When Gu Jiao walked out of the house, Xiao Liulang hadn't come yet.
It happened to be diagonally opposite to a shop that sold sugar water, as well as ice candied haws. It was here that she saw Gu Yan and Gu Changqing last time.
The candied haws they bought back were beautiful and clean, and there were many varieties.
Gu Jiao walked over: "Boss, give me three strings of candied haws, one string of sugared oranges, and one string of sugared yam eggs."
The rock sugar yam egg is Xiao Jingkong's favorite. It's round, glutinous, and you don't need to spit out the core.
The boss said with a smile: "Okay, girl, a total of one hundred wen."
Prices in Beijing are really high.
In the county town, a bunch of candied haws only cost three or four cents, while the roadside stalls in the capital cost ten cents for a bunch, and in this shop it doubled.
But the candied haws in the capital are relatively large, and it is approaching the end of the year, so Gu Jiao is relieved when she thinks about it.
She paid the money, wrapped the candied haws in paper, and put them in her little backpack.
Gu Jiao felt that it would be good to wait for Xiao Liulang here. As soon as the thought flashed by, she noticed that someone was staring at her.
In the previous life, if he licked blood from the knife edge, if he could not find it under surveillance, he would have died eight hundred times.
Gu Jiao turned her head away, the other party obviously didn't expect Gu Jiao's intuition to be so sensitive, she didn't have time to hide her figure, so she quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Gu Jiao thought he was gone and ignored him. Xiao Liulang could come over at any time, and she didn't want to miss him.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't give up. After a while, he pushed open the window on the second floor of an inn, pulled the bow and arrow and aimed at Gu Jiao.
Even bows and arrows were used.
It seems that he really reported his determination to find death.
Gu Jiao explained to the owner of Tanghulu Shop: "Boss, if a good-looking boy comes to me in a while, the most beautiful one, you can ask him to wait for me here."
The most, the most beautiful
The boss was a little confused.
Girl, you are a little too loud.
I have opened a shop here for more than 20 years, and the royal family and relatives have also seen it. Who is the most beautiful? Can it look better than the royal family
The lineage of the Zhao Kingdom's royal family is quite good. First of all, the emperor's appearance is very high, and all the concubines who marry into the palace are all beautiful. Can the prince and princess be born not good-looking
The boss didn't take it too seriously. After all, someone came to ask about her later, and he told the truth.
Gu Jiao entered the inn opposite.
The shape of this inn is a bit complicated, with twists and turns.
But Gu Jiao's sense of space is excellent, but in an instant, it is calculated that it is the third room on the left in the east corridor.
Gu Jiao entered the house.
The man slipped so fast that he actually climbed up the roof from the window.
Gu Jiao leaned half of her body out of the window, looked up, grabbed the window frame with one hand, and rolled up to the roof.
This time, she finally saw the general appearance of the other party.
is a man.
Dressed in black.
Gu Jiao pointed her toes, picked up a tile, and kicked the opponent with one kick.
The man didn't expect that Gu Jiao could use such a trick chasing after the person. One couldn't dodge, and was knocked down on the roof by the huge impact of the tile.
Gu Jiao heard a crashing sound, like something iron hit the roof tiles.
Is... a mask? !
Gu Jiao had already guessed who he was.
The number one thief in the capital - Fei Shuang.
Gu Jiao narrowed her eyes and chased after him in three or two steps.
It was too late to get up and run again. The man swept his gaze, rolled his body, and chased down from the edge of the roof.
Well.
a little brainy.
Those bastards in the martial arts hall have been beaten up a lot.
It's been a long time since she met an opponent who could make her second move, Gu Jiao wickedly curled the corner of her lips.
Below is the courtyard of a music hall.
Gu Jiao jumped down.
The sound of silk and bamboo wind music in the music hall concealed the sound of footsteps and breathing of the other party. It is difficult for ordinary people to determine the exact location of the other party, but Gu Jiao is the first organization to accurately identify the sound of footsteps from more than 100 kinds of sounds. A special agent.
When she passed a small cubicle with a curtain down, she suddenly stretched out her hand, dragged a black figure out of the cubicle, and slammed it to the ground!
The man groaned, feeling that his brain was about to dissipate.
What happened to this girl? My skills have improved a lot!
But after all, he is not a vegetarian, he was just careless, and now he will not.
He threw out a packet of medicinal powder and sneaked into the aisle to the side under the cover of the medicinal powder.
There are not many people who have escaped from Gu Jiao's hands over and over again. It seems that he has not recovered to the strength of his previous life.
Gu Jiao chased him all the way and entered a dark basement.
The man seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
strangeness.
Where have people gone
Also, isn't this a music hall
Why is there such a big basement
Storage is still-
While thinking about it, footsteps came from the direction of the entrance, and Gu Jiao flashed behind a large cabinet.
Someone walked in with an oil lamp in hand, and Gu Jiao could see the scene with the dim light of the oil lamp.
There are a total of two rooms here, the one outside is like a place to meet guests, and the position where I am standing now really looks like a storage room.
Two young women came.
One of them held the lamp, and the other lifted the curtain and looked at the storage room, as if it was a routine inspection, but he knew that there would be no one in the storage room, so he did not go deep.
She lowered the curtain and said to the other person, "Light the lamp and serve tea."
"Okay." The man lit the light.
Because the light outside is very bright, it seems that Gu Jiao is very dark here, making it easier for her to hide.
After the two of them had arranged the tea room properly, a woman wearing a light blue curtain and white clothes came in.
The woman's face was covered, but she was tall and graceful, with a pair of slender and delicate jade hands. At first glance, she looked like a daughter raised by a wealthy family.
After she entered the room, she gestured to the two maids, and the two of them withdrew tactfully.
She was the only one left in the huge tea room.
Gu Jiao was hesitating whether she should go out in an open and fair manner, when a man wearing a heavy purple and gold fox fur walked in.
From Gu Jiao's point of view, the man was too tall. His eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth were hidden by the door frame of the storage room, revealing only a delicate chin.
The man sat down opposite the woman.
Now Gu Jiao can't see him at all, the other side of the table is Gu Jiao's blind spot.
The only thing Gu Jiao could see was the woman wearing the curtain.
It's just that there is a curtain cover, and everything about her is looming.
"You're back in Beijing, how is Your Royal Highness?" the woman said.
She couldn't see her expression, but Gu Jiao could hear the respect in her tone.
If this woman's voice was in her previous life, it would be regarded as the sound of heaven.
The man across from him spoke, not in a hurry or slow, but deep and restrained: "She is all right, thank you Your Highness for thinking about it."
These two have a lot of backgrounds.
Meeting in such a place again, I am afraid that the whereabouts cannot be known to outsiders.
Gu Jiao: So are you waiting for her here? All the hard work brought her here, just to let her collide with the two big men, so that she could be silenced by the big men's hands
I just don't know where that guy is hiding at this time.
The woman spoke again: "Princess is well, I can rest assured."
The man said: "His Royal Highness called me out, but something happened?"
The woman sighed and said, "Your Highness sounds strange, you should call me Linlang as you used to."
The man said, "My minister, I dare not."
Gu Jiao thought to herself, saying what she didn't dare to say, but his aura was obviously higher than the sky and wider than the sea.
The woman did not continue to be reluctant, but pushed a burden on the table in front of the man: "Actually, there is nothing else, that is, New Year's Eve is coming, my current status is not convenient to worship him, please help me with these Paper money and incense candles to burn for him."
"Your Highness has a heart." There was no emotion in the man's voice.
The woman looked at him: "Do you blame me?"
Man: "Your Highness is worrying too much."
The woman said sadly: "I am sorry and regretful that I have not been able to call you father as you wished in this life. But in my heart, you are the same as my father, and I even respect you even more."
Man: "Your Highness is serious."
I am most afraid of the sudden embarrassment of the air. The man seems to be not very talkative, and the room becomes quiet without the woman opening her mouth.
Suddenly, the woman lowered her head and coughed a few times.
The man finally took the initiative to speak: "What's wrong with Your Highness?"
The woman shook her head: "It's okay, it's just a little cold."
The man said, "Your Highness, take care of your health."
The woman nodded: "I will."
Gu Jiao could still hear the man's concern for the woman.
"Speaking of the body, I am reminded of one thing." The woman said thoughtfully, "Since His Majesty and the eldest prince returned from their southern tour, they have never set foot in the harem again. I heard that it was on the way to the southern tour that I met a god by chance. The Taoist priest, the Taoist priest taught His Majesty the art of immortality, and asked His Majesty to burn incense and pray every day, not to be near women for two years, and even the Queen Mother has not seen His Majesty for a long time."
Man: "Your Highness means..."
Woman: "I suspect that the Taoist priest was arranged by the First Prince. This southern tour is not easy."
Man: "I see, I will ask someone to investigate the Taoist priest. It's getting late, and if there is nothing else, the minister will retire first."
The man got up and performed the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and the woman returned the courtesy of a junior.
After the man left, the woman sat for a while in the tea room and planned to leave.
However, at this moment, an unexpected thing happened. The roof of the basement cracked with a bang, and the whole board collapsed!
"Princess-"
With the screams of the maid on the ground, the crown princess was buried under the ruins, and Gu Jiao from the storage room was buried with her.
One more watch, eight o'clock.
