After Liu Qinghuan finished enjoying her lunch, she saw Tang Zibo wandering in from the door as if he had calculated the time. He glanced at Liu Qinghuan in front of the desk, and asked with a smile, "Miss Du Juan, is it ready?"
Liu Qinghuan curled her lips and said, "It was fine before I saw you."
Tang Zibo said with a good temper: "Since Miss Du Juan doesn't want to meet XX, then XX will introduce another person for the girl."
Liu Qinghuan's eyebrows twitched, but without making a sound, a figure came out from behind Tang Zibo and stood in front of her. The man in the robes and mask of a Zoroastrian priest stared at her without saying a word.
The two stared at each other for a while before the man raised his right hand and took off the mask on his face.
It was a man who seemed to be over forty years old, looking down at her from a high position, with a natural aristocratic temperament on his body, making it obvious that he was born in the royal family at a glance. Liu Qinghuan could only think of one member of the royal family who appeared with Tang Zibo.
King of Lingnan.
Tang Zibo took a step back and introduced, "This is my adoptive father."
Liu Qinghuan made a stunned expression: "Oh, so it's the prince." It's just that the prince didn't stay in his fief and went back to the capital without permission, you know
Lingnan King looked at her for a long time before he said, "The map you gave Aies is fake."
Liu Qinghuan didn't expect his first sentence to be this, and asked in surprise: "Why did the prince say that?"
The King of Lingnan didn't answer, Liu Qinghuan thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Could it be that the lord followed the map to find it? So the lord has "Cinnabar Plum Winter" in his hand?"
Lingnan King said impatiently, "You have too many questions."
Liu Qinghuan shut her mouth resentfully.
Seeing that she was quiet, Lingnan King said, "Hand over the real map."
Liu Qinghuan rolled her eyes in her heart, her tone was truly worthy of being a prince, she opened her mouth to give orders. She glanced at Lingnan King suspiciously, and said innocently, "But what I gave him was the real map."
The King of Lingnan looked at her silently. If eyes can kill, she has already been Lingchi into ten thousand pieces.
Liu Qing welcomed Wang Ye's eye-catching eyes one after another, and his eyes were extremely sincere: "My lord, at first I just saw that "Magnolia Spring" was very valuable, so I tricked it from Zhou Jinjin's mansion. Later, when Xue Mu told me, It was only then that I realized that there was a treasure map on the painting. At that time, he splashed cold water on the table, and I took a few glances at that time, and then drew the map from memory after he took the painting away. If the map It's fake, it must not be my original intention, but... my memory may not be very reliable."
Lingnan King still stared at her silently, and continued to shoot throwing knives at her.
Liu Qinghuan couldn't bear it any longer: "My lord, you have to believe in my sincerity."
The King of Lingnan laughed: "If you are sincere, why do you still wear a human. Skin. Mask?"
Liu Qinghuan pursed her lips, looked at him and said, "Why do you have to embarrass me like this? Although I promised to cooperate with you, I won't let you see my true face."
Lingnan King snorted disdainfully: "You still say you are sincere?"
Liu Qinghuan twitched the corners of her mouth: "If the prince feels unhappy, you can also put on the mask."
King of Lingnan: "..."
He's not that naive yet.
He glanced sideways at Tang Zibo beside him, and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to be so polite to the prisoner, take her to the execution room."
Liu Qinghuan's eyelids twitched, and she hurriedly said, "Wait! Let me recall, I can definitely recall what that map looked like!"
The King of Lingnan looked at her for a while, and said with a smile, "I'll give you a day to remember. If you still can't remember after a day, then I will help you remember."
Liu Qinghuan smiled apologetically, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely remember it."
King Lingnan didn't speak any more, turned around and walked out of the room. Tang Zibo took a look at Feng Zi, and followed him out.
Linnan Wang walked in front and ordered in a calm voice: "Keep an eye on her, don't let her play tricks."
"Father, don't worry." After Tang Zibo finished speaking, he said hesitantly, "About Liu Qinghuan..."
"Hmph, that little girl." Lingnan King sneered, "She will come back when the time is up."
Tang Zibo's eyes darkened for a moment, and he replied in a low voice, "What the foster father said is true."
The King of Lingnan asked again: "Is Xue Mu doing anything?"
Tang Zibo said: "No, I heard that he had a big fight with Du Juan yesterday, so he probably won't come to rescue her."
"That's good." Speaking of this kid Xue Mu, it was like a thorn in his flesh.
When the first emperor was still alive, he had been coveting the throne. He still doesn't understand why his father wants to pass the throne to this weak and incompetent brother. Later, taking advantage of Wen Wei's corruption case, he wanted to take the money as his own and use it to recruit soldiers, but in the end he failed.
That time he slaughtered Liu Zhengqing's family, the late emperor was furious and put pressure on him everywhere, so he had no choice but to hide his strength and bide his time. It wasn't until Xue Cheng died in battle that he felt that the time had come.
This battle with Dongganluo not only wastes money and money, but also destroys the generals. Many neighboring small countries have also spotted this opportunity and are ready to move. People in the court were panicked, but he was planning a strategy. While visiting the ministers to win their support, he secretly communicated with Qiang Wu and signed an alliance with King Qiang Wu.
The only thing he didn't count was that Xue Mu had already shown extraordinary talent as a general at a young age, and he was always invincible on the battlefield.
In the battle with Qiang Wu, after only one battle, Xue Mu defeated Qiang Wu and fled, retreating back to his own land. This battle not only swept away the haze that had shrouded Dacheng after Xue Cheng's death, but also made Xue Mu famous in the first battle.
On the day Xue Mu returned triumphantly, the first emperor personally went to the city gate to greet him. The young general who is only fourteen years old is full of vigor.
The tiger father has no dogs and sons.
These were the five words that popped into his head when he greeted Xue Mu with the late emperor.
It was also at that time that he decided to take Liu Qinghuan, a chess piece, under his command.
Although he failed to get Liu Shilang's support in the Shilang's mansion, Liu Qinghuan and Tang Zibo made friends. Although he has always been wary of Liu Qinghuan, it is always good to have one more chess piece in his hand, and maybe this chess piece will become his trump card in the end.
People always have weaknesses, and for Xue Mu, this weakness is Liu Qinghuan.
When the sky darkened, Xue Mu went to the main room alone.
Chi Tao and Qing Zhi were sitting in the room staring at each other.
Madam's whereabouts were unknown, and Master Hou didn't assign them to other places, so the two naturally had nothing to do. It wasn't until they saw Xue Mu coming in that the two girls bounced up "suddenly" and hurriedly greeted him: "Master Hou!"
Xue Mu nodded casually, and said to them, "I'm staying here tonight."
Chi Tao and Qing Zhi were stunned for a moment, unable to react for a while, until Xue Mu lifted his feet to go into the back room, and then woke up like a dream: "Your maidservant, go clean up now!"
All the things in the house were used by the madam, and the sheets and bedding on the bed were even used by the madam. No matter how you say it, the bed has to be replaced with a new one for Master Hou.
"No need, that's it."
The actions of Chi Tao and Qing Zhi were stopped by Xue Mu's words, and the two maids gave each other a puzzled look, and retreated respectfully.
After Xue Mu washed up, he lay down on the bed.
Her breath was all around, as if she was lying beside him. He buried his head on the pillow, gently sniffing the remaining fragrance of hair on it.
"Qingqing..." Can't help chanting this name, Xue Mu rolled the quilt into his arms, just like hugging that person.
After nightfall, Liu Qinghuan glanced at Feng Zi who was still staring at her with radiance, and yawned: "Aren't you sleepy?"
Although staying here can't see the sky outside, but from the extent of her sleepiness, it can be inferred that it is getting late.
Feng Zi glanced at her and said with a smile: "Your servant is not sleepy, if the girl is sleepy, go to bed first."
"Oh." Liu Qinghuan replied, and was about to get on the bed, when she saw a black thing jumping out from under the bed, which shocked her greatly.
"Ah!" She screamed, pointing at that thing, "What is that?!"
Feng Zi followed her fingers and looked at the ground. A thing that looked like a cockroach but not like a cockroach was scurrying around on the ground, and finally stopped at the edge of the table.
"It's just a cockroach, girl don't need to panic."
Although Feng Zi looked calm, Liu Qinghuan still looked frightened: "I am most afraid of cockroaches! Trample them to death!"
Feng Zi rolled her eyes, a cockroach scared her like this? But looking at her appearance, if she doesn't trample the cockroach to death tonight, she will be able to make a fuss until dawn. Feng Zi pursed her lips and walked up, the little thing shook its tentacles as if it had sensed it.
"How long are you going to look at each other affectionately! Hurry up and trample it to death!" Liu Qinghuan kept yelling while covering her face with a quilt. Feng Zi frowned, and raised her foot to end this life with one kick, but the little thing flew up "buzzing", she almost thought it was a giant fly.
She froze for a moment, and the thing flew in front of her, and with a sound of "poof!", a puff of smoke sprayed out from it, the moment before Feng Zi was smoked, he thought to himself that it was neither a cockroach nor a fly, but It's a weasel.
Liu Qinghuan sat on the bed with her face covered, and after the puff of smoke dissipated, she shook her cuffs, and a small bamboo tube fell out. She opened the bamboo tube, and the little thing that smoked Feng Zi obediently flew in.
Liu Qing smiled happily, stuffed the bamboo tube, and put it back into the sleeve.
She walked up to Feng Zi, bent down and sealed several big holes all over her body, and then clapped her hands triumphantly.
Tang Zibo said that Feng Zi's martial arts were very good, but why did she want to use martial arts with her? She can also... use dirty tricks!
