Rushing to the yard, Wen Qingzhu saw at a glance that Beidou was holding down a soldier.
At the entrance of the courtyard, there were still several soldiers holding knives. The leader, a man holding a knife in his hand, looked at him in shock and fear.
"What's going on?" Wen Qingzhu walked over quickly and asked in a loud voice.
Everyone over there looked over one after another, and the leader revealed her identity: "Master Xiaoshui!"
Wen Qingzhu looked at these people calmly. She didn't recognize them at all.
Soon the man ordered: "Stand back! Put away your weapons!"
Under his command, everyone put away their weapons and retreated, except for the man held by Beidou.
Wen Qingzhu naturally followed the good advice: "Xiao Bei!"
Beidou immediately let go, took two steps back, stood in front of Wen Qingzhu, and stared at the visitor warily.
Seeing that the scene had relaxed, Wen Qingzhu took two steps forward and asked politely: "Who are you, sir?"
The leader quickly raised his hand: "My lord, I'm serious, I'm just a guard captain of the Corpse Mansion. Just call me He Lai!"
Congratulations!
Is this a first name or a last name
Wen Qingzhu didn't ask. He looked at the visitor quietly for a few times before nodding: "Captain He Lai."
Seeing that Wen Qingzhu's attitude was good, He Lai breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "We came here to knock on the door just now, but no one responded, so we wanted to push the door open, but we were not pushed open, and we felt that someone was behind us. , I shouted several times in succession, but no one answered, but the door was obviously blocked, so I thought something had happened to you, so I had no choice but to break in, but I didn’t expect Xiaobei to misunderstand."
After explaining this, Wen Qingzhu understood everything and looked at Beidou and explained: "I'm really sorry, Xiaobei can't speak. I had something to do just now and told him not to let anyone in, so this misunderstanding happened."
"Misunderstanding! It turns out it was all a misunderstanding! Let me apologize to you first!" He Lai immediately bowed his head and apologized.
Wen Qingzhu didn't dare to trust him. It was obvious that He Lai was a person whom Shi Zhu trusted very much.
After confirming that he was not hostile, Wen Qingzhu invited He Lai into the house to chat.
He Lai quickly thanked him, very politely, and at the same time left the person outside.
Seeing him acting like this, Wen Qingzhu knew that He Lai was a very measured person.
After entering the room, He Lai waited for Wen Qingzhu to sit down before sitting down himself.
When Feitian brought tea, He Lai even poured tea for Wen Qingzhu himself.
Wen Qingzhu stood up and wanted to straighten up, but He Lai shook his head and said: "You are welcome, sir. Not to mention that I am lower than you in terms of status. I came here today to ask for help from you, so this cup of milk tea belongs to me." Come and pour."
After pouring the tea, He Lai sat down.
Wen Qingzhu took a symbolic sip, looked up at him and asked, "Captain He Lai is here, but what's the matter?"
He quickly put down the milk tea in his hand and said with a smile: "I don't want to hide it from you, Sir. On the way here just now, I saw Lord Zuolan. Is he sent here by Lord Qiulin?"
Hearing him ask this, Wen Qingzhu just smiled and said nothing.
She has only been in Tianying City for a short time. Does He Lai not know who Zuolan belongs to
Seeing that she remained silent, He Lai knew that Wen Qingzhu was not a simple person, so he quickly opened the skylight and spoke frankly: "It seems that Lord Xiaoshui doesn't know everything, so I won't be timid and say it directly. Forget it, Mr. Zizhu personally ordered me to help Mr. Xiaoshui solve this serial poisoning case in Tianying City."
At this point, Wen Qingzhu became serious.
The attitude and logic of this He Lai's speech are completely different from the one in the left column just now.
Unlike the left column just now, He Lai proposed directly from the beginning and was willing to do his best to help her.
In the left column, you need to go back and report to Qiu Lin.
Logically speaking, Wen Qingzhu should choose Xi Zhu from He Lai's side, but for some reason, Wen Qingzhu always felt that there must be something else she didn't know about as they came forward and backward this time.
The left column didn't want to talk about it before, so Wen Qingzhu went to He Lai and asked: "How should I say it? Captain He Lai is a very reassuring person, so I won't beat around the bush and just ask you directly. I just came to Tianying Not long after we got to the river, and it was only the first day after entering the city, the two big guys came over in front of me, which really flattered me, and I was thinking in my heart, is there something that caused the second prince to misunderstand the two adults? "
As soon as these words came out, He Lai immediately fell silent, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.
Seeing his reaction, Wen Qingzhu knew that she was right again this time.
She was not in a hurry and started drinking milk tea with a tea bowl.
Perhaps to take care of her, the milk tea delivered here is very light, sweet but not greasy, and yet has a mellow feel.
After slowly drinking half a bowl, He Lai realized that he couldn't sit down, so he stood up and said bluntly: "I am very sincere when I come here on behalf of Master Zizhu this time. Your concern is correct, but it's just about this matter It’s no longer within the scope of my decision, so I want to go back and ask Master Xi Zhu.”
"Of course there is no problem." Wen Qingzhu put down the tea bowl and nodded.
He Lai looked at her and said, "Then, can you please listen to our conditions before making a decision?"
Wen Qingzhu frowned slightly: "Captain He Lai, I know you are thinking about Master Zizhu, but I said at the beginning that I will not seek refuge with anyone. I just came here to seek cooperation, and the second prince is the one I want to cooperate with." , if there is anything else, I can only help you without damaging my own interests."
He Lai took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said thanks: "I understand, thank you for letting me know, I will be back soon."
He stood up and looked at Wen Qingzhu, his thick eyebrows and big eyes curved, giving people the warmth of the winter sun: "Although I shouldn't say this, I still want to say that Lord Xi Zhu is someone who thinks about the Xiongnu. Dedicated to the Xiongnu royal family, he will never do anything bad to the Xiongnu royal family, especially the descendants of the royal family."
Wen Qingzhu curled his lips and stood up to see her off, without saying anything the whole time.
Before leaving, He Lai couldn't help but look back at Wen Qingzhu and saw that there was always a faint smile on her face.
It was impossible to see clearly, let alone detect her inner thoughts.
At this moment, He Lai clearly realized that this mysterious Lord Xiaoshui was beyond simple description.
Lord Corpse Chaser may have miscalculated this time.
He Lai turned around and left. Someone from the inn outside closed the door.
Wen Qingzhu went into the house, choosing a house very close to the yard this time, and did not close the door at the same time.
She also told everyone what He Lai said just now.
Zuo Bingning spoke again this time: "He Lai is actually a very good person. He stayed with Zizhu as a guard captain, but he was actually buried."
"Did you see this, or did Lu Ce say it?" Wen Qingzhu asked subconsciously.
Zuo Bingning's face was slightly embarrassed. She avoided Wen Qingzhu's eyes and whispered: "I just thought He Lai was very powerful before. It was Lu Ce who said he was buried by corpses."
"You don't have to be ashamed. Your ability to read people is not your specialty. Lu Ce just has a good eye." Wen Qingzhu consoled him with a smile.
Zuo Binning did feel more comfortable, but she still felt that Wen Qingzhu was coaxing her.
At this point, Zuo Bingning finally asked her doubts: "I feel like you are very good to me, take good care of me and accommodate me. Is this... why?"
"Because someone like you is the person I want to be the most." Wen Qingzhu looked at Zuo Bingning. Her eyes were always clear and without any impurities.
She used to be like this, but later...
Zuo Bingning was even more confused: "A person like me? Not very good..."
In fact, in her heart, Zuo Bingning decided that she was the best.
But looking at Wen Qingzhu in front of her, she suddenly lost any confidence.
Who do you think a person like me is
"You're fine." Wen Qingzhu could see what Zuo Binning was thinking, but he didn't explain it in depth.
Lu Ce is the same person as her, so Wen Qingzhu is sure that Lu Ce will like Zuo Binning in the end.
Such a dazzling woman like the sun, radiating light and heat at all times, how can people not like her
Now that this matter was over, Wen Qingzhu turned to Feitian and asked, "What do you think?"
After being silent for a long time, Feitian only said: "I'll go out and investigate."
Wen Qingzhu was startled. This was indeed her original thought.
So he nodded.
Feitian turned around and gave Gan Song a few words, then turned around and left alone.
As soon as he left, Wen Qingzhu got up and went inside.
But Gan Song, who had been silent all this time, called out to her: "Wait!"
Wen Qingzhu and Zuo Binning turned back almost at the same time.
Gan Song hurriedly explained: "I know I don't know Xiongnu and shouldn't speak at this time, but I think it's not right for you to waste your time like this."
"How do you say that?" Wen Qingzhu was a little curious.
Gan Song looked outside and said: "My lord also said just now that you are looking for cooperation with the second prince. Qiulin and Zizhu have come to you. It must be that they need you. And what they said just now will also It means that Qiulin and Zhi Zhu are rivals. Since they both came to you, why would you choose only one of them instead of both of them?"
Wen Qingzhu thought for a while: "Do you mean to be a two-faced person?"
"That's right! Only in this way can you maximize your interests and understand the truth more comprehensively. You can also-"
Before Gan Song finished speaking, Wen Qingzhu immediately interrupted her: "I know what you mean, but this is not Daqi, nor is it your martial arts world. It is the Huns who will kill people with swords if they disagree with each other."
Gan Song was a little unwilling to be interrupted suddenly.
Looking into Wen Qingzhu's eyes, she did not dare to say anything more.
Wen Qingzhu ordered again: "Tudan likes you quite a lot. In that case, you can take care of Tudan at home. I will naturally do what I promised you. Don't think too much about other things. You can think of it." I can naturally think of things."
After saying these words, Wen Qingzhu turned around and took Zuo Bingning out.
After leaving here, Zuo Bingning glanced behind her and asked in a low voice: "You seem to dislike nard very much?"
"Well, she wants too much, but her abilities are not enough. This is a fatal flaw." Wen Qingzhu spoke directly about Gan Song's problem without any hesitation.
Zuo Bingning was a little confused, but Wen Qingzhu reminded her: "We are going out, so don't reveal your secret."
At this time, Zuo Bingning quickly disguised herself, lowered her head and followed Wen Qingzhu out.
