Chapter 186 The Intangible Hand
Chu Xuan took out the warm jade pendant that he just wanted to put on the table from his waist and handed it to Liu Xi: "If anyone comes to ask you any questions, give this to that person."
Liu Xi did not immediately pick up the jade pendant. He looked at Chu Xuan with a doubtful face and thought of Chu Xuan's strange expression before. Liu Xi subconsciously had more eyes: "Lord Chu, the emperor is still waiting to eat steamed buns. What's the matter? Let's wait for me to send this steamed buns."
"It only takes a moment, Grandpa Liu, take good care of this jade pendant. No accident, someone should come to you tomorrow." After saying that, Chu Xuan threw the jade pendant on the drawer cage and disappeared.
Liu Xi secretly marveled in his heart. Although he did not know martial arts, he could still see that Chu Xuan's martial arts were by no means simple. However, Liu Xi can't know how simple it is. However, Liu Xi remembered that there was a palace man who was very good at martial arts in the palace and lived in the Qinghe Hall.
Liu Xi took down Chu Xuan's jade pendant on the drawer cage, and his tentacles were cold. In the decades following Emperor Xia, in addition to learning to observe words and colors, Liu Xi is better at distinguishing treasures. As the saying goes, if you walk too much at night, you will always meet ghosts. Similarly, if you see too much, you can also distinguish between true and false. Previously, because he just glanced at it, Liu Xi did not see the jade pendant clearly. After Chu Xuan left, Liu Xi stared at the jade pendant carefully and couldn't help taking a breath of cold air. Because that jade pendant can no longer be described as valuable. It can only be explained by the four characters of value that the jade pendant is enough to replace five cities.
More coincidentally, Liu Xi knew that the jade pendant came from an extremely skilled carving master in the State of Chu. As for why Liu Xi recognized it, it was because he was the master's favorite disciple before Liu Xi entered the palace, but for some reason, Liu Xi was expelled from the master and then lived on the streets. Finally Enter the palace of Xia. But seeing the familiar carving skills, an inexplicable emotion still surged in Liu Xi's heart.
He put away the jade pendant and looked around without finding anything unusual. Liu Xi then left with the steamed buns with a comfortable expression. But his heart was extremely nervous. There is no reason, but Liu Xi always feels that something seems to have happened.
The next morning, large light gray clouds suspended in the air, and finally the rain fell down the eaves.
"Chu Xuan, missing." The door was pushed open and a cold wind came in. There are fine raindrops on Liuye's body, and his look is also extremely solemn.
Huh? Missing? What do you mean? Ling Yue put down the bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Is it missing?"
Liu Ye nodded and said, "Missing. I have sent someone to investigate the missing last night, but the inspectorate sent out reported that there was no clue except knowing that Chu Xuan left the palace last night. In addition, the last person he came into contact with was Liu Xi.
"Liu Xi? Why is it Liu Xi?
"Last night, the emperor wanted to eat steamed buns, so Liu Xi went to the imperial dining room."
Ling Yue stood up and said, "Calculations the time. Liu Xi should now prepare breakfast for the emperor in the imperial dining room. Let's go."
Ling Yue said and walked out of the house, regardless of the rain, and went directly to the imperial dining room in the rain. Along the way, the corners of Ling Yue's mouth were closed, and she suddenly hated herself. Why didn't she go to find Chu Xuan yesterday? Which nerve was wrong? Since it was wrong once, it must not be wrong for the second time, so without any reason, Ling Yue must find Liu Xi immediately.
Sure enough, as she speculated, as soon as she entered the imperial dining room, she saw Liu Xi tasting there.
"Liu Xi, did you see Chu Xuan yesterday?" Ling Yue went straight to the topic and said, "What on earth did he tell you?"
Liu Xi was not surprised, because he had been thinking about who would come to him last night, and now looking at Ling Yue, Chu Xuanba wanted to give him the jade pendant to Ling Yue, but he was still not sure, so he just smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
"Tell me what Chu Xuan told you. This is about the Supervision Institute. You don't have to know too much."
Since it is in the name of the Supervision Institute, it is naturally inconvenient for Liu Xi to ask more questions. He took out the jade pendant given to him by Chu Xuan from his sleeve and repeated the situation last night.
Ling Yue took the jade pendant and looked carefully. It was indeed a good jade. The shape of the jade pendant was like a **, and she faintly saw a word Chu in it: "Is this jade pendant?"
"Yes, it's this jade pendant. In addition."
"What else did you say?"
"I didn't say anything, but... Lord Chu was a little abnormal last night." Liu Xi said, "It seems that there is something on his mind, and it feels a little like rejecting people thousands of miles away."
"What else?" Ling Yue asked, "No matter how small things are, you have to say it."
helplessly, Liu Xi could only tell Ling Yue everything about last night, and then Ling Yue left with a jade pendant. The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and Liu Xi's mood is getting heavier and heavier. He didn't know what Ling Yue was going to do, and he didn't know what was going to happen. But since Ling Yue came to Xia Guo, he feels that a lot of things seem to have happened.
Ling Yue did not return to the uterus, but to the small building of the Supervision Institute. Wearing wet clothes, Ling Yue walked in calmly in the eyes of several inspectors, but she didn't know that her gauze skirt had become a little transparent because of the rain, and it clung to her body to outline her slender and thin figure. Liu Ye, who walked behind Ling Yue, whispered, "Sister, do you want to change your clothes?"
"Change your clothes, ah, yes, or you will catch a cold." Ling Yue said, "I put a few men's clothes in the supervisory hospital, and I'll change them later."
After a while, Ling Yue served with an apricot white man, and the green silk was also tied high with a jade belt. Liu Ye looked at Ling Yue, who was dressed as a man, and said with a smile, "Beautiful."
"It should be handsome." Ling Yue said, "It's still convenient for men's clothes. Let's go to Chu at night."
Huh? Why do you want to go to the State of Chu? Liu Ye asked.
Ling Yue suddenly became silent, and she didn't know why she went to the State of Chu because she saw the word Chu? After a long time, Ling Yue whispered, "Let me think, let me think." At this time, Ling Yue and Xie Yinxue came in and saw Ling Yue in men's clothing, and couldn't help asking where to go. Of course, Ling Yue, who was in a state of thinking, did not answer his question, but Xie Yinxue didn't care and turned to the direction of the file room.
After thinking for a long time, Ling Yueyou said, "Why the State of Chu? Why the State of Chu? Liu Ye, what do you think when you see that jade pendant?
"Vavaluable." Liu Ye said.
"Hmm? What's the value?"
"That jade pendant is worth at least five cities." Liu Ye was a little surprised and said, "Sister, how can you not see the value of that jade pendant if you like silver so much?"
"I'm more interested in your Chu character." Ling Yue said, " Desperate, Chu Xuan, don't we go to Chu to find the next clue when we go to this jade pendant?"
"Why Chu?" Liu Ye turned his head sideways and became more confused, "Clue, so who gave us the clue?"
"I don't know." Ling Yue said, "I feel that there is a hand behind me pushing me forward. Now this hand pushes me to the State of Chu, which is why I want to go to the State of Chu."
"It seems to make some sense. Shall we go to Chu?"
"I don't know. I'm afraid it's a trap." Ling Yue frowned and was a little anxious. "Most importantly, I don't know who the other party is and what the purpose is. If I go rashly, I will definitely encounter some danger. Ah, your sister is a person who is afraid of death."
"Why don't we wait and see what will happen?"
Ling Yue thought for a moment and said, "That's the only way, but I hope Liu Xi won't suddenly disappear this time. Liu Ye, stare at him."
"Sister, do you have any money?" Liu Ye asked sincerely.
"Uh... this, talking about silver hurts feelings." Ling Yue also said seriously.
"But talking about feelings hurts money."
