Chapter 227 Two phoenixes on the first floor
The late spring sun shines on the body warmly, and many smooth pebbles are exposed on the shore of the gurgling stream, reflecting the dazzling brilliance of the sun.
The grass is lush, the fish leaping and the insects are singing, and the natural scenery in the suburbs is always so refreshing and pleasant.
Qin Mubai wore a straw hat, sat lazily half lying on the beach of an empty mine, holding a knee with a fishing rod, shaking his feet, and fishing quite leisurely. Chen Yan set up a small stove with earthen bricks behind him. The fire is booming, with a small casserole on it, which is boiling fresh spring tea, which is fragrant and pleasant.
"Mu Bai, shouldn't you be very busy recently? Why are you still interested in lying here fishing?" Chen Yan asked while fanning the fire with a small fan.
"So you mean, I should be so anxious?" Qin Mubai simply lay down, holding the fishing rod with his legs, and lying on the soft grass with his hands behind his head. Smelling the fragrant smell of earth, I closed my eyes and enjoyed it comfortably.
"I know that although you are leisurely on the surface at this moment, you are not calm at all. Look at you, the fish hook you just dropped, and there is no string of bait on it. Do you think you are Mrs. Jiang, and you can also catch fish?" Chen Yan smiled.
"Uh... you found it." Qin Mubai smiled, opened his eyes and looked at the white clouds in the Weilan sky. He said, "It's a very empty mine here. The air is very good, and the environment is very comfortable, which makes my mind very relaxed and my brain clearer. More importantly, everything in such an empty mine is clear at a glance. I don't have to worry about the wall and being eavesdropped by others.
Chen Yan smiled, shook her head and said, "With me, you can rest assured!" When it comes to latent eavesdropping, few people are more proficient than me. I said that there is no ear in the wall, so there must be no one.
"It's not that I don't believe you. I just want to release my heart." Qin Mubai took a breath and said, "From the time I stepped on the ground of Xiangzhou, I felt like I had got into a trap. Especially recently, I feel thousands of pairs of eyes staring at me every moment. No matter what I say or do, the other party can always be unpredictable. They even know the agreement between me and Wu Mei Niang, my relationship with you, and my family. I've been thinking, what else they don't know?"
"The enemy is dark and we are open, that's it." Chen Yan said, "I understand your mood. Enemies in the dark are the most difficult to defend. You know nothing about them, but you are completely exposed to them, as if there is no secret.
"Yan, I'm actually reflecting on whether I was too conceited and underestimated the enemy before." Qin Mubai said, "I always think I'm the smartest, and I'm holding all the wisdom beads. In fact, all my abacus and strategies are under the control of the other party. It's really stupid to think about it now. I'm like a clown, staged a farce in front of them. Everyone knows that I'm deceiving myself, but I feel good alone.
"Don't be so pessimistic. It's just a temporary loss. At least I believe you will win in the end." Chen Yan said.
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Thank you, Yan. In fact, after fishing here for a long time, I feel much more relaxed and have thought about many problems that I have ignored before.
"What's the problem?" Chen Yan asked.
"That's right, I underestimate people and trust people too much." Qin Mubai said, "especially the people around me, those who I regard them as good brothers, I never thought that they might betray me."
"What?" Chen Yan was slightly shocked, "You mean that there are inside thieves among the hundred riders?"
"Isn't it?" Qin Mubai gently picked the corners of his mouth and smiled coldly, "Their inadvertent little flaw made me figured out this problem."
"What flaw?"
"It's about Wu Mei Niang's business." Qin Mubai frowned and said, "I have only discussed with Wu Mei Niang in private. If there is a suitable pavement in Xiangzhou, she can consider Xiangzhou to open a Qinxian Pavilion. Even my family doesn't know about this. Only once, I mentioned it in my letter. Coincidentally, the other party actually knew it.
"Do you mean that it may be the Baiqi who sent the letter for you, the traitor?" Chen Yan said, "It's also possible that the other party intercepted your letter in the post station?"
"Of course, it's more than that." Qin Mubai said, "Li Ke and I went first, and Weifu went to Xiangzhou first. This is a top secret. But as soon as we arrived in Xiangzhou, we got off the boat at Baguidu, and there was a good play immediately. The water ghosts in the West River Trough openly robbed the official food. Their purpose is nothing more than to test our attitude. However, they are so accurate about our whereabouts. It's really amazing. At that time, except for Yin Yang, Yuwen Hongtai and Xue Rengui, there were only a few hundred riders left beside me and Li Ke. The spy is one of them.
"Later, I sent two people to protect Zheng Anshun. Then the plan we arranged with Zheng Anshun was immediately detected by the other party, and Zheng Anshun was also abated.
"Thinking this way, the other party may not be too powerful. Everything can be unpredictable, just like a god looking up three feet staring at us. I thought about it carefully and thought about who the spy was. That is - the Baiqi who not only sent me a letter, but also accompanied us to the micro-service first, and was sent by me to protect Zheng Anshun. He was present on three things, and he was the only one. His name is Zhang Tong, a native of Chang'an, and he is also a descendant of a famous family. I know all these brothers who came with me, but I only ignored that he remarried with his mother. His biological father, surnamed Wei! Originally, he should also be surnamed Wei! It's just that I was forced to change my stepfather's surname when I was young.
"What do you mean?" Chen Yan asked puzzledly.
"That is to say, he and one of the most important suspects in this case, Sima Wei Haochen of the Assassin House, are relatives and may also be close relatives!" Qin Mubai frowned and said with a long breath, "I ignored it! Perhaps, when we left Chang'an, Zhang Tong had been contacted by Wei Haochen and became the eyeliner lurking around me. Therefore, he is always intentional or unintentional, and he is very active and willing to travel with me, so that he can always be by my side to detect all my movements. My trust in Baiqi is beyond everything. I never thought that among these brothers who came from Chang'an with me, there would be a traitor. I'm so naive that I even made such a big mistake.
"It's not too late to mend." Chen Yan said, "Since you know that Zhang Tong is a traitor, you can take advantage of him."
"Smart." Qin Mubai snapped his fingers and praised, "Yan, you really deserve to be an old man, haha! Today, I haven't been fishing for nothing, and I've almost thought of a perfect plan in my mind. In addition, I also found two other people I have never doubted before, but they are the most doubtful. This wisdom fight is going to become more and more wonderful. I'm really looking forward to it!"
Chen Yan shook her head with a smile and said, "You are really a weirdo. Everyone wants to live a peaceful life, but you like to fight with people."
"Men, it's actually quite interesting to fight when you meet your opponent's talent, racking your brains or trying your best." Qin Mubai grinned and said, "I found that my opponent is the mysterious Song Caozhu, and a few brushes, which are quite powerful. I am determined to fight with him. One day, I will slap him a few times with my own clothes and make him admit defeat.
"Then you think of who is Song Caozhu?" Chen Yan asked.
"It's not completely confirmed yet." Qin Mubai put a green grass in his mouth, as if talking to himself, "Sima Wei Haochen of the Assassin's Office, Du Chengyuan, Du Chengyuan, the boss of Zhengchang Grain, Duan Rongji, Ouyang Jun, the owner of Yongye Salt Square, or the people I haven't seen, or the people around me, are all possible."
"Does't what you said mean you didn't say it!" Chen Yan smiled.
Qin Mubai deliberately slapped his face: "Why do you inquire so clearly? Are you also the traitor of the water ghost ambushed beside me? Or, are you the Lord Song?
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm the witch sent by Song Cao to seduce you!" Chen Yan laughed and scolded angrily and said, "I just think that if you can't find out who Song Caozhu is at the moment, I can help you."
"You?"
"Of course."
"How to help?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little excited and surprised.
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten that I can also be a top assassin!" They can send people to follow you, and you can also send assassins to keep an eye on them! Didn't you say that Zhang Tong was a traitor? I'll help you keep an eye on him. It's not difficult to find their mastermind.
"No need. Even if you find out, you don't know who. Qin Mubai said, "And this is too dangerous. I don't allow you to do such a dangerous thing.
Chen Yan was slightly stunned and nodded with a smile: "All right."
The confident smile familiar to Chen Yan appeared on Qin Mubai's face and said, "Before dawn, it was always the darkest. Although everything is hidden in the fog now, as long as it is broken with one click, other doubts can be solved. I decided to hide here for three days, not to show my head or face, and also spread fog with them, making them anxious. At this time, the competition is patience. They calculated that I was worried about the safety of the princess and others and was eager to compromise with them, so I didn't be obedient. As long as they disrupt their deployment, if they are in a hurry, they will be full of flaws. At that time, my opportunity will come."
"Yes, yes, take your time, General Qin. I'll go back to the small building to get some seasonings and prepare the grilled fish. After saying that, Chen Yan got up and walked to the small building.
Qin Mubai smiled and said secretly: The more nervous I am, the more I have to calm down. Sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai is far better than being led by them. I have been missing for three days, and the military mansion, the assassin's mansion and the water ghosts are in a hurry to get angry. I just took this time to figure out some un figured out some problems. By the way... It's not bad to enjoy the wonderful two-person world with Chen Yan!
Chen Yan returned to the small building and stood in front of the door. Looking around warily, he couldn't help showing a sneer. Pushing the door in, she turned around and closed the door. First, she went to the kitchen to have a look. She casually threw all the oil and salt ingredients into the stream outside the window, poured the water in the water tank clean, and then returned to the main hall. She put her elbows in her hands and said coldly, "Come out, hide your head and show your tail, Xiao Xiao Xingz!"
"Yo, girl, you are really an old man!" A string of frivolous women's laughter came from above her head. The flower lady fell from the beams, clapped her hands and stood in front of Chen Yan.
"I didn't go to you, but I sent you to death!" Chen Yan's eyes were cold, and her face was full of solemnity.
"Don't be angry. Can't you speak slowly if you have something to say?" The flower lady still smiled, twisted out the curve in one hand and looked at Chen Yan, and said, "It's better to be young. No wonder the little man is so mini!"
"Stop talking nonsense. If you come to die, I will complete you immediately; if you have something to say, say it immediately." Chen Yan said coldly.
"No, don't do it. I know I can't beat you." The flower lady stepped back two steps and said nervously and frightenedly, "You found out even a little ecscination I gave you so quickly. It seems that I underestimate you too much. Tell me, where are you?"
"It's none of your business. All I know is that if you hurt my man, I will definitely kill you!" Chen Yan said.
"Are you a man? Yo, if you dare to do it, you will be private for the rest of your life. Do you also have true feelings for him?" The flower lady shook her head disdainfully and said, "There is no need to tell lies in front of real people. We are all women walking around the world. Who are not the dew couple? It's enough to make a scene. Why take it seriously? He is such a famous man, how can he really want you to have fun! Well, when you're tired of playing, lend it to my sister for a few days. If we don't fight or don't know each other, let's be a friend. It's okay to get married with Jinlan. In the future, we two sisters will also have a care.
"B bitch, die!" Chen Yandou pulled out and moved, the cold light flashed, and a sword came out of its sheath and hung it on the flower lady's neck.
"How fast!" The flower lady was suddenly a little scared and stared at Chen Yan with wide eyes. "There are really not many people who can use the sword so fast. Who are you?"
Chen Yan's eyes were cold, and her wrists trembled with a little dark force. The sharp tip of the sword had already cut some of the skin and flesh between the flower lady's neck, and the blood overflowed.
"Stop, stop! Be merciful and have something to say!" The flower lady was really panicked and shouted repeatedly.
"I asked you to answer. Good answer, spare your life; if it's not true, I won't kill you. I will scratch your skin that confuses men like a cat!" Chen Yan snorted coldly.
"Girl, you are so poisonous, more poisonous than me. Why don't you call it Mrs. Yao Xie in the future..." The flower lady smiled bitterly. "My sister is really down today. I don't think you really die for that little man and help the people in the government to harm their peers, and even ignore the rules of the world!"
"You scum, everyone has to be killed. Killing you like a dog. What's the bad rule?" Chen Yan sneered, "Now I'm going to start asking. Listen to me clearly. The first question - who is Song Caozhu?"
"Sister, you are so stupid. I'm just hired to pretend to be a flower lady to help them with trivial things. How could they tell me such a top-secret thing? In fact, even if they are themselves, few people know who is the real Song Caozhu. The flower lady said with a bitter face.
Chen Yan frowned gently, thought about it, and said, "Seeing that your answer is quite true. I'll forgive you for the time being. The second question, Pang Fei, who was taken away by you, where is he? How is he now?
"That romantic little man, hee hee, when he had sex with the real flower lady, he was drugged by me. Shuangshuang** naked was put into a linen bag and transported away late at night. From then on, I began to pretend to be a flower girl. Presumably they should have their lives in risk, but I really don't know where they are. The flower lady curled her lips and said aggrievedly, "Sister, what I said is true. You should also know that I'm not theirs, and they can't trust me so much.
"You don't know anything, so what's the use of me to keep you?" Chen Yan exerted her strength in her hand, and the tip of the sword sank again.
The flower lady suddenly frowned in pain and said repeatedly, "Wait, wait! I finally know something useful!"
"Tay!"
"The man they sent to contact me is romantic and lustful and likes to have fun with me. He usually wears a mask, but once when we were having a party, he took off the mask in excitement. I know him!"
"Who is it?"
"The leader of the government service of the Assassin's Mansion, Zhou Laojiu!"
"Papa, Papa, Papa"
There was a sudden applause outside the door. Qin Mubai pushed the door and entered and said with a smile, "Yan, it's really yours. Just now, I was still worried about whether it would be troublesome for you to get a seasoning for so long, and it was her who was in trouble.
"Did you hear it? Zhou Laojiu is also one of the traitors. Chen Yan said.
"Thank you, Yan, let her go!" Qin Mubai said with a smile.
Chen Yan reluctantly frowned and put away her sword. The flower lady hurriedly reached out and covered her neck wound and staggered back two steps, looking at Qin and Chen with a resentful face.
"Surnamed Qin, you don't seem to be surprised to hear Zhou Laojiu's name?" The flower lady said with a little annoy.
"What's the surprise?" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "When I was in the courtyard of Hua Niangzi, I knew that it was him who was talking to me in the boudoir."
"You just squat!"
"What's the point of squating you?" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Although you feel sorry for me, I know you are just a little role hired by insignificant people, and I'm not interested in killing you. Similarly, Zhou Laojiu is also a small role. I won't touch you for the time being, so as to startle the snake.
"Then don't I have to thank you and let me go?" The flower lady smiled and said, "Then excuse me!"
"You can go, but when I'm in a bad mood, I will betray you." Qin Mubai curled his lips and said, "I will tell the water ghosts that you have said a lot of things you shouldn't have said to me in order to seduce me to have sex with you."
"Yes." Chen Yan took over and said, "Mrs. Yao Xie, you betrayed your employer for personal gain, which is really a bad rule. Guess what, can you gain a foothold in the future? I think I really don't have to do it. In the future, no matter where you go, there will be a person chasing and killing behind you. You will never have peace. Life is better than death!"
The flower lady's silver teeth clenched her eyes and gritted her teeth with resentment and said, "You are cruel! Say, what do you want? If you want me to be your eyeliner, don't open your mouth!"
"No need. You don't really know much useful. Qin Mubai said, "I just need you to help me do one thing."
"Tay!"
"That's..." Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously and said, "Let Zhou Laojiu and others know that I have surrendered to your beauty!"
"Mu Bai!" Chen Yan frowned and lowered her voice, but immediately closed her voice.
The flower lady was stunned at first, and then showed her iconic smile and said, "Girl, you heard it. This is what your man asked for. Don't blame me!" General Qin, it is not difficult to do this. It's just that we have to be realistic once in a while, otherwise how can we be trusted?
"If you dare to touch half an inch of skin on his body, I will break you into ten thousand pieces and feed you fish!" Chen Yan pulled out her sword angrily, and the tip of the sword pointed motionless to Mrs. Yao Xie's eyebrows.
"Believe me, Yan." Qin Mubai gently patted Chen Yan's hand, advised her to put down her sword, and smiled at Mrs. Yao Xie, "That's your help, flower lady. Within three days from today, you don't have to go anywhere, just stay in the small building. Because we are lovers, lovers, of course, we have to stay together day and night.
"Shuangfeng on the first floor?" The flower lady smiled evilly, "You are so lucky, General Qin!"
"Within your share, witch!" Chen Yan was ashamed and annoyed, but it was not easy to disobey Qin Mubai's intention. She stared at the flower lady fiercely, hugged Qin Mubai's elbow tightly, and sneered with a provocative sneer, "You just deserve to look around!"
"Look at the living spring | The palace is also good!" The flower lady curled her lips, turned around and sat down next to her. She hummed, "I'm afraid there is no cat in the world that doesn't cheat. Maybe when will your man want to change his taste and make a fake play with me?
Qin Mubai said, "Yan, I seem to remember that this woman is full of poison, especially more**!"
Chen Yan sneered: "Isn't this simple? Now peel her off and let me examine her whole body, and then throw it into the stream for a few hours. How can I see how can she use the poison? Her little tricks can't escape my eyes!"
"Good! I don't mind undressing and undressing now. Anyway, he has seen it all over my body. After saying that, the flower lady stood up and made up her way to take off her clothes.
Chen Yan's face turned red: "Go upstairs! Don't take it off here, bitch!"
"Take it off and take it off. Don't be so fierce. I only see men force women to take off their clothes. I've never seen women like this." The flower lady curled her lips and still twisted her waist and limbs to show off **, and was walked upstairs by Chen Yan with her sword.
Qin Mubai sat down calmly and smiled in his heart: It's also interesting to enjoy the two women's bickering when you are bored!
