Chapter 842: An Unexpected Deal
On the second day, everyone was vigilant, and the team was safe and sound, and there was no danger. On the third day, Joan and the others went to the hotel, which was a large inn, and there were more business trips to and fro, and everyone was chatting happily in the hall.
Some people in the rivers and lakes talked about Shen Qiaoan and Li Zhongxuan, "The emperor and queen are really powerful figures, both of them are ordinary births, one has been unknown in the market for many years, and the other is just a young general, and he is also unknown, but the two of them are really extraordinary." ”
"Among the emperors and queens of the past dynasties in Zhongjing, they are second to none, the queen and the queen of Dugu back then, but in a flash in the pan, Shen Qiaoan is completely different."
"Yes, yes."
Everyone chatted babblingly, Qiao An observed the demeanor of this group of people for a while, and observed Li Zhongxuan's demeanor for a while.
He noticed that Li Zhongxuan was laughing, as if someone else was showing off the brocade flowers that belonged to him, Qiao An bumped Li Zhongxuan with his elbow, "Huang Gongzi, you listen." ”
"I hear you." When you go out, you always have to have an extra heart, called "the emperor", which is far less arbitrary than "Huang Gongzi".
"Are you really that good?" Qiao An had already heard of the power of the queen mother, "If she is really so unparalleled in the world, how can she be killed by someone for some reason?" ”
"I think," Li Zhongxuan's eyes were very determined, and fell on Qiao An's face: "The queen is fine, and she is not dead." ”
"Then let's move the grave?"
"It may be a well-dressed mound, someone is suspicious, and my purpose is to decipher it." Li Zhongxuan said this, but his hand unconsciously held Qiao An's hand, and the gentle palm fell on the back of Qiao An's hand, which frightened Shen Qiaoan.
At night, Qiao An couldn't sleep, she couldn't sleep over and over, she thought a lot about Qiao An and Li Zhongxuan.
Are those legendary things true or false, and there are more apocryphal elements, or are people hearsay that have distorted the truth? In fact, how can there be such a tacit partner, and how can there be so many things in a dynasty?
At this moment, someone knocked on the door, Qiao An knew that it was Li Zhongxuan when he thought about it, and went to open the door with a smile, but saw that it was an unknown person who walked in.
"What?"
"The girl came from afar, and she was dusty, why don't you have a drink with me? First, it can dispel sorrow and relieve boredom, and second, ......" The thin man's snake-like hand had been placed on Shen Qiao'an's shoulder, and he narrowed a pair of strange eyes, "Second, it must be good to know one more person." ”
"It seems to be the same, Son, please come in and speak."
Shen Qiaoan invited the boy to come in, and after the man walked in, he smiled: "The cool breeze has a letter, the autumn moon is boundless, the girl is bored alone, let the boy and the girl have fun." ”
"Isn't that what you say? It's better to be alone than to be happy. Got up and pressed closer to the disciple of Nadeng, the man laughed heartily, and he couldn't imagine that Shen Qiaoan was actually a person with two water-based poplars.
As can be imagined, she was pointed out by Qiao An, wrapped in a quilt, and left on the cloud couch alone to enjoy the so-called "cool breeze with letters, boundless autumn moon".
Joan was a little thirsty and went outside to find water to drink, but suddenly heard the shopkeeper talking to someone.
"The first and second rooms of Tianzi are all theirs, and the horse team is still outside, so you have to move faster."
Shen Qiaoan instinctively felt strange, this was obviously someone who was trying to calculate them, Qiao An came back after drinking water, and saw a person in the corridor, the wicked man swayed and swayed, and finally sneakily approached Li Zhongxuan's house.
Li Zhongxuan's house is the first room in Tianzihao, and next to it is Qiao An's house, and the two are just separated by a wall.
At this moment, the man was holding a bamboo tube and blowing rosemary into it, and Joan smiled when he saw this, and approached the man quietly.
She patted the man on the left shoulder, and the man hurriedly turned back, but Joan dodged to the man's right, and the man looked to the right, and Joan crouched behind him.
Originally, in the dark, the man couldn't see Joan, and he thought he was hallucinating, but he knew that just now, Joan blew a cool breeze, and a stream of rosemary entered the man's nostrils and throat.
The man coughed and fell to the ground and convulsed, Qiao An smiled and knocked on Li Zhongxuan's door.
Li Zhongxuan slept better tonight, first, the guards were guarding not far away, and he believed in the guards' ability, second, this inn was a century-old shop, and it was expected that there would be no such thing as flies and dogs.
It was only a short moment before he was stunned.
So much so that people blew rosemary, which made Li Zhongxuan inhale a lot. Qiao An had already entered the house, he saw that Li Zhongxuan was sleeping lifelessly, shook a little, didn't see Li Zhongxuan get up, dragged Li Zhongxuan up, and pushed Li Zhongxuan out of the window.
At this moment, Qiao An threw the poisoned man on the soft bed, and then took Li Zhongxuan to hide behind the vase behind the corridor.
A quarter of an hour later, someone entered the house.
In an instant, someone packed the two of them in a sack and took them away. The house was darkly lit, and it was naturally impossible for them to verify their identity.
Qiao An wanted to go out with him to see what was going on, but as soon as he took a step, Li Zhongxuan's body had been pressed heavily.
"Yikes!"
Qiao An was completely pressed to the ground and pushed hard, but Li Zhongxuan didn't move, itching, and Li Zhongxuan didn't realize it.
finally struggled, Qiao An saw Li Zhongxuan's groggy appearance, so he could only help Li Zhongxuan downstairs, and after going down the stairs, Qiao An hid Li Zhongxuan in a carriage.
Then he followed the two men who were carrying the sacks, who left them in the carriage and drove off into the distance.
Joan jumped up, and the people were already sitting on the roof of the carriage, and in the middle of the night, they were thieves again, who knew that there was a weak girl in the carriage.
After a while, the carriage stopped at the side of the road, which was far, far from the inn, and when the carriage had stopped, the two of them threw out a sack.
It turned out that a group of people had been waiting here.
"This is Li Zhongxuan?" Someone asked.
The people nodded again and again, the man snorted coldly, his expression seemed to be very contemptuous and resentful, and then a few five big and three thick people appeared behind him, everyone held weapons in their hands, and opened their bows left and right at the sack, directly beating the people in the sack miserably.
Then they threw the man into the backwater.
Then the men in black carried another sack to a carriage, and out of the carriage came a frail man, so far away that Joan could not see who the man was.
But as soon as he spoke, Qiao An immediately understood, Qing Gongzi.
"Childe, Joan has arrived." At this moment, Qing Gongzi hurriedly untied the rope, and then everyone screamed, except for Shen Qiaoan herself, the rest of the people didn't know how she was out of her shell and how Li Daitao stiffened.
How could there be such a thing as stealing beams and changing pillars?
"Go investigate as soon as possible, An'er is still in the inn, go quickly." Qing Gongzi stomped his feet sharply, and several people scattered, Qiao An smiled in the dark, got on the roof of the carriage, and went to the inn before.
But after arriving, Sheng Qiaoan was shocked, just now she threw Li Zhongxuan in an empty carriage, she thought that Li Zhongxuan was still there, but at this moment, let alone people, even the carriage was gone.
"What should I do, what should I do?" In the middle of the night, how did Joan know where the carriage went? The east, west, north and south roads are long, and Joan squatted on the ground looking for traces of ruts, but unfortunately there were rut marks on the roads in all directions, so he didn't know what direction to choose.
Joan searched for a while, and then she saw a pair of feet, which were a pair of girl's feet in red embroidered shoes, with exquisite embroidery on the uppers, but strangely, they were embroidered with two vivid owls.
Joan felt bad, and before she could escape, she felt a chill seep into her neck, and a long sword had fallen on her neck.
"Ha, I haven't seen you for many days, and you are still graceful at sunset." Joan naturally knew that it was sunset, but she didn't know why the sunset was here.
"Looking for what?" Rakuji's voice was calm, like a wind blowing in the quiet of the night.
"Didn't look for it," Qiao An still had to lie, and suddenly felt that the long sword had been attached to the skin on the left side of her neck, and the cold cold made her shudder, Qiao An knew that Sunset was a killer, she was not joking, and hurriedly said: "Looking for Li Zhongxuan." ”
"He's gone?" Sunset's voice trembled, the same woman, Joan could feel Sunset's nervousness.
Shen Qiaoan told what had just happened, and after hearing it, Sunset said angrily: "There are roads in the north and south of the east and west, and there are so many carriages, how can you casually throw him on the carriage?" ”
"You killed me before, why don't you think about it together?" Joan boldly tapped Sunset's longsword, and Sunset put it away.
"Let's go to the east, there are the most people here, and I expect that nine out of ten of these people who live in the hotel will go to Zhongjing to do business."
Joan and Sunset have a disagreement, she wants to look in the opposite direction, but Sunset is firmly opposed, and Joan can only follow Sunset.
Li Zhongxuan gradually woke up on the bumpy carriage, and it was dark in front of him, but the carriage was galloping, and the speed was not slow.
Li Zhongxuan wanted to get up, but found that he was groggy, his hands and feet were weak, he must have poisoned himself, he didn't know when the carriage would stop, he didn't know where his destination was.
In the second half of the night, the carriage arrived outside a house, and then Li Zhongxuan heard someone approaching him, and the man smiled: "Oh, it's still a cousin with fine skin and tender meat, this white fox has a really good face, and it's sold for fifty taels." ”
"One hundred taels, mother." The man who urged the horse bargained with the old bustard, and the two finally sold for sixty taels, and Li Zhongxuan never dreamed that he would be sold to the Qinglou.
In a state of confusion, he was taken to a clean and tidy room, with a wooden barrel in the inner room, and fragrant flowers in the barrel.
Someone waited for Li Zhongxuan to bathe, and then changed him into a new clothes.
Li Zhongxuan had just arrived here, his spirit was not very good, and he didn't know how to do it at the moment, he was even more uncomfortable than just now, his chest was tight and short of breath, and he gradually fell into a dream.
On the second day, Li Zhongxuan opened his eyes and saw the old bustard, and the woman didn't know how long she had been staring at him here.
"Are you awake?" The old bustard's hand fell on Li Zhongxuan's chest.
"What do you do?" He struggled and sat up straight. But soon Li Zhongxuan found that his true power did not exist, and his internal strength had been dispersed, like a mud cow entering the sea.
He was terrified, it turned out that this old bustard was making a big fuss in the incense every time he got a good chick in order to better train Li Zhongxuan, so that at this moment Li Zhongxuan was unsettled and exhausted.
"Hands! Don't move. ”
Li Zhongxuan had already felt that the commotion of his hands was about to tease him, and warned him with his eyes.
