As soon as he returned to the East Palace, Murong Ci heard from Ruyi that Murong Yu wanted her to go to Cunmo Pavilion.
It's afternoon now, shouldn't he be in the study? Why is she in Cunmo Pavilion? What's the matter
She hesitated for half an hour before deciding to go. Anyway, she was thinking about everything, so she might as well go and see what it was.
The servant took her to the study, she knocked on the door, and a deep voice came from inside: "Come in."
She took a deep breath, her bright eyes rolled, and she had a flash of inspiration, "Autumn is just right, why don't you enjoy the flowers in the gazebo and bask in the sun, my lord."
After waiting for a while, the door of the room opened suddenly. She was proud of her quick thinking, when suddenly an evil hand stretched out and dragged her in.
She saw a flash of black and wide sleeves, extremely fast, she hadn't seen clearly, the force was as ferocious as a thunderstorm, and it sucked her whole body in understatement.
Murong Ci was in a daze. Before he could stand still, he was already locked in the small space between the wall and his chest.
She was very annoyed, but she calmed down immediately, staring at Murong Yu, "I'm in a bad mood, I want to take a gazebo outside."
The sound stopped abruptly.
Not engulfed, but forced to abort.
Because Murong Yu suddenly approached her, only an inch away from her lips.
"It's better to go to the gazebo." Her heart was beating poundingly, fast and slow following his movements.
"It's a good proposal, but I don't like it. I won't stop you from talking, but I can't control myself." Murong Yu's eyes and brows were full of evil spirits and rascals.
"You bastard" Murong Ci glared at him angrily. It was conceivable that as long as she continued to "propose", he would kiss her unceremoniously.
endure
She pushed him away ferociously, took three steps back, and stayed away from him, "What's the matter, tell me quickly"
He poured a cup of tea, handed it to her, and asked, "How is the investigation of the two massacres?"
She was really thirsty, so she took it and drank half a glass, "I have some clues, but there is no way to catch the murderer."
"How to say?" Murong Yu was surprised.
"Princess Duanrou found a jade card in the servant's room of Jian's house. That jade card should not be owned by the servants of Jian's family. I asked someone in this palace. That kind of jade card is the exclusive identity certificate of Baihualou. " Murong resigned.
"Baihualou" he pressed his sword eyebrows slightly, and suddenly remembered something, searched around the bookshelf, then took out a book, after searching for a while, he walked to her side, and showed her carefully, "Is it this kind of jade plaque?" "
"It's this kind of jade token, how could you have it?" She saw that the adjacent pages in the book recorded Baihualou, and her mind moved slightly.
"My subordinates have checked Baihualou. Baihualou's whereabouts are erratic and its behavior is secretive. It is a force that should not be underestimated in the imperial capital. Although Baihualou has not made any major moves in recent years, I have sent someone to keep an eye on it." Murong Yu's deep eyes Sharp as an eagle, it seems to have seen everything, "Do you think the murderer is from Baihualou?"
"Both Bengong and Zhiyan deduce that the murderer is from Baihualou. How much do you know about Baihualou?" Murong Ci asked excitedly.
Instead of answering, he asked, "Why did the people from Baihualou kill the entire Li family and the Jian family?" His black eyes were icy cold, "It should not be a vendetta. Baihualou has done nothing in recent years, and suddenly committed a shocking crime." In a big case, there must be a conspiracy."
Her mood was a bit complicated, whether she should admire or be in awe of his amazing brain. She said: "I think Baihualou is here for the imperial court and the royal family. Have you ever heard of the leader of Baihualou? Do you know where the lair of Baihualou is?"
Murong Yu narrowed his black eyes coldly, "My subordinates searched for a long time before they found the tip of the iceberg of Baihualou. About five years ago, shortly after my king returned to the court, Baihualou suddenly appeared in the imperial capital. Strange. It was not until three years later that my subordinates tracked down the traces of Baihualou. Most of the people in Baihualou are women with high martial arts skills. The host said that the dragon never sees the end, and only high-ranking people have the opportunity to meet the host."
How could it be such a coincidence that just after he returned to court, Baihualou appeared
"The appearance of Baihualou coincides with the timing of your return to court, could it be aimed at you?" Murong Ci boldly speculated.
"It's hard to say, but there may be this possibility. It is rumored that this landlord's martial arts are at the peak, and his lightness kung fu is even more amazing. Some say it is a woman, and some say it is a man. No one has ever seen this mysterious landlord, even Baihualou. There are only one or two people here who have seen the real face of the landlord."
"In the past five years, hasn't Baihualou made a big difference in the Imperial Capital?"
"No major achievements, even disappearing. But I believe that Baihualou must be operating secretly, and it is impossible that there is no movement at all."
"You didn't find Baihualou's lair either."
"I haven't even found the foothold of Baihualou in the city, let alone its lair." Murong Yu's deep eyes burst out with a cold stern light, "I don't believe that Baihualou will disappear without a trace under my nose "
"What do you want to do?" Murong Ci felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. After five years of hard work, he became the number one farmer in the world
The ability to spy on news is still not as good as that of Murong Yu, and he got more news from Baihualou than Rong Zhan.
"As long as the people in Baihualou move, I will be able to track them down." He raised his eyebrows with a murderous look, "Give me that jade token."
She took out the jade tablet and handed it to him, "If you find the lair of Baihualou, you must tell me."
Murong Yu held her little hand together, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "My Murong Yu's woman must have the courage and ability to fight side by side with me. Do you have the ability?"
At this time, his expression was half unscrupulous and evil, and five parts iron-blooded tenderness, mixed together, making it difficult to tell the truth from the fake.
Murong Ci pulled out his hand angrily, "The devil wants to be your woman"
He stretched out his other arm to embrace her into his arms, his sword eyebrows were flying, his eyes were as deep as an abyss, and as bright as stars, "A Ci, I hope that one day, you will stand by my side willingly and hold my hand, stay with me"
"You're dreaming" she interrupted him roughly, word by word, gritting her teeth, gnashing her teeth.
"I believe there will be a day like that."
Murong Yu said firmly, hugging her tightly, ignoring her struggle.
It's been a night.
After noon, Murong Ci hurried to the Phoenix Tower because Qin Ruo had received a message from Rong Lan that a young master wanted to buy the Phoenix Tower and offered an extremely attractive price. Rong Lan rejected the young master very politely, but he lobbied relentlessly and stayed in the Phoenix Tower, saying that he would only leave when he saw the boss.
Rong Lan had no choice but to send a message to the host to give him an idea.
Murong Ci thought for a while that the discerning young master dared to take the idea of Phoenix Tower, he must be full.
This time she did not bring Qin Ruo, and came to the Phoenix Tower alone wearing a silver mask. Since it was afternoon, the Phoenix Tower was deserted, and only a few servants were cleaning it.
She went straight into her own private room, and after a while, Rong Lan walked in and said with a smile: "Lord, I really had no choice but to invite you here."
"It's okay, I'll stop by the Phoenix Tower to have a look, is everything okay?" Murong Ci's face was hidden in a silver mask, only revealing a pair of clear eyes, which looked extraordinarily deep.
"Everything is fine, but that young master seems to want to buy and sell by force."
“Still in Phoenix Tower”
"Well, I arranged for him to wait in the private room on the second floor." Rong Lan asked hesitantly, "Do you want to see him now?"
"Alright, let's go." Murong Ci walked out briskly.
Arriving at the private room on the second floor, Rong Lan pushed open the door and said with a sharp smile, "Young Master Qin, the boss of our Phoenix Tower is here."
When Murong Ci heard the words "Mr. Qin", his heart was shocked.
It can't be that coincidental.
The young man in white, who was sitting in the room drinking tea comfortably, stood up slowly, and turned around slowly. His elegant and noble demeanor, his unrestrained and unrestrained feeling, all made her feel inexplicably familiar.
Her heart suddenly jumped up, it wasn't him, it wasn't him, it wasn't him
However, she came here for whatever she was afraid of. When she saw a handsome, elegant face and a pair of extremely beautiful gray-blue eyes, her mind went blank for a moment.
Fortunately, she was wearing a mask, otherwise she would have been exposed.
The beauty of the jade in the Penglai fairy mountain, the soul of the Qionghua in the misty clouds, and the spirit of the banished immortal in the Jiuchong Heavenly Court probably refer to a wonderful person like him, perfect and flawless.
"Master, please come here. Is it Qin's fault? Do you dare to ask your surname?" Mr. Qin bowed his hands and saluted very politely.
"Mian's surname is Rong." Murong Ci quietly changed his voice, otherwise with his shrewdness, he would definitely recognize her voice. She said to Rong Lan, "Serve tea."
"Okay, young master, wait a moment." Rong Lan's charming eyes moved sensitively.
"Mr. Rong, sit inside." Mr. Qin was quite enthusiastic, with a smile on his brows, "Mr. Rong manages such a large Phoenix Tower at such a young age, it is really a formidable young man."
"Young Master Qin is not a few years older than me." She lifted her robe and sat down.
"If Mr. Rong doesn't dislike it, Qin is willing to be commensurate with your brother."
"Mr. Qin, you and I are not familiar with each other when we meet for the first time." Murong Ci said bluntly, this Mr. Qin really likes to make friends, calling him brother everywhere.
Mr. Qin smiled awkwardly, "This time, I am acquainted with each other again. Qin is unfamiliar with the place in the capital. I would like to make friends with Mr. Rong."
She sneered, and said sharply: "This friend wants to poach a corner, so don't worry about it."
He was no longer embarrassed when he spoke so bluntly. He still had a smile on his brows, smiling like a breeze, "Young Master Rong doesn't want to sell the Phoenix Tower."
She blinked mockingly, "The Phoenix Tower is my painstaking effort for many years. It is called you. Will you sell it? Besides, the bookkeeping of the Phoenix Tower is very good. If it goes on like this, for thirty or fifty years, it will be passed on to me." The future generations will become the family property, the wealth is immeasurable, and this kind of family inheritance cannot be measured by gold and silver treasures."
