Bian Ding's needle was pulled out and he collapsed on the ground. The pain in his body was unbearable. Hearing Xia Chu's name made him feel even more chilly.
When he saw Xia Chu turning around to leave, he quickly added: "Bingwen asked you to go directly to the third floor. The window has been opened for you."
Xia Chu paused for a moment, wondering what kind of amazing person had come to Wentian Pavilion to make Bingwen go to such trouble.
When Bian Ding saw him leaving the room, he simply lay down on the ground. He really didn't have the strength to follow him. He had to take his time...
When Xia Chu went out, he called a raven, and a moment later, two figures, one gray and one black, fell down.
The gray-robed raven looks cool and cool, while the black-robed raven has bruises all over his face...
Xia Chu coughed lightly and asked Bian Hao, "Who is here?"
Bian Hao shook his swollen head, and his handsome little face was now unrecognizable: "I don't know, he is wearing a bamboo hat with a gauze curtain attached, so he can't see his face clearly. But the head must be big, there are many masters buried around him."
"It's interesting." A smile appeared on Xia Chu's lips, and he led Raven out the door and headed straight to Wentian Pavilion.
Arriving at the back alley of Wentian Pavilion, Xia Chu saw no one around and asked the raven beside him: "Approximately how many people are buried over there?"
The raven closed its eyes and sensed, and after a moment replied: "Twelve."
Xia Chu frowned slightly, this number was really quite a lot. As King Mo, Xiao Mubai only had six secret guards, and the emperor's secret guards only had ten.
"You go over there and lead me away. I'm going to rush to the third floor." Xia Chu pointed in a direction, and the raven rose from the ground.
In an instant, one gray and three black flashed into the distance. Xia Chu seized the time to get up from the ground and flew to the third floor of Wentian Pavilion without any sound.
Following the scattered sunlight in the window, Xia Chu jumped in lightly.
The floor on the third floor was covered with all kinds of animal skin carpets, which were extremely thick.
Therefore, when Xia Chu jumped down, the soles of his white boots sank into his fur, making no sound as he quietly walked to the door.
Because of the spiral staircase, he couldn't see below, but he wanted to get closer and listen to what was going on underneath.
"Sir, I don't have much patience."
When Xia Chu heard this familiar deep magnetic voice, his body near the door froze as if struck by lightning.
Good guy, Yue Fengwan is here to buy information from Wentian Pavilion from Bingwen
"It's getting late, sir. Why don't you go have a meal first? How about Bingwen waiting here." Listening to Bingwen's gentle and elegant voice, Xia Chu's decent and calm demeanor instantly appeared in his mind.
"Master, please don't let me down when the time comes." Yue Fengwan chuckled softly after saying this, but Xia Chu's heart tightened inexplicably, and then the sound of 'ta da da' coming downstairs sounded in his ears.
Bingwen's smiling face froze, and he watched his figure leave Wentian Pavilion from the window, then turned around and prepared to go downstairs.
At this time, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, but Bingwen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you don't come again, I plan to go to the Hou Mansion to find you in person."
Xia Chu suddenly reached out and took his pulse to check, and his tone of voice was extremely serious: "Do you know who he is?"
Bingwen turned around and saw that his face was very solemn. He couldn't help but frowned and said: "I don't know, he never took off the hat with gauze curtain during the whole process. But this person makes me very uncomfortable and oppressive. That feeling I’ve only felt it with one person.”
"Oh?" Xia Chu raised his eyebrows and withdrew his hand for diagnosing the pulse.
"Your Majesty." After saying this, Bingwen felt ridiculous and shook his head. The age of this man's voice was far different from that of the Emperor. It was impossible, but the majesty surrounding him was real.
"You have a keen sense." Xia Chu sighed and walked upstairs.
Bingwen was shocked, and he seemed to recognize Xia Chu's tone. After combining his actions and demeanor just now, his expression changed drastically and he immediately caught up with him upstairs.
"No way..." Bingwen walked to the rosewood desk opposite Xia Chu and sat down, looking at him with an incredulous expression.
Xia Chu said that he had keen senses, which meant that the man just now was indeed an emperor
Today, the Mongolian Khans, King Liang and King Hu have all entered middle age, so the only thing left is the Western Regions. The Empress of the Western Regions is young, and the only one in power is the feared regent.
He didn't know about these things in the Western Region at all. Thanks to the investigation in Jicheng a few days ago, he had just learned the news.
With such a combination now, it's no wonder Xia Chu just checked his pulse.
He looked at his wrist in a daze. According to the news, the regent of the Western Region was using poison to intangible...
"It's not poisoned, just be careful." Xia Chu opened the two wine glasses on the table and picked up the plain white porcelain bottle wine jar.
Fortunately, Bingwen always had everything on the third floor fully stocked, so he could just grab it at his fingertips. He poured two glasses of wine and pushed one to him.
Bingwen took it and drank it. After suppressing his shock, he asked, "How much did you hear?"
"I'm late, I only heard the last two sentences." Xia Chu finished his glass of wine: "What did he come to ask?"
Bingwen's heart was filled with emotions. He was the regent of the Western Regions. Now he appeared in the capital of Xiao Kingdom. Xia Chu was not surprised and asked him very calmly what news he came to buy...
Bingwen actually overestimated Xia Chu this time. Xia Chu was not shocked. He had already been shocked and had calmed down. When he saw Bingwen staring at him absentmindedly, he sighed and pushed him: " I’m asking you something.”
Bingwen woke up from his trance and replied to him: "He came to buy information about someone."
Xia Chu paused while pouring wine: "The hostess of the Miao Family Incense Shop?"
"How do you know?" Bingwen had just calmed down a little, but now he was inevitably shocked again.
Because the news this person bought was the same as what Xia Chu had investigated, Bingwen hurriedly asked Jiewu and Bian Hao to find him quickly.
But he just asked them to look for it and didn't say why. How did Xia Chu know
"Didn't you just say you only heard the last two sentences?" Bingwen's big confused eyes flashed.
"I guessed it." Xia Chu picked up the wine glass and smiled at the corners of his lips: "It seems I guessed it right."
After hearing his answer, Bingwen's face turned green and yellow. Is it okay to be blind? This makes him feel extremely embarrassed when he is working as an intelligence officer...
"He and I have some connections, so you don't have to be so depressed." Xia Chu laughed out loud when she saw his appearance.
"Then how should I reply to him?" Bingwen's hurt heart was slightly comforted, and then he remembered something: "Since you know him, you'd better avoid him quickly, he will be here after eating."
Xia Chu glanced at the silver lampstands placed in the four corners of the attic. In the carved candlesticks on the lampstands and in the small xuan furnace, smoke was rising continuously.
He closed his eyes, took a breath of the unique fragrance contained in the air, sighed, and after a moment he raised his eyes to look at Bingwen, and said with emotion: "It's too late..."
