2nd Update)
Meng Xia didn't go back to the room, she went directly into the study and continued to look through her account books. Since I came, I just took advantage of the time of the past few days to verify the account books in Cangcheng, and it also saved people from sending the account books back and forth.
"Madam, Hong Xing asks to see you."
Qing Xing came to report.
"Let him in." Meng Xia closed the account book in his hand, looked at Hong Xing who came in in a hurry, and asked, "Hong Xing, it's so late, do you have anything else?" ”
Hong Xing said with an anxious face: "Madam, Haishang is back." ”
"Haishang, what happened to her?" Meng Xia got up, just looking at Hong Xing's expression, he had already guessed that something must have happened to the sea dress that Luancheng had explored.
Hong Xing nodded solemnly, "She came back with a serious injury, and her subordinates have asked Dr. Mu to treat her, and Dr. Mu said that she was only injured and needed to be recuperated for a few days." ”
"Let's go see her."
Qingxing heard that Haishang was injured, and she was already so anxious that she was about to shed tears.
Haishang's martial arts are not low, and there are not many people on the rivers and lakes who can hurt her. Who hurt her, she went to Luancheng to investigate the regent this time, could it be that she was injured by the regent's people?
With doubts, Qingxing accompanied Meng Xia to the sea dress room in a hurry.
Doctor Mu came in with the freshly decocted medicine, and Qingxing asked him anxiously, "Doctor Mu, how is Haisheng's injury?" ”
"Fortunately, it's just a skin injury, just take care of it for a few days."
Hearing the movement, Haishang turned her head to look at the door, and when she saw Meng Xia, she struggled to get up and salute. Meng Xia stepped forward, pressed her insignificant body, and reproached softly, "Begonia, you are like this, why do you still care about those empty things?" ”
Begonia looked guilty, "Madam, Begonia is useless!" Begonia worries Madame. ”
"Don't say that, tell me, who hurt you like this?"
"Begonia didn't know, after Begonia came back, he found that there were suspicious people watching us around, so he wanted to find out what was going on? But the opponent's martial arts are not weak, and Begonia is invincible, so he is injured like this. ”
Begonia lowered her eyes, her expression a little sad and self-reproachful.
The apricot monster screamed, "Someone is spying on us? ”
Meng Xia asked, "Can you see the other party's appearance clearly?" And the other party's martial arts can reveal some clues? ”
Haitang raised his head, looked at Meng Xia, and said: "They are all wearing night clothes, tightly wrapped, Haitang wanted to find clues from the deceased, but they were attacked from behind, and later, they dragged the corpse away." Haitang felt that those people must be from some sect, and they seemed to have undergone strict training. ”
Meng Xia was silent for a while, then reached out and patted Haitang's shoulder, and said, "You take good care of your injuries, there are others with me, don't think too much." ”
"Madam, this is what Liurang Begonia brought back." Haitang took out a booklet wrapped in flower cloth from under the pillow, Meng Xia took it, and put it in the hidden pocket in his sleeve, "You rest!" Listen to Dr. Mu's advice and take good care of your injuries. ”
"Yes, ma'am."
"I'll go back to the study first, Qingxing, you stay and take care of Begonia." Meng Xia got up, and Hong Xing immediately followed.
Outside the door, Meng Xia said to Hong Xing: "Strengthen patrols, let people closely observe the surrounding situation, and if you find suspicious people, you must be captured alive." "Who is so bold as to dare to spy on her?
"Yes, don't worry, ma'am! The subordinates will go down and make arrangements. Hong Xing also left in a hurry.
Meng Xia looked up at the sky, and then walked abruptly in the direction of the study. Outside the study, Qin Baolin stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, looked up at the moon buds hanging in the sky, and seemed to have a slight understanding: "People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny." ”
Give up?
He asked himself, he really couldn't do it.
Hearing the familiar sound of footsteps, he withdrew his gaze and looked up, and the eyes of the two met in the moonlight. Meng Xia looked at the thick sadness in his eyes, couldn't help frowning, stepped forward, and said lightly: "Brother Baolin, let's go into the study and talk." ”
"Okay."
The two entered the study, and Meng Xia pulled out the charcoal in the stove with iron tongs, and the charcoal fire was soon lit. Meng Xia added tea leaves to the teacup and sat down, waiting for the water on the stove to boil while chatting with Qin Baolin.
"Brother Paulin, is everything okay at home?"
"If you want to know, why don't you go back and have a look?" Qin Baolin didn't answer directly, but looked at Meng Xia and said very seriously: "Meng Xia, in the past few years, you have been running around outside, Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng have been talking about me once they see me, you should also go home and have a look." ”
"When the poison in Chenxi's body is resolved, I will go back to Leting immediately."
She is indeed unfilial, she has been gone for four years, and rarely goes home.
Qin Baolin secretly mustered up his courage and said, "Meng Xia, I know that you are going to Luancheng, and you are going to the Regent's Mansion to get the Continuation Incense Pill, but have you ever thought about what if this is just a miscommunication?" ”
Meng Xia looked at him straightly, hooked his lips and smiled, "You also said that it was if, so what if it was true?" ”
With a rhetorical question, Qin Baolin was speechless.
"Brother Pauling, I have already decided on this matter, whether it is true or not, I must go. You don't need to persuade me, you also know that for the sake of the morning light, I can do anything, and I am not afraid of anything. ”
Oh, yes! She is not afraid of anything.
Qin Baolin secretly laughed at himself, isn't it because she is not afraid of anything and can do anything, so he is so useless by her side?
It seems that he can't persuade her.
Qin Baolin raised his eyes and looked at her, "How could I not know your personality, and who can persuade you to decide what you decide?" Since you're going, then I have a request. ”
"Brother Pauling, we are brother and sister, if you have something, just say it, what is there to ask for?" The water in the copper kettle on the stove was boiling, Meng Xia lifted it down, washed the tea leaves, brewed new tea, and pushed it in front of Qin Baolin.
"Brother Paulin, drink tea!"
Qin Baolin took the tea, blew it gently, brushed off the floating leaves on the tea soup, took a sip, and put it on the table.
Sibling? He didn't want their relationship to be brother and sister at all.
"I want to accompany you and Chenxi to Luancheng, when I left Leting, Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng repeatedly told me to take care of your mother and son." Qin Baolin did not hesitate to carry out the Meng couple.
Meng Xia looked at him with some embarrassment, and said euphemistically, "Brother Baolin, don't you have something to do?" ”
"I've already dealt with it here in Cangcheng, just right, I still have a batch of paint to send to Luancheng." Qin Baolin naturally responded.
"But isn't the escort paint always guarded by my dart board?"
"This time I'm going to meet a big client, so I'm going to escort it personally."
Meng Xia thought of the business of Mu Wangfu, so he asked: "Brother Baolin, I just took over the business of Mu Wangfu, they want to build another courtyard, do you want to transfer some goods to Luancheng?" ”
"Enough. If it's not enough, I'll transfer it from Cangcheng, and I've just stocked up on the goods here. ”
Meng Xia nodded, picked up the teacup, and took a few sips of tea to moisten his throat, "Brother Baolin, it's not too early, otherwise, you can go back to your room and rest first." Since you are also going to Luancheng together, then we have time to talk. ”
"Good! Don't be too late. ”
Qin Baolin got up, but he didn't leave, as if he was hesitating about something.
Meng Xia asked, "Brother Baolin, do you have anything else to say to me?" ”
"I... Meng Xia, that one ...... him"
"Who?" Meng Xia had never seen Qin Baolin like this, "Brother Baolin, who are you going to talk about?" ”
Qin Baolin shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay!" Let's talk about it later, it's not an important matter. ”
Meng Xia didn't believe it, it wasn't important, but if Qin Baolin didn't say it, she naturally wouldn't ask, "That's okay!" It's not too late for us to talk in the future, then, I won't send Brother Paulin. ”
"No need to send it, I still know the way back to the guest room from here." Qin Baolin joked.
Meng Xia smiled and sent him out of the room, turned around and took out the booklet wrapped in a flower cloth from his sleeve, and sat down in front of the desk.
She opened the flower cloth, and a blue booklet appeared in front of her, and when Meng Xia looked at the three words on the cover, she couldn't help but immediately flip through it. But when she turned the first page and only read the first line, she froze.
The regent of the Great Jin Dynasty, his name is Shen Wang, and his name is Ei'an.
Shen Wang?
A tall and mighty man with excellent facial features immediately appeared in Meng Xia's mind, with a simple smile on the corner of his mouth. Meng Xia didn't even know herself, why could she still remember this face so clearly in her mind?
How is this possible? A man who is honest and loves to laugh, how can he be the same person as the legendary cold-blooded and ruthless man with fierce methods?
No! That's impossible!
It must be the same name and surname.
