Happy beautiful man

Chapter 022 What is a gift

Thinking of the scar on Jiufang Xia's face, Long Yu shook his head. The scar was so obvious that anyone who wasn't blind could see it.

But Mo Li waved his hand to let the boss go to work. Seeing Long Yu's worried look, he comforted him, "Princess, don't worry too much. From Dongjin to Linluo, it's at least three or four days' journey. Jiufangxia is now It won't go too fast, I have already sent the news out, so that people can intercept it all the way."

"If it doesn't work, let's go to Linluo." Long Yu bit his chopsticks and said, "No matter what, it's always my fault. At least he healed my injuries. I don't dare to be so fierce. Go and apologize to him and be good." Say it, it always should."

"The princess wants to go to Linluo?" Mo Li glanced at Long Yu and said, "Linluo doesn't have a good impression of the princess. And the things you have done to him may not be a one or two-sentence apology. It can be solved."

"I know this too." Long Yu said with a frowning face, "But at least you have to find Jiufangxia first. And I think, even if he doesn't want to see me, Linluo doesn't want to see me either. With Dongjin as the backing, they wouldn't dare to see me." Anxious to harm me, hypocrisy and submissiveness, you still have to put on a show. Even if Lin Luo has already been tempted in this battle, and Dong Jin is an enemy, how can this be prepared in a day or two."

After listening to Long Yu's words, Mo Li nodded slightly, and said: "The princess said so, it makes sense. Although Linluo has been getting stronger these years, the expansion of Dongjin is also well known. Jiufangxia stays in the princess mansion all the year round. Jin Guoli should be aware of how much strength, even if he has the heart of dying together, he will not be so rash."

After eating for a while, I went back to my room to rest.This era is not like the world Long Yu is used to. Unless it is a major festival, the whole street will be quiet after dark.Except for places like brothels and Chuguan, there is no way to find entertainment.

And Long Yu didn't have the strength to entertain herself today. Although the ice cube in her lower abdomen seemed to have melted since she came out of the hot spring, she didn't feel any discomfort anymore, but she was recovering from a serious injury after all, and she had never ridden a horse before. After half a day of galloping, I didn't feel anything when I was moving all the time. I sat down after eating and drinking, and I only felt a little soreness in my waist, legs and arms.

This inn is not small, the lobby on the first floor is for dining, and the second and third floors are surrounded by guest rooms.Mo Li rented half a circle on the third floor, and lived in the middle room with Long Yu.

In this era, there is no such thing as a standard room. A room is a bed. No matter how good the condition is, the room is just a bed. However, the bed is very big, and it is not a problem to sleep three people.On one side of the room, behind the screen, there are wooden barrels and other bathing utensils.

In the room, the stove was still burning, which was warm and exuded a faint fragrance.

After entering the room, Long Yu took off his coat, sat on the chair and rubbed his arms.If there were no accidents, I would still be on my way tomorrow, holding on to the reins for most of the day, and my arms were a little cramp.

Mo Li seemed a little surprised by Long Yu's action, put the sword on the table, glanced at her, got up and was about to walk over, when there was a light knock on the door twice, someone whispered outside: "My lord."

Mo Li got up and went to open the door. A man in black stood at the door without looking up, and said a few words in a low voice.

"I see, keep looking." Mo Li responded, closed the door, turned around, and said to Long Yu, "Just now the spies came to report that Lin Yunshen left the sacrificial mansion last night. According to the time, we will leave ahead of time." , he followed and left. Early this morning, the servants of the sacrificial mansion followed his early arrangement and were all dismissed."

Long Yu stood up all of a sudden: "How could this happen?"

"And." Mo Li said: "He had long expected that the princess would investigate him, and he left a message for the princess. He said that he would give the princess three gifts."

"Lin Yunshen wants to give me three gifts?" Long Yu asked hurriedly, "What are they?"

Mo Li shook his head: "Lin Yunshen didn't say anything, and he didn't leave anything behind. It's just something that was passed on."

Long Yu thought of the ruby ​​that Lin Yunshen gave him, and said: "He gave me something, a ruby ​​pendant, talking about it, his task has been completed, and he gave it to me, whether I want it or not, he They all retired."

"What about that thing?" Mo Li couldn't help asking, and felt that his tone was wrong after speaking, and lowered his head: "This subordinate has exceeded the norm."

Long Yu waved his hand: "I don't need so many rules, I looked at the thing, and I didn't see anything different. But on the way back home, when I met the assassin, I threw it on the carriage , and now I don’t know where I went.”

Long Yu always felt that this man was a bit weird, aside from other things, it was remarkable that he knew that he came from afar.As for whether it's from astrology or divination, it's always considered a skill.

"It's already lost?" Mo Li frowned, "I'll ask someone to find it somewhere. Lin Yunshen will never give something out of nowhere, and that thing must have its use."

"I don't think you need to look for it deliberately." Long Yu said indifferently: "Lin Yunshen said it is mysterious, since the thing has been given to me, I don't care if I want it or not, the wheel of fortune has already started and it can't stop. In this case, if it is really destined, that thing will naturally come back to me. But the three gifts he mentioned, I don’t think this is included, otherwise, it should have been mentioned last night .”

Lin Yunshen has already left without a trace, and has dismissed all the servants in the mansion. This is typical because he doesn't plan to come back, so what will be the gift he gave himself?

Long Yu felt a chill in his heart, sat up straight, and hesitated a little: "Mo Li, did you say that the assassination last night was arranged by Lin Yunshen? If so, is it a gift?"

Long Yu's deduction stunned Mo Li for a moment, before he said: "Who did the assassination last night, I don't have a clue yet, but the Sacrificial Palace is indeed not free from suspicion."

Long Yu thought about it, but it was really hard to understand: "Actually, if Lin Yunshen wants to kill me, he doesn't need to bother at all. He had a lot of opportunities in the sacrificial mansion that day. Even if he is afraid that he will be exposed on the spot and it will be difficult to escape, he can poison me." Oh, what the hell, why wait until I leave the mansion. Besides, I didn't bring many people with me that day, and it's not like he didn't know that he was injured. If he directly ambush the killer in the sacrificial mansion, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort. "

Mo Li was also silent for a while, unable to figure out why, thinking that he had to go on the road tomorrow, so he asked Long Yu to rest early.

I slept soundly this night, and it was not the first day that Long Yu and Mo Li slept together in the same bed. Although Mo Li was very repulsive at first, seeing that Long Yu was not as usual, he got up calmly and slept on the outside of the bed , the long sword was leaning against the head of the bed, within reach.

After a night of nothing to say, Long Yu woke up early the next morning, washed up casually, had breakfast, and planned to leave.

After all, Jiufang Xia walked two hours earlier than them. If the same non-stop, this time would be enough for him to go a long way.And even if he was unwell and had to stop and rest halfway, Long Yu's body couldn't be restless day and night.

After breakfast, Long Yu and Mo Li went downstairs. People here go to bed early and get up early. There is a bustling street outside the inn. At this time, people are already coming and going.

Long Yu came out of the room and stood at the door of the inn waiting for the guards to lead the horses out. At the same time, she looked curiously at the ancient streets that were new to her.

On both sides of the street, there are rows of small stalls, with all kinds of breakfast, buns, noodles, pastries, and grocery stalls, bustling and bustling.

Directly across the street was a small stall selling cakes of various colors. On the stall, a mother was coaxing a two or three-year-old girl while picking pastries.

The little girl wore two pigtails and a colorful jacket. She was chubby and very cute, but for some reason, she was crying sadly while wiping her tears.

The stall owner took the money, picked up the pastry and handed it to his mother.He picked up another small piece, handed it to the little girl with a smile, and stroked her head, "Good boy, why are you crying like this? Who bullied you?"

The little girl took the pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, sobbing, but didn't speak.

The woman accepted the pastries she bought, and said helplessly: "Just now, in the medical center across the alley, I met a handsome man, but there was a big scar on his face. The child was frightened and kept crying. Yes, I'm afraid I'm going to have a nightmare tonight."

Long Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he pulled Mo Li, who was turning around to talk to the guards, and ran over: "Mo Li, Mo Li..."

Mo Li didn't have any precautions at all, he was dragged and ran outside, crossing the street, and saw Long Yu grabbed the woman: "Where is that man?"

All of a sudden, more than a dozen guards brought by Long Yu surrounded him, their swords drawn.

The woman had never seen such a battle before, she was shopping hard, and was surrounded by a dozen people all at once, and they were all dressed in the same color.

The child was even more frightened now, and there was no time to eat what was in his mouth, so he burst into tears with a wow.

"You... who are you?" The woman's face was pale, and she hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold the child tightly in her arms, staring at Long Yu vigilantly.

Long Yu calmed down, changed his smiling face, waved his hands to let the guards leave, and said softly: "Sorry, I scared you. I just heard you said that you met a man with a scar on his face?"

"That's right." The woman said: "I met it, just now...that man went to the medical hall..."

"Where is the medical clinic you mentioned?" Long Yu asked anxiously.

"Over there..." The woman pointed her finger, it was an alley diagonally opposite the long street: "There is a medical center called Mingdetang over there, I saw that the man walked a little unsteadily, probably because he was uncomfortable, Probably to the doctor's office."

As soon as the man finished speaking, without waiting for Long Yu to speak, Mo Li said thank you, put the ingot of silver in his wife's hand, and took the lead to go forward.

This person should undoubtedly be Jiufang Xia.Could there be such a coincidence in this world?

Long Yu's heart was throbbing, and as he walked forward with Mo Li, somehow, he felt a little homely and timid. He hoped that this person was Jiufang Xia, but he didn't know how to face him after meeting him.

At the end of the alley, there is an antique medical clinic. Of course, this antique is only in Long Yu's eyes.You must know that in this era, everything is antique.

On the door of the medical hall, there is the word Mingdetang written on it. Entering the main entrance, there is a row of counters, and the cabinets behind are filled with medicinal materials.On the other side of the medical hall was a reclining chair, and a curtain was drawn beside the reclining chair, presumably for the examination of some patients.

Long Yu walked to the door, turned around suddenly and said, "I can go in alone, you guys wait outside."
