Chapter 88 Smoke Bug Gu

Huayuan Pavilion, the most famous brothel in Gusu, and this antique shop called Wuqi are all the information contact points of Ming Palace.

Fang Junhe wandered around Huajie and Liuxiang all day long with the image of a wanderer, and as soon as he entered Gusu, he plunged headlong into Huayuan Pavilion.As Mu Dian is a woman, it is inconvenient to enter and leave the brothel. When there is a secret mission to be entrusted to Fang Junhe, he will be notified to him through these pre-arranged contact points.

On the wax-sealed scroll are densely packed musical notes, which are a set of code words created by Fang Junyu on the basis of Guqin scores.Except for Mu Dianke and his personal maid holding the piano, no one knows, so there is no need to worry about information leakage.

Mu Dianke is not very good at understanding the world.At least compared to Xu Younan and Fang Junyu, who are well-versed in human relations, they are much inferior.That's why Mu Dianke chose to take Xu Younan with him when he went to Chuzhou.

Life is sparse and complicated, with Xu Younan's help in planning and management, she can save a lot of trouble.

For Xu Younan, such a small matter as sending money to Yiyouyuan is a blink of an eye.But taking the opportunity to sarcastically mock Mu Dian is inevitable.

Mu Dian didn't want to suffer this kind of idleness, so he had no choice but to look far away and let Fang Junyu do it.

There is another consideration in doing so.It was because Jin Yanchen couldn't get used to Fang Junyu for a long time, and intentionally or unintentionally suppressed Fang Junyu, so that people in the Ming Palace looked down on Fang Junyu.Give him more chances to show his face, so as to keep his status and prestige in the Ming Palace as a superior.

Mu Dianke pretended to compare, and finally chose the pottery vase of the Han Dynasty for offering sacrifices to grains.

Before going out, he didn't think that this would happen. Mu Dian didn't have much money to bring with him.Fortunately, there was a fish-eye embedded in the money bag, and Mu Dian didn't bother to go to the pawn shop to exchange money, so he used the money bag as cash to pay for the clay pot under the instigation of the boss.

There are many kinds of intelligence points in Ming Palace.

For an intelligence-gathering base like Huayuan Pavilion, the entire venue belongs to Ming Palace, and everyone from the boss to the kitchen servants is his own.

As for the stronghold that is only responsible for information transmission like Buqi, Ming Gong did not take it as its own. It just arranged a few clever guys in the store and arranged shifts in turn to ensure that there were no staff at critical times.Once exposed, it is quickly transferred, and the loss is not large.

The boss is not from Minggong, so naturally he doesn't know Mu Dianke either.I was very happy to slaughter a stupid and rich fat sheep.When she is happy, she forgets her shape, her eyes are full of color, and her expression seems to say: Is this girl stupid?

Mu Dian was a little displeased, and was about to take out the dagger to scare the fat man, when he suddenly felt a gaze behind him, turned around, and saw Li Xiaoxiao in a red dress, holding an ink-and-paper umbrella for playing fish and lotus leaves, Standing tall outside the store.

Thousands of strands of rain are flying and slanting under the umbrella, densely woven into a net.After the rain and fog, the face was still as usual, bright and very clear.

The pomegranate red dress fluttered in the wind. The scene that should have been cold and rainy, but because of the touch of red, gave birth to a different kind of vitality.Vibrant, warm and delightful.

Li Xiaoxiao walked towards Mu Dianke holding an umbrella.

"Fourth Miss."

"Miss Li."

Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "We are really destined to meet Fourth Miss, and we always meet unexpectedly on the street. Can you lend me this clay pot, Fourth Miss?"

Although this request is strange, it is not excessive.Mu Dianke stretched out his hand and handed over the jar for sacrificing grain.

Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Miss Si's favorite is really different from ordinary women. I have seen many jars like this in Grandpa Chang's academy, but I am a layman, so I can't see any similarities and differences."

Mu Dianke smiled lightly and said, "I also bought it casually for the sake of eye-catching. Mr. Chang's collection must be all high-quality goods, so I dare not compare them."

Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "With the ability of the fourth young lady, what can catch the eye, how can it be mediocre?"

Mu Dianke smiled lightly as a response.

Li Xiaoxiao handed the jar back to Mu Dianke, and said, "I have a question that I've been holding back for a long time. When I went to Yunjiazhuang to deliver the set of stone dolls, did Miss Si recognize that it was ambergris jade? Did you guess that it was a gift from my elder brother?"

Mu Dian didn't expect her to be so straightforward, his smile froze for a moment, and soon he returned to normal, and said, "May I also ask Miss Li to convey my thanks to Mr. Chang."

She smiled as before, but her eyes darkened somewhat.

Li Xiaoxiao is not good at observing words and expressions, but she is a woman, a woman is delicate and sensitive, and she also understands women's thoughts best.

Li Xiaoxiao wanted to hit Mu Dian but was caught off guard, and asked again: "You also have my elder brother in your heart, right?"

This time Mu Dian was on guard, and his expression remained calm.The eyelashes drooped, and there was a three-point indifference in his expression, and he said lightly: "Miss Li's words are inappropriate."

In the eyes of those who don't know the inside story, Mu Dianke is still Jin Yanchen's fiancée.It can be quite offensive to ask a married woman if she is interested in another man.

Li Xiaoxiao looked a little embarrassed, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue for a moment, and I didn't mean to offend Miss Fourth."

Mu Dianke said, "It doesn't matter."

I panicked for no reason.I feel a little ironic.

Unexpectedly, she has been a shield for Jin Yanchen for so long, and one day she will use him as a shield.

The atmosphere inevitably cooled down.Li Xiaoxiao saw that Mu Dian was silent for a long time, and thought she was displeased, so she didn't stay for a long time, so she said, "I still have something to do at home, so I'll go ahead first. Miss Si is leaving."

"Miss Li, go slowly."

The rain outside was getting heavier, and the rain falling from the eaves pulled out a bead curtain of raindrops outside the door.When the wind blows, the curtains undulate, and the rain is cool.

A fist-sized gray shadow fell from the eaves, mixed in the water curtain, and spread thinly as the water fell, like light smoke, like a cloud of fog, hidden in the white water vapor, very difficult to perceive.

Mu Dianke kept his eyes down because of his depressed mood. When he raised his head and noticed something strange, Li Xiaoxiao had already left the door with an umbrella.

Mu Dianke yelled "Be careful!" The bamboo hat with his right hand was thrown out, like a spinning top, turning back and forth, embracing the large scattered white shadow, and quickly buckled it towards the ground.

Mu Dianke flew forward, hugged Li Xiaoxiao and fell back.In a hurry, he did not choose his way and knocked down the shelf at the door.The shelves holding the antique jade wares fell one by one, and the ground was filled with the sound of shattering and crashing.

But it was too late.

On Li Xiaoxiao's neck, bulging small bags appeared, like sand dunes rushing all over the ground, constantly changing positions.It seems that there are living things running under the skin, and they may burst out of flesh and blood at any time.

Although the number of sacs is not much, but due to the speed of movement is too fast, at a glance, there are small swollen sacks all over the neck, densely packed, very frightening.

Mu Dian could recognize that it was smoke insect Gu.

Under normal circumstances, the smoke insects are as small as dust and difficult to identify.Once it enters the human body, it will immediately suck blood and swell, becoming as big as a bee worm, devouring the host's flesh and blood frantically.

But I don't know why, after these smoke insects entered Li Xiaoxiao's body, they didn't rush to eat her body, but wanted to run away.

Outside the door, innocent pedestrians screamed.Scratching his body with both hands, he rolled desperately on the ground.

Li Xiaoxiao was also in great pain, sweating and trembling all over, she reached out and grabbed at her neck.

Mu Dianke had quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed her with both hands.A knife went down and cut Li Xiaoxiao's neck. Li Xiaoxiao stopped struggling and passed out.

The bamboo hat that was buckled on the ground was pushed up by a strong force from below, and occasionally the brim of the hat was pushed out by a crack, and countless smoke insects spilled out.

There were people coming and going on the street, and many spectators gathered around here.

Mu Dianke suddenly became vigorous in his desperation.Grasping a bronze cylinder in the corner with both hands, he tried his best to lift it up. When he stood up, there was a sound on his back, as if it had been broken.

However, the vat made her pick it up after all.

Mu Dianke endured the pain, raised the bronze jar and threw it towards the door. The mouth of the jar was turned upside down, and it accurately covered the gray mist that had just rushed out of the bamboo hat and was about to scatter in all directions.

Turning around and darting back into the house, he brought up Li Xiaoxiao and ran towards the Chongde Hall.

　Grandpa Chang: What are your specialties?Sisi: I can lift a tank.Old Mrs. Chang: Can female celebrities cook and mop the floor?Sisi: No, but I can bring it up with a smile.Old Man Chang: ...Next!Are you kidding me, with so much effort, will my grandson be domestically abused in the future?
