken.
Chidori choked for a moment, his pink mouth involuntarily pouted slowly, grabbed the shuriken that had started to slip down from his waist, and swung it fiercely: "Damn it!"
Chidori threw the innocent shuriken against the wall with a "whoosh" and pierced half of his body.
Hu Tiehua looked at the wall that was riddled with fragments of hidden weapons and was riddled with holes: "Uh... It seems that the Taoist priest bought this restaurant?"
"That's right." Ji Bingyan cast her eyes coldly, and said to Chidori, "I'm sorry. It will be deducted from your money for this month."
Chidori's eyes widened, and he quickly retracted the other shuriken that he was about to throw again into his sleeve.
Chu Liuxiang stood in the back row and didn't speak any more. She seemed to be quiet, but she was in secret with Mo Qi through sound transmission: "Master Daoist, what do you think?"
Mo Qi looked at Chidori who was full of anger, his short height couldn't even reach his chest: "...you have to believe it, and you can't believe it completely."
Mo Qi: "I came to Song Dynasty from Dongying alone, just for 'playing', why did I choose to stop in Manli at such a coincident time? And why did I have to pretend to be the lady of Chunlou Huakui?"
In order not to let Qiandiao find out, Chu Liuxiang did not nod, but agreed: "That's right. Since he can accurately pick out the three deceased businessmen, it must be related to the Penglai case more or less.... "
Chu Liuxiang looked at Chidori, who had already started pounding the tatami with a fan to vent his anger. He looked like a self-willed young man who became angry after accidentally showing his feet and being exposed, but it seemed that he really had no bad intentions.
Mo Qi pondered for a while, and then asked Chu Liuxiang: "Apart from the local dead in Manli City, did you ever carry the portraits of those foreigners who came to Manli?"
Apart from being dumbfounded, the old butler who seemed to be unable to find anything he could do hurriedly said, "I brought it."
He took out a stack of portraits from his sleeve, handed them to Mo Qi, and quietly glanced at Prince Taiping at the side.
Prince Taiping's eyes were fixed on Mo Qi as expected.
Mo Qi didn't know that from today onwards, there would be another person in the team who was sure about Gong Jiu and him.He put the portrait in front of Chidori: "Have you ever seen these people?"
Qiandiao glanced at Mo Qi, and opened the portrait to look at it.This time, he actually picked out more than half of the people: "These, these...well, and this, this..." Chidori picked it up by himself, feeling something was wrong, "These people, are they all Is it the 'Shengxianke' taken away by the 'Pengshan Immortal'?"
Chidori stared at the portrait, with a sudden bewildered expression on his face.
Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows: "Oh? You also know 'Sheng Xianke'?"
Chidori did not hide it, and said calmly: "Naturally, in the Spring Tower, even the most terrible news may be obtained."
"Since that's the case." Chu Liuxiang said, "May I ask why your Excellency is pretending to be an oiran lady, and what is the purpose of staying in this spring building?"
Chidori threw the separated portrait on the tatami in front of him: "Of course it's because - I have no money!"
Qiandiao said confidently: "I came to Da Song from my hometown, and I didn't come through the checkpoints. I can also be regarded as a stowaway, and I didn't bring any property with me. If I want to make a living, shouldn't I hurry up and earn money?"
"Isn't it the best and fastest way to make money by pretending to be an oiran lady?" Chidori proudly taught her experience of earning money while spending money along the way, "Whenever I go to a place, I just need to find the most prosperous money in that place." Changing the most moving appearance of the Chunlou, the old bustard will naturally invite me in. For those benefactors who send money to the door, I just need to charm them with rosemary and send them a sweet dream. Two days... the money will come naturally."
Chidori recounted the innumerable benefits of this method: "Pretending to be an oiran lady, you can still be served by fragrant and soft maids, and have the best house to live in. Naturally, someone will bring me food when I am hungry, and there will be good-looking maids when I am thirsty." The little sister poured water for me, and if she wanted any information, she listened to it from the lobby, and if she still wanted to ask more questions, I could still point people to my room for interrogation without attracting anyone's attention..."
"..." Chu Liuxiang couldn't find anything to answer Chidori's words for a while, so she had to return to the original topic, "Then these people, do you know their identities?"
It is most difficult to check the identity of the deceased from other places.If Chidori could reveal some fragments, it would be of great help to them in verifying the identity of the deceased.
Chidori raised his eyebrows: "'Yes'? No, it's not 'yes', they all know. Not only do I know, but I still remember the order in which they came to Zuichunlou."
He reached out and took back the portraits of the people he had seen, and lined up one by one: "In the beginning, it was this person."
Mo Qi and the others were all taken aback.
The portrait that Chidori took out first was the prince mentioned by the four men locked in the dungeon of the Li family.
Unexpectedly, this portrait was recognized by Chidori before Lin Qi sent any news.
Chidori said: "This person can be regarded as the first 'business' I received in Zuichunlou. He is crazy, and he keeps talking nonsense about 'cultivating the Dao and becoming a real fairy'. I was quite impressed with him.”
Mo Qi: "Do you know who this person is?"
Chidori nodded: "I know! That's why I felt so strange when you said that these people are dead!" Chidori pointed to the portrait of Prince Wang, "If what he said is not crazy, then he is the same size as Jinling The son of the Wang family in Wang Zhifu, why did his death not stir up any storms, and it sank after a wave?"
"The Prefect of King Jinling..." Chu Liuxiang repeated it several times in his mouth, and it always felt very familiar.
Gong Jiu's eyes were finally willing to turn away from Mo Qi for a moment: "Yumen Pass, Zhao Xianzhi's letter also mentioned this prefect of Jinling."
·
·
The information Chidori gave was indeed true.After sending pigeons to verify, everyone got a reply from Jinling's hidden pile, saying that the prince is indeed the young son of the prefect of Jinling, but it seems that the prefect doesn't know that his son is dead, and the whole family still should What to do.
Except for this prince, the other princes identified by Chidori were checked according to the information given by Chidori, and their identities were also verified.They are all the children of rich families who are usually muddle-headed, useless, and not very favored. After they disappeared, no one in the family even asked a question.
"How could this be?" Chu Liuxiang said, "Others are fine. But this young master Wang, according to this letter and Chidori's statement, is clearly very favored at home. He has been missing for nearly half a year." Don't tell me, the prefect Wang isn't worried about his children at all?"
Gong Jiu waved away the falling feathers in front of him: "Or, he simply knows what his son will do, and he even sent him to this place." His movements suddenly paused, and he stretched out his hand again A piece of feather caught it, "Isn't this the tail feather of Sparrow Ling?"
"Chirp—" A slender cyan shadow passed over the heads of the crowd, flapped its wings in panic, changed direction, and flew to another place.
Chidori, who was surrounded intentionally or unintentionally by everyone to prevent him from escaping, raised his head in confusion, stared suddenly, and jumped up and down excitedly: "Wow, what is that? Could it be the legendary blue bird— ——I saw the blue bird! I am really lucky, and I can still see the blue bird that symbolizes happiness when I come to Song Dynasty!"
Chidori waved his arms vigorously, and shouted while jumping: "Blue bird—don't fly away! Come and give me another look!"
Gong Jiu's ears were stung by Qiandiao's yelling, and he walked away in disgust, throwing away the tail feather of the sparrow in his hand.
Qiandiao went crazy and almost rushed out of the encirclement, but was stopped by Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua together: "Wow, what are you doing! That's the tail of the blue bird, if you don't want it, give it to me!"
Qiandiao looked at the dirty tail feathers at Gong Jiu's feet, grabbed the arm blocked by Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua, raised his head and looked eagerly at the sparrow feathers that were still flying around in the air: "Blue bird—blue bird—"
He was really excited, the real blue bird worshiped by him was miserable.
It was supposed to be just an ordinary day.Que Ling completed the task of delivering the letter, and continued to carry out her three-point and one-line life honestly in the general's mansion as usual: feed yourself—walk yourself—continue to feed yourself.But I don't know what kind of bad luck happened today. In the afternoon, Que Ling had just slept enough and was about to continue feeding herself. As soon as she returned to the cage and took a few mouthfuls of bird food, she was suddenly caught by a black shadow. He jumped up.
The black shadow fluttered and shouted: "Blue Bird!"
Que Ling fluttered her wings in fright, and flew away as if to flee, almost choking on the bird food in her mouth: "Chirp chirp chirp!"
It circled in the sky, staring at the man in black who was looking at him with a bird-hair-raising gaze, only to realize that this is the guy who suddenly went crazy and wanted to smash it to death with broken porcelain ?
Behind Li Guanghan was a large group of servants and maidservants chasing, some of them shouted: "General, where are you going!", and some were holding clothes: "General, put your clothes on first!"
Li Guanghan didn't listen at all, he just stared at Que Ling with a kind of obsessive eyes, wherever Que Ling flew, he would use his lightness kung fu to chase there.
The construction of General Li’s Mansion also has a history of a hundred years. There are century-old tall trees planted everywhere in the mansion. Because it is located in the south, every tree grows towering and lush, with dense aerial roots hanging from the branches.Li Guanghan stepped on these tall trees to catch Que Ling, and almost grabbed Que Ling's tail several times.
Que Ling ran panic-stricken in front, and Li Guanghan chased after him. A group of people behind him shouted for the general, and the entire general's mansion was filled with chaos and smog.
The old butler almost fainted: "What, what are you doing!" He immediately left everyone behind, and ran behind Li Guanghan himself, "General, don't run anymore! It's winter wind and cold, you are seriously injured and physically weak If you don't wear proper clothes, you will catch cold!"
After all, the old housekeeper was old, and after running for a few steps, he was out of breath, stopped, and anxiously shouted at the servants who were still trailing behind General Li: "Stop the general!"
Before Mo Qi could enter the mansion, he stood outside the gate of the general's mansion and raised his hand to give a whistle. Que Ling, who was still scurrying around in the air, seemed to have found its backbone, and let out a long cry in the air , turned the bird's head, and rushed in the direction of whistling.
The moment Mo Qi opened his hand, Que Ling had already plunged into his palm, Xiao Pang's body was trembling with fright, and he was quite frightened.
Li Guanghan rushed over and landed in front of Mo Qi: "Blue Bird!"
His condition is very wrong, his whole body seems to be hit by an evil spirit, his eyes are bloodshot, staring at the ball in Mo Qi's hands without blinking, and he is trying to peck his own tail with his beak. The tail also nestled into the sparrow feathers in the palm of the owner's hand.
The old housekeeper was supported by several servants, and caught up out of breath: "General, general, this is, huh! What's going on!"
The old housekeeper anxiously stretched out his hand, trying to pull Li Guanghan's arm and make him turn around so that someone could add clothes to him.Unexpectedly, Li Guanghan was stuck in place like an iron pillar, he couldn't move at all, he just stared at the sparrow's feathers, and murmured: "Blue bird... blue bird..."
Qiandiao was excitedly calling Blue Bird at first, wanting to get close to Mo Qi to have a look at the sparrow feathers, but every time he called out, Li Guanghan would give him a vicious look, so that in the end, he didn't dare to call out again. and hid behind Mo Qi.
The old housekeeper turned his despairing and hopeful eyes to Mo Qi, as if Mo Qi was his last straw: "Master Daoist, what's wrong with our general!"
Mo Qi was also extremely confused: "It stands to reason that this should not be the case... It should be that General Li was stimulated again, and the internal force collided with the hidden wound in the body, and the blood qi surged up, which also affected the congestion in the brain. , so that his current sanity is a little abnormal."
"It's much scarier than when I saw it in the morning..." Hu Tiehua looked at Li Guanghan's staring eyes, and felt hairy all over his body.
Li Guanghan murmured to Que Ling for a while, seeing that Que Ling no longer avoided him, the almost crazy aura around him eased down again.
"Blue Bird..." He poked his head out, wanting to rub against the bird's feathers.
Que Ling was frightened, her feathers exploded, she spread her wings and was about to fly away when Mo Qi pressed a finger against her little head: "Don't move."
Li Guanghan took the medicine he prescribed, and he shouldn't have such a reaction. Mo Qi was a little puzzled, and wanted to observe Li Guanghan's situation again.
The sparrow's feathers were tucked into Mo Qi's palm, and the feathers on the back were messed up by Li Guanghan's big head: "Chirp..."
Li Guanghan seemed to be more relaxed after rubbing against the sparrow feathers, with an appearance of "a bird is enough".Mo Qi took Li Guanghan's warm clothes from the old housekeeper and put them on Li Guanghan, but Li Guanghan didn't respond.
He pressed his head against the back of the bird with its feathers for a while, and said in a low and soft voice, "Don't go."
Li Guanghan's eyes no longer stared fiercely at people, Chidori finally had the courage to poke his head out from behind Mo Qi.He blinked and blinked, his eyes wandering around Li Guanghan's thin but tall body.
Li Guanghan lowered his head and stuck to the back of the bird, perhaps in his eyes, he was leaning on the back of the blue bird tenderly.But in the eyes of everyone, he is actually buried docilely in Mo Qi's palm.
Because of the madness of the owner, the straight and smooth hair broke free from the crown, and was loosely and messily scattered on Li Guanghan's back, with some silver strands mixed in.Chidori stood on tiptoe from behind Mo Qi and looked forward, just in time to see Li Guanghan's sagging nape, pale and thin. The feeling of desolation makes one can't help but want to touch it to comfort him.
"Did Li Guanghan regard Que Ling as that blue bird?" Hu Tiehua lowered his voice and asked Chu Liuxiang.
Chu Liuxiang: "It's possible."
"What's the situation now?" Hu Tiehua whispered wonderingly, "Could it be that he's 'dreaming back to the past' now, repeating the old incident between him and that blue bird?"
"Yes." Mo Qi looked down at the forehead resting against Que Ling, as if he was absorbing the slight warmth from Que Ling's small body, "His consciousness is a little confused, and he may intermittently repeat certain past memories. Judging from the current situation, it should all be related to the blue bird."
Hu Tiehua clapped his hands subconsciously: "Isn't that good? We just wanted to ask him what happened to him and the blue bird, and we were worried that he would not answer. Isn't it just right now! It's just a pity, his dream "Back to the past" probably didn't go in order, we have to go through the order after reading it."
Hu Tiehua babbled these words faster than his brain, looked at Li Guanghan's pitiful and fragile appearance, felt that he had said too much, and blamed himself.
He cleared his throat, and said awkwardly: "...That's what I said, but why do I feel that we are a bit of a jerk just looking at General Li like this?" Hu Tiehua scratched his face and suggested embarrassingly. , "Shouldn't we have a group of people watching around here, and take the general back to the house first?"
Hu Tiehua always felt that what they were doing now was a bit like they were watching rare and exotic animals, rather like they were taking advantage of Li Guanghan's danger to humiliate Li Guanghan.
Mo Qi thought the same way. After Hu Tiehua proposed, he tried to move his hands, trying to lure General Li back into the house.As a result, Li Guanghan immediately raised his head suddenly, and his eyes looked like he was about to go crazy. Mo Qi had to move his hand back to the distance: "I can't move now, I can only look at it like this."
Mo Qi looked down at Li Guanghan, and after moving his hand back, Li Guanghan buried his head back on his own, carefully leaning on Que Ling, as if relying on his last warmth.
Li Guanghan couldn't listen to what Ren Hu Tiehua and others said.Now in his world, only he and "Blue Bird" exist, and this memory is still going down.
Li Guanghan took a step back, his eyes were still fixed on Que Ling, but his hands
