Chapter 554: Lord Zhu Xiang
"Go down. Nurse, the child is sleepy, take the child to sleep. Qi Xiaoxian saw Ruan Tao take a look around, and knew his concerns, and cleared the people in the hall.
"I suspect that Chef Liu has something to do with the Peony Sect." Ruan Tao said.
At this time, Qi Xiaoxian's face also became solemn, and he was a little panicked.
After a pillar of incense, the little guy came back with a basket of vegetables.
Ruan Tao instructed him to bring a knife, and then cut open the eggplant - there was indeed a note inside!
"If something happens, do it."
As soon as the words on the note jumped into their eyelids, Ruan Tao and Qi Xiaoxian's faces were difficult to look at.
This is clearly someone who wants to put them, at least Ruan Tao to death!
Qi Xiaoxian immediately sent someone to hunt down the vegetable vendor, Ruan Tao saw that it was getting late, so in order not to make the Liu family suspicious, he could only return to the house temporarily.
That night, Ruan Tao still offered to have dinner with Liu, but for some reason, he was still lucky in his heart, hoping that Chef Liu could want him to confess and tell him that his vegetable basket was robbed.
But until the whole meal was over, Chef Liu didn't mention it.
At the same time, on the road east of the city, a man in black was rushing towards the city. There was a cruel glint in his triangular eyes, where was it still like when he set up a stall to sell vegetables just now! He swiftly walked through a series of red walls and tiles, and finally floated lightly to the lake pavilion in a courtyard, where it seemed that someone had been waiting for him.
"How's it going?" It was a thin-looking old man who spoke. His voice was strange, like a dying duck squeezing out of its throat and calling for help, which made people itch their teeth.
"Back to the incense master, the news has been delivered, but when the subordinates went back, they were chased and killed all the way, and the subordinates went around to the east of the city to ask for tracking and returned to the house."
"Good. The eastern part of the city seems to have been exposed, so don't go there again during this time. This is a reward for you. ”
The wizened old man said, throwing out a bag.
"Thank you, Lord Xiang! Subordinates should go to the soup for this religion and never give up! The man took the bag, checked it, and quickly put it into his arms.
"Then the subordinate will retire!"
"Go! Ruan Fu Liu doesn't want it, find a chance. The old man watched the man in black jump into the water and said lightly.
The old man turned his head and looked at the plaque "Hengtong" on the Huxin Pavilion, with a small word "Zhu" underneath, and suddenly showed mockery in his eyes.
Qi Xiaoxian was sitting in the hall.
Qi Xinfu and Ruan Zhirou had already been carried by the nurse to put them to sleep, Ruan Di was not there, and the home suddenly seemed deserted.
He was usually cold in front of people, so his servants did not approach him. As soon as he sat down in the hall, everyone made an excuse to hide, and Xiao Wan also used the excuse to watch the two children run to Ruan Di's courtyard.
Qi Xiaoxian lowered his eyelids, unable to see the emotions in his eyes clearly. The continuous tapping of the knuckles on the table revealed his anxiety and worry.
The people he sent out just now came back and said that they had not caught the vegetable vendor, but they saw that he had gone to the east of the city.
Qi Xiaoxian suddenly understood a little in his heart - when he was fooled by Li Iris, when he went to the broken temple in the east of the city to ask for peace charms to please Ruan Di, he happened to meet Li Irisa and the Peony Sect colluding, and he touched the melons along the vine and wiped out the Peony Sect.
Now the flood in Dongwu is afraid that it has a lot to do with the Peony Sect.
Thinking of this, Qi Xiaoxian couldn't help but be afraid. Ruan Di was alone in Soochow, and the note just now said "There is an accident", which clearly knew that the imperial court had sent someone to visit and found Ruan Di sooner or later.
I don't know how Ruan Di is doing at this time, whether she has eaten, whether she is hungry and cold.
Qi Xiaoxian thought about this, and was fascinated for a while.
East of Soochow Castle.
"Ahh Ahh Ruan Di was lying behind the clay statue, with a fire burning next to her to keep warm.
Suddenly two sneezes.
"Who's scolding me? It must be Qi Xiaoxian's bastard! ”
Ruan Di muttered quietly.
In order to avoid the limelight in the past few days, she has been hiding in the dilapidated temple in the east of the city. The broken night shows that Yu will come back soon, Ruan Di is afraid that she will miss it when she comes back, so she goes to the city to buy food and returns quickly, and after a few days, Ruan Di has also become a homeless man.
If Qi Xiaoxian saw her like this at this time, he would definitely laugh off his big teeth.
Damn, why did you think of him again!
Ruan Di took a sip and rolled over to get ready for sleep. But he heard a small sound in the forest in the distance, as if someone was running in the forest.
Ruan Di suddenly became alert, and she took out the Peony Sect four-cornered flying knife that she had been hiding in her arms.
The voice was getting louder and louder, it seemed that the person was getting closer and closer, Ruan Di's heart rose to her throat, and even her hand holding the knife trembled slightly.
Ruan Di stood up and hid behind the clay statue, but the voice suddenly disappeared, and a figure flickered and appeared at the door.
"Who's in there!" It's Mingyu's voice!
"Mingyu! It's me! Ruan Di was almost about to cry, seeing that it was Mingyu, her tense nerves for a few days were relaxed, and seeing Mingyu standing at the door looking at herself, Ruan Di couldn't hold back anymore, and rushed to Mingyu's arms and cried.
"Why did Mingyu come back, I'm worried about you!"
"I ...... I'm sorry, ma'am, are you alright? Mingyu had never seen such a Ruan Di, and was a little overwhelmed for a while.
"Madame, have you found any clues these days?" After Ruan Di calmed down after crying, Mingyu asked.
"Three days ago, I infiltrated Zhang's Mansion and pretended to be a little maid cleaning the house. Hearing some news, it seems that Zhang Xianling and his second son** have colluded with the Peony Sect, but the eldest son Zhang Yi is very unaccustomed to these things. I still heard something like 'the great cause of Soochow'......"
Ruan Di briefly told Mingyu how he eavesdropped that day, how he was discovered, and how he was rescued by Broken Night and brought here. raised his eyes to look at Mingyu, but found that the expression on her face was a little complicated.
Ruan Di couldn't describe it at all, but he felt a complicated look of déjà vu.
She pondered for a moment, couldn't think of where she had seen it, and gave up.
"Madam, when I came back, I passed through the city, and when I saw the lights in the city, I asked someone to inquire, and said that it was the Spring Festival of Soochow in two days. It is equivalent to the Spring Festival in our capital, that is, it is later. ”
Mingyu glanced at Ruan Di, her expression had returned to normal, and she continued: "According to the customs of Eastern Wu, the county order should be happy with the people. At that time, the whole Zhangfu would hold a banquet by the river to celebrate the Spring Festival with the people. ”
"We'll ...... then," Ruan Di got up from the ground and rubbed his hands excitedly.
"No, madam, when the time comes, you go to the riverside to keep an eye on them, and I will go to Zhang's Mansion to find out the truth." Mingyu was different this time, she directly rejected Ruan Di's plan.
