In the inn, Lian Cheng Gu Yue accompanied Yin Wushuang after finishing breakfast. Seeing that the time was almost up, she wanted to go out and stare, but was stopped by Yin Wushuang, "I'll go too."
"You don't have to go." Liancheng Guyue said, "It's a hot day outside, I can do this kind of thing alone."
Yin Wushuang said, "The other party is a master."
"So what?" Liancheng Guyue laughed, "Are you afraid that I'll get hurt?"
Yin Wushuang changed her clothes, reached out and picked up the sword beside the bed, and then looked at him with an expression like "No matter what you say, it's useless because I just want to go."
Liancheng Guyue: ...
The result of the final stalemate between the two was naturally Young Master Liancheng's compromise again.
There is really no suspense.
At this time, people in Sudi City were also spreading rumors that the owner of Luo Village in Wufeng Mountain had made a fortune and was going to Li Dakui's house to buy plum blossoms.
That is the legendary wine worth tens of thousands of gold... For ordinary people, it is extremely difficult to drink, let alone just smell it, so in almost a blink of an eye, in front of Li Dakui's door Dozens or hundreds of people gathered around, hoping to watch the excitement. And Li Dakui received a letter from the government last night, so he naturally cooperated closely - in fact, to be fair, he really wanted to sell the wine. Firstly, he has shown off and boasted enough over the years, and secondly, the feeling of being noticed by thieves is really uncomfortable. At first, he said that he would be broken into pieces just to scare people with evil intentions, but if he was really broken, it would be like a heartbreaking thing. It's better to exchange it for silver.
There was a lot of commotion in front of the Li Mansion, and more and more people gathered. Although the sun was scorching overhead, no one wanted to leave first. Liancheng Guyue and Yin Wushuang were sitting in a teahouse across the street, so they could see clearly what was happening below.
Liancheng Guyue handed the tea cup to him, "Although it is Qingming Meijian, it is old tea from last year and can only barely quench my thirst."
"You also study tea?" Yin Wushuang was a little surprised.
"Not before." Liancheng Guyue smiled, "But Luoxue said you liked it, so I learned something."
"What else did he say to you?" Yin Wushuang asked.
"I won't tell you." Liancheng Guyue flicked the tip of his nose, "I made an agreement with Luoxue, this is a secret."
Yin Wushuang found it funny, shook her head and continued looking down.
After a while, there was indeed a commotion at the corner of the street. Luo Yuan led a few men and rode their horses vigorously towards this side. Although he has washed his hands in a golden basin, his temperament will not change easily, so he still looks like a bandit, not like he is here to buy wine, but more like he is here to kidnap someone.
The people hid to both sides, and Li Da Kui, who went out after hearing the news, became even more frightened... These gangsters are so scary!
"You are Master Li, right?" Luo Yuan dismounted from his horse and asked casually.
"Yes, yes, it's me." Li Dakui nodded repeatedly, "I heard the housekeeper come to report early in the morning, saying that you want to buy Meihong?"
"That's right." Luo Yuanhao said very openly, "Just make a price for how much money you want, I have plenty of money!" The nouveau riche was extremely rich.
"The transaction is easy to discuss. Please come in, Mr. Luo." Li Dakai opened the door himself and let the group in.
Luo Yuan was surrounded by so many people for the first time in his life, and he felt very proud. He thought he should say something literary, so he said as he walked, "Good wine has always been paired with heroes, and I should be paired with the red plum blossoms!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding subordinates immediately began to applaud enthusiastically, saying from the bottom of their hearts, "The village chief is indeed the reincarnation of Wenquxing." It sounds so fcuking smooth!
The people around him were silent, feeling... No matter how poor the family was, the baby still had to be sent to school, otherwise it would be easy to be embarrassed when he grew up.
According to Yin Wushuang's instructions, this business obviously cannot be concluded at once. So after about half an hour, the door of Li Mansion opened again, and the people immediately stretched their necks to see if Luo Yuan had a wine jar in his hand.
The result was naturally no. Judging from the expressions of everyone in Luojiazhai, it didn't look like a deal had been concluded.
"I'm sorry, everyone. Please take care. Take care." Li Da Kui nodded and bowed, his attitude very respectful.
"It's okay. Our village chief has turned over a new leaf and will never rob you." The deputy said loudly, "But to be honest, this price is already very good. Why don't you consider it again, Mr. Li?"
The people around suddenly realized that they had not agreed on the price.
"Think about it, if Thunder Rat comes to the door one day and smashes this altar of plum blossoms, nothing will be left." The deputy continued, "Well, let's do it again in three days, everyone. Let's sit down and discuss it, right?"
"Okay." Li Da Kui said, "Then I'll think about it again and make a decision later."
"That's better." Luo Yuan was very satisfied. He turned his horse around and left with a group of followers, but he did not leave the city. Instead, he stayed in an inn in the city. It was obvious that he was sincere in buying wine.
The farce ended quickly, Liancheng Guyue said, "It seems that no suspicious person was found."
"Yeah." Yin Wushuang said, "It's reasonable."
"I'll just keep an eye on you." Liancheng Guyue said, "You go back to the inn earlier."
Yin Wushuang said, "No."
Liancheng Guyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Only three days." Yin Wushuang said, "I have guarded longer than this."
"That's different." Liancheng Guyue pinched his cheek, "You were alone before, but now you have me. Naturally, I will do this kind of rough and tiring work."
Yin Wushuang curled the corners of her mouth, turned her head away from him, and pretended not to hear it.
Seeing the red mark on the ear of the person opposite him, Young Master Liancheng was in a good mood and simply sat next to him - after all, it was a private room and no one could come in.
Yin Wushuang didn't chase him away. Instead, she leaned back on his chest and found the most comfortable position.
Liancheng Guyue held his hands and spoke to him every sentence. Yin Wushuang responded lazily for a few words, then closed his eyes and planned to rest for a while.
The smile in Liancheng Guyue's eyes became even wider. Looking at his absent-minded look, it was obvious that he was not very obsessed with investigating the matter. So the reason why he was unwilling to stay in the inn alone was just because he wanted to be with him?
After thinking this through, Liancheng Guyue tightened his arms and hugged him tighter.
Time passed little by little. The two of them had sat in the teahouse for a whole day. They had dinner and drank two pots of tea. When they saw that the waiter was about to close the shop, they paid the bill and left, landing quietly on a big tree not far away.
The altar of plum blossoms was still placed in a separate room, surrounded by servants, and it was obviously very tightly guarded.
"Do you think Lei Yong will come tonight?" Liancheng Guyue asked.
"I don't know." Yin Wushuang said, "But nine times out of ten, no."
"Then you still stay with me." Liancheng Guyue held his hand, "You won't go back to sleep."
"Yes." Yin Wushuang said, "I just want to defend it."
Liancheng Guyue was amused, leaning on a thick branch, pulling him into her arms, "Sleep for a while."
Yin Wushuang leaned against his chest, just enough to see the twinkling stars in the sky through the heavy branches.
The night wind blew and everything was quiet and beautiful. Nothing happened until the sun rose in the east.
The next night, the two of them were still sitting on the old tree, chatting while looking at the stars, and staring at the Li Mansion - really just by the way.
k!ssing under the stars on a summer night is so romantic!
Liancheng Guyue clenched her slender waist and gently bit the tip of his tongue with her teeth. Yin Wushuang frowned slightly, but did not push away, so the other party's k!ss became more and more wanton, until it finally started a prairie fire.
Yin Wushuang has a cold nature and is even more indifferent to love affairs. Although she won't resist being k!ssed and caressed by the person she likes, she doesn't feel that she has to go further. She just feels that it is very comfortable. So in comparison, Young Master Liancheng is in a more miserable state. The lover he yearns for is leaning in his arms, there is a faint mist in his eyes, his lips are redder than usual due to his own bites, and there are light k!ss marks on his neck. The whole person is lazy, as if he is inviting you to taste it, but he is in the tree!
On the tree!
exist! Tree! superior!
I can't help crying just thinking about it.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing his troubled expression, Yin Wushuang raised his head and asked.
Liancheng Guyue said calmly, "I was wondering why Lei Yong hasn't come yet."
"This is the first day of the three-day period." Yin Wushuang said.
"I know." Liancheng Guyue hugged him tightly, "If I had known this would happen, I should have made an appointment for a day." There was a hint of gnashing of teeth in her tone.
If you are caught, you must give him a good beating to make him angry!
Yin Wushuang intertwined his fingers, squinting her eyes to enjoy the breeze, her collar slightly open, completely ignoring that the eyes of the person behind her had turned green.
Even if you can't eat it now, you still have to spend the bridal chamber on the wedding day.
Thinking of this, Young Master Liancheng couldn't help but clench his hand.
"Hmm?" Yin Wushuang was a little confused.
"It's nothing." Liancheng Guyue k!ssed his hair, feeling angry in her heart.
Torture me now, and on the day of your wedding, you will get back at me double sooner or later.
In the second half of the night, the surroundings became increasingly quiet, with only the night watchman passing by while beating the watch, and occasionally two stray cats chasing and playing in the street, and then disappearing into the darkness again in a moment. A breeze blew, mixed with a little moisture, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Liancheng Guyue was just thinking about asking him to go back first, but Yin Wushuang opened his eyes alertly.
A black figure, like a civet cat, came here quickly from a distance. It moved and flashed as fast as a ghost. In almost the blink of an eye, it reached the wall of Li Mansion and jumped up.
Liancheng Guyue and Yin Wushuang looked at each other, then quietly landed on a nearby tree where they could see more clearly.
After the dark figure entered Li's house, he did not go directly to steal the wine. Instead, he went to the kitchen and set a fire.
This is also a common tactic used by thieves. If the owner's house is messed up first, the chance of succeeding in theft will naturally be much greater.
However, this behavior made Lian Cheng Gu Yue and Yin Wushuang a little surprised - because it was too ordinary, and it really didn't look like something done by a thief who gave Brocade Mother-in-law a headache.
After the people in the Li Mansion discovered the fire, they indeed became chaotic. When the news spread to the backyard, the servants who were guarding Luo Meihong also talked about it and jumped onto the roof to look around. In fact, everyone had already guessed most of the situation at this time, but because Yin Wushuang had previously instructed them to take advantage of the situation, they acted panicked.
Soon enough, at the moment when several servants near the wine jar were distracted, a black shadow jumped down from the wall, stepped forward and hugged the wine jar, turned around and ran away, wearing a black night clothes and blending into the night. Disappears almost instantly.
Liancheng Guyue threw a dart and accurately knocked the thief off the wall. A crisp sound of breaking was heard, and the jar of Luomeihong was smashed to pieces. The servants of the Li Mansion rushed out with torches in hand, and saw that the thief was not in a hurry to run away. Instead, he held a bowl of wine that had not been spilled, raised his head and drank it. After smacking his lips, his face changed drastically - it was not Luomeihong at all, but just ordinary Zhuyeqing.
Since the thief had a hidden weapon in his knee, he was easily subdued by the servants of the Li family. After receiving the news, the government and Hongdanlou arrived as soon as possible and tied him back.
The surroundings returned to silence. Liancheng Guyue looked at Yin Wushuang and asked, "What do you think?"
"It does look like Lei Yong, who loves wine and is obsessed with ghosts." Yin Wushuang said, "But he is definitely not a master, and it is impossible to defeat Granny Brocade."
"It's just like what I thought." Liancheng Guyue said, "Go to the government office?"
Yin Wushuang nodded and went to the government office with him.
"Master Yin." Granny Zhijin and Feng Xiao were there by chance, and said, "The prefect is interrogating him overnight."
"Is it really Lei Yong?" Liancheng Guyue asked.
"Indeed." Feng Xiao said, "I chased him the whole way."
"But he was not the one who attacked the government office that night." Brocade Mother-in-Law said, "I am also talking to Feng Captou about this."
As expected... Yin Wushuang and Liancheng Guyue looked at each other and frowned slightly.
At dawn, Thunder Mouse finally confessed to his crime. A few years ago, he was just a little thief who was new to the world. He spent his whole day doing small things, far from the level of a "big thief". Later, he met a weirdo by chance and learned a strange skill. Dunjia's Qinggong has made him famous since then.
"Weird?" asked the magistrate, "How strange is he?"
"I can't really say. His clothes and speech are strange." Lei Yong said, "I once asked him why he accepted me as his disciple. He just said it was because I can talk, but I didn't say anything to please him."
"Did you steal the Tou Gu Xiang?" the prefect asked again.
"I stole it, but I've already given it to my master." Lei Yong said honestly, "I was learning from him at the beginning. After I succeeded, I showed him the thing, and then the bone-penetrating incense was taken away. His reaction at the time was also very strange, as if he was happy and angry at the same time, and he looked like he was possessed."
Liancheng Guyue and Yin Wushuang listened for a while in the next room, and suddenly remembered something, so they frowned.
"What's wrong?" Yin Wushuang asked.
"Just now I saw him climbing over the wall, and I felt that his martial arts skills were a bit familiar." Liancheng Guyue said, "Now that I think about it, he is very similar to the group of people who forced their way into Wuxuemen that day."
"Are you talking about the Heavenly Evil Azure Dragon and Fierce Tiger Seventy-two Palaces?" Yin Wushuang asked. When he came out that day, those people had already been tied up tightly, so naturally they didn't know their martial arts.
Liancheng Guyue was stunned, "Why do you remember such a long name so clearly?"
Yin Wushuang said funny, "I'm talking about business."
"Those people." Liancheng Guyue said, "They look like they were taught by a master."
"If that's the case, then maybe we can meet him again this time when we go to the South China Sea." Yin Wushuang said, "He doesn't sound like a good person. He has high martial arts skills, but his actions are confusing."
"No matter whether he meets you or not, I will never let you be snatched away." Liancheng Guyue helped him straighten his collar, and it was obvious that he still cared about the matter of outsiders coming to propose marriage.
While the two were talking, Granny Zhijin knocked on the door and came in, saying that Lei Yong had already signed and sealed the contract. In addition to the bone-penetrating incense and some theft cases, he was also the one who caused the fireball in the teahouse that day. Her purpose was to teach Feng Xiao a lesson and stop him from chasing him.
"What about the person who attacked my mother-in-law that day?" Yin Wushuang asked.
"Judging from his martial arts skills, he is most likely his master." Granny Zhijin said, "If what Lei Yong said is true, then he should have returned to the South China Sea. I'm afraid he can't be caught in the city."
It really is the South China Sea... Liancheng Guyue felt a little strange in her heart. She always felt that things were not that simple.
However, for Sudi City, the scourge of thieves has completely ended, and the people are singing and dancing, planning to hold another Jiuqu Lantern Festival. Lei Yong was captured and imprisoned. Feng Xiao continued to accompany Lu Zigui to participate in the poetry competition. Brocade Weaving Granny took people back to the Red Brocade Tower. Before leaving, she promised Yin Wushuang that she would personally weave a piece of red brocade and give it to her as a gift. Go to Wuxuemen and save it for the wedding ceremony.
"Remember to return the gift when the time comes." Liancheng Guyue touched her chin, "I think the old man's teeth are not in good condition, so we shouldn't add peanuts and walnuts to the wedding cake, right?"
Yin Wushuang shook his head and continued to pack his luggage. Although the person behind the scenes had not been caught yet, he could not stay in Su Di City for too long, so after sending someone to send a letter to Riyue Villa, The two of them planned to continue their journey to the South China Sea.
As for the brocade stone beast, it was naturally stuffed into the bag as well.
Liancheng Guyue sighed from the bottom of his heart.
The color has faded, why can’t I just throw it away...
