The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 654: Xiao Yanjiao! (two more)

It was the time when the night market was bustling, and there were too many vehicles and pedestrians on the street, resulting in Nangong Li's carriage not driving fast, which made it easier for Gu Jiao to follow.

Nangong severed his arm and was seriously injured. It was said that he was going to die, but he seemed to be alive and well, so how did the rumors of his dying come out, and what was his purpose?

Gu Jiao guessed that Nangong Li's mission to assassinate Xiao Heng failed, so she deliberately pretended to be seriously injured and died in order to reduce the guilt.

Who is the person who gave him this task? Is it the head of the Nangong family or someone else?

No matter what, Nangong Li is not innocent.

Nangong Li's carriage first walked on the long street for a while, then turned right and entered a small alley.

After crossing the alley, there is another relatively clean street.

Most of the street sells antiques, calligraphy and paintings, not as lively as the long street with brothels and lanterns.

But it was precisely because the population was less, which increased the chances of Gu Jiao being exposed, so Gu Jiao had to walk more lightly.

Nangong Li's carriage stopped in front of an antique shop.

The coachman put down the footstool and helped Nangong Li down.

Gu Jiao was hiding behind a pillar diagonally opposite.

It was just now that we were far away on the second floor, so we couldn't see clearly. Now that we got closer, and the light from the lantern hit Nangong Li's face again, Gu Jiao realized that Nangong Li's injury was really not optimistic.

His face was very pale, and his steps were not as steady as those seen in Zhaoguo.

It seems that Chang Jing's sword not only broke his arm, but also hurt his foundation. It is basically impossible for him to recover.

After Nangong Li entered the shop, Gu Jiao also came near the shop. She hesitated whether to go in directly or climb up to the roof secretly.

She had seen Nangong Li, the real person and the portrait, but she wasn't sure whether Nangong Li had seen her, and whether he had investigated her by the way while investigating Xiao Liulang.

If not, then it’s okay to go in grandiosely.

But what if—

Gu Jiao looked down at her clothes, she came out in a hurry just now, she didn't change her clothes, she was wearing the uniform of Tianqiong Academy.

"Forget it, climb the wall."

Gu Jiao walked into the alley, kicked off the wall and climbed up to the roof.

The night covered her figure properly, and following Nangong Li's voice, she gently lifted a tile.

Nangong Li sat on the main seat, and opposite him stood a man dressed as a businessman in his fifties,

It looks like the shopkeeper of this shop.

Gu Jiao is currently at the tenth level of Yan Guohua, so naturally there is no situation where she can't understand the conversation between the two.

She heard Nangong ask sharply: "How's the situation over there?"

The shopkeeper sighed: "His Royal Highness is very angry, why can't even handle such a small matter well."

Nangong Li said: "This is not a trivial matter! This general lost an arm!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "The general has done a lot of hard work, and His Highness also said, let the general recover from his injuries."

"Hmph, I'm afraid that if the general hadn't been injured so badly, His Highness would have punished me, right?"

"Your Highness is also angry, and the general's loyalty to His Highness won't His Highness understand?"

When Gu Jiao heard this, she almost got a general idea. The trivial matter that Nangong Li was talking about should be the assassination of Xiao Heng.

The one who can be called His Highness can only be the Dayan royal family.

Why did the Dayan royal family want Xiao Heng's life?

Could it be that Xiao Heng has something to do with the Dayan royal family?

Nangong said impatiently: "Okay, don't mention this, how is the matter I asked you to investigate?"

At present, it seems that this shopkeeper has three identities, the first is the shopkeeper in the shop, the second is the informant of His Highness, and the third is Nangong Li's confidant.

The shopkeeper said: "The young sect master of the Anyemen and the old sect master ran away from home in anger a few years ago, and there has been no news since then. The elders of the Anyemen who went to Zhao Kingdom should be looking for the young sect master. Who would have thought The young sect master didn't meet him, but he happened to rescue the general."

Nangong frowned sharply and said: "I was unconscious at the time, and I couldn't tell them that the one who hurt me was the young master of the Anyemen. When I woke up at Nangong's house, they had already left."

Wait, wasn't Chang Jing the one who hurt you?

Why did he become the Young Sect Master of the Dark Night Sect again?

By the way, what is the Dark Night Gate?

Gu Jiao was at a loss.

The shopkeeper hesitated and said, "Then... is the general going to tell Anyemen about the Young Sect Master?"

Nangong Li snorted coldly: "So what if I tell? Can they kill their young sect master to avenge the general? The young sect master hurt the general, but their guardians also saved the general. The head of the sect protects the urination of the calf, and he will definitely say that the merits and demerits are equal, so that he will not kill relatives righteously."

The shopkeeper sighed: "The old door owner has always come to have a son. I don't know how precious this son is. I can't bear to punish him."

Nangong sternly said: "But this general cannot swallow this breath!"

The shopkeeper's face changed slightly: "The general intends to—"

Nangong Li stopped talking, "I have my own arrangements for this matter. Your Highness, please pay more attention to me. Although I have injured my body, it is still useful to Your Highness with the military power in my hands."

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The Nangong family is now the number one family in military power, and it is too late for His Highness to value the general. When the general recovers, then send someone to kill that kid."

"I see." Nangong Li Dandan stood up, and accidentally pulled the wound on his broken arm. He gasped in pain, and subconsciously raised his left hand to help, but accidentally knocked off a Duobaoge Calligraphy and painting.

The calligraphy and painting were spread out on the ground with a snap.

Gu Jiao took a closer look.

It is a portrait of Xiao Heng.

To be precise, it is the portrait of the most beautiful woman in Canglan Academy.

The beauty in the portrait is dressed in plain silk and wearing a translucent veil, she is so beautiful.

Nangong Li once hijacked Xiao Heng, and recognized Xiao Heng's face——

Gu Jiao frowned slightly, and tightly squeezed the silver needle in her hand.

The shopkeeper bowed to pick up the portrait and rolled it up, and said coyly, "It's the portrait on the list of beauties from the Six Nations, a new beauty from Canglan Academy."

Nangong Li was not interested and left without looking back.

Gu Jiao took back the silver needle.

Through the conversation just now, Gu Jiao confirmed two things. One, the members of Dayan's royal family wanted Xiao Heng's life;

Does Xuan Pinghou know that the person he abducted back is the precious son of the master of the Dark Night Sect?

The master of the Anyemen knew about it, and was afraid that he would come over with a knife and chop him.

After Nangong Li left, Gu Jiao slowly put the tiles back, turned over and jumped off.

Originally, Nangong Li had only a coachman who knew martial arts, and Gu Jiao didn't have much trouble following him, but after leaving the shop, a group of people suddenly came, all of them came to pick up Nangong Li.

Gu Jiao hesitated for a moment, and decided to call it a day.

Now that we know that this pawnshop is Nangong Li's stronghold, as long as we keep an eye on it, we will meet Nangong Li again in the future.

But when the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, Heng Xiao unexpectedly appeared nearby together with Xiao Qing Kong.

It was rare for Xiao Jingkong to grow a little taller, and his original clothes were too short, so Xiao Heng brought him here to make custom clothes.

Coincidentally, the embroidery building is opposite the pawn shop.

The carriages of Nangong Li and Xiao Heng stopped at the side of the road.

Xiao Jingkong stuck his head out of the window and looked around curiously.

When Gu Jiao saw him, she was basically sure that Xiao Heng was also in the carriage.

At this time, Nangong Li also came to the street, as long as Xiao Heng got off the carriage, Nangong Li could see him.

The curtain of the carriage was thrown back.

A jade-like slender hand protruded from inside the carriage.

And as if there was some kind of attraction in the dark, Nangong Li subconsciously looked towards the opposite carriage.

Xiaoqingkong jumped down first.

He was tanned into a little black egg, blending into the night, but he didn't show his appearance.

But Xiao Heng was too eye-catching.

The moment Xiao Heng bowed and walked out of the carriage, Gu Jiao suddenly picked up a small stone at her feet, and slammed it at Nangong!

With a bang, Nangong Li's forehead was smashed into a big bag!

The surrounding guards surrounded Nangong Li and the carriage one after another.

"Protect the general!"

said a guard.

With just such an interruption, Xiao Heng entered the Xiulou smoothly.

Nangong Li glanced at the carriage, but saw nothing. At this moment, his attention was no longer on the carriage that made him feel bad.

His whereabouts are exposed!

He covered the big bump on his forehead and sternly shouted: "Chasing after me!"

"Yes!"

The eight guards rushed forward and chased in the direction where the stone was thrown.

Gu Jiao is still wearing the clothes of Tianqiong Academy, it is really not a good time to fight.

She retreated quickly.

The opponent chased after her fiercely, and divided his troops into three groups to surround her.

Just as she was passing by a small alley, suddenly a hand with sharp bones stretched out, covered her mouth, and pulled her over.

Due to too much force, she crashed into the opponent's arms, she shook one arm, and a silver needle fell into her hand.

"it's me."

A familiar voice rang in her ears in time.

Gu Jiao withdrew her hand and turned to look at him.

Mu Qingchen looked around to make sure that Gu Jiao recognized her, and led Gu Jiao to perform lightness kung fu, and boarded a carriage at the other end of the alley.

Nangong Li's eight guards surrounded him from different directions, and finally locked the carriage.

The coachman is not there.

The guards exchanged vigilant glances with each other, and one of the guards asked, "Who is in the carriage? Come out!"

Mu Qingchen looked at Gu Jiao beside him, and signaled her to open the hidden compartment under the car seat with his eyes.

Gu Jiao did so, and found that it was a brand new set of women's clothes, which looked like Su Xue's in style.

"If we don't come out again, we will do it!" the guard said coldly.

Gu Jiao put Su Xue's clothes on outside.

To be honest, it's a bit small, but it can barely cover up the uniforms of Tianqiong Academy.

Mu Qingchen's original intention was to let Gu Jiao change directly. He didn't know that the person next to him was a woman, so he naturally didn't think it was inconvenient to change clothes, but he didn't suspect it when he saw Gu Jiao being so rigid, he just thought that Gu Jiao understood Wrong own meaning.

He opened the curtain slightly to cover Gu Jiao appropriately, only exposing himself.

Not everyone has seen Mr. Qingchen, but he is dressed in extraordinary clothes and has an aristocratic aura, and the guards are all stunned.

Mu Qingchen revealed his identity: "I am Mu Qingchen, who are you?"

"So it's Mr. Qingchen." The guard who had shouted earlier bowed his hands and saluted, "I'm sorry."

Mr. Qingchen is famous in Shengdu. Some people may not have seen it, but there will be no one who has not heard of it.

Mu Qingchen turned against the guest: "Answer me, who are you?"

"I...we..."

The guards hesitated, Nangong Li was traveling in secret, and none of the guards wore Nangong's clothes, so he naturally didn't dare to make a claim to reveal Nangong Li's identity.

"They're mine."

Nangong Li's voice suddenly appeared at the other end of the alley.

His carriage approached slowly, and the guards gave way to both sides.

The carriage stopped ten steps away, and the driver opened the curtain for Nangong Li.

Nangong Li sat on the carriage, looking at Mu Qingchen majestically.

If you ignore the big bag on his head.

"Master Mu, long time no see."

Mu Qingchen greeted him politely but alienated: "So it's General Nangong. I heard that General Nangong was seriously injured, and he seems to be recovering well."

It is fake that he recovered well, his face was pale, it can be seen that he was enduring great pain all the time.

Nangong Libu played Tai Chi with him, and said bluntly: "I'm chasing an assassin, but the assassin disappeared when I chased here, I wonder if Mr. Qingchen saw it?"

"No." Mu Qingchen said without changing his face.

Nangong Li took a deep look at Mu Qingchen: "There seems to be another person in Mr. Mu's carriage?"

Nangong Li is a master after all, it is not difficult to hear another breath on the carriage.

Mu Qingchen said: "It's my third younger sister. She came to the inn to see me when she caught the wind and cold. I was about to send her back home."

"Oh?" Nangong Li was skeptical.

Mu Qingchen opened the curtain a little, allowing Gu Jiao to come out.

Gu Jiao parted her hair, picked a finger and tied it gently behind her head with a hair tie. She also put on a veil to cover the birthmark on her face, only revealing a pair of calm and calm eyes.

Mu Qingchen said to Gu Jiao: "It's General Nangong."

The implication is to ask Gu Jiao to give Nangong a salute.

But how could Gu Jiao salute this kind of person?

Gu Jiao looked at Nangong Li, and asked with her female voice, "Is General Nangong okay?"

The tone is a bit pulled.

Mu Qingchen almost choked!

Nangong Li has been observing Gu Jiao, but he didn't care about Mu Qingchen's astonishment.

The status of the Su family was higher than that of the Nangong family. Although Su Xue ignored him so much, Nangong Li was not happy, but he did not doubt it.

He didn't see any flaws in the end, and finally left with the guards.

After the person walked away, Mu Qingchen said to Gu Jiao as if he had seen a ghost: "You, you just..."

"Oh." Gu Jiao changed back to her youthful voice, and said without any guilt, "I love to listen to opera, and I have learned a little bit."

Hearing the familiar young voice, Mu Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief.

For a moment, he almost thought his classmate was a girl!

Mu Qingchen looked into her bright eyes, and belatedly realized that his heart was beating a little fast. He calmed down and said, "You, you don't dress like this again...it will be misunderstood, and don't use that kind of dress again." the sound of."

Gu Jiao: "You asked me to put it on."

Mu Qingchen choked.

Gu Jiao was wearing a veil, her long hair was loose, and her cold and beautiful eyes were infinitely enlarged in his eyes.

Mu Qingchen didn't dare to take another look. He hurriedly changed the subject and asked, "Why did General Nangong say you were an assassin? Did you really go to assassinate him?"

Gu Jiao said: "No, I just threw a stone at him."

Mu Qingchen asked suspiciously: "Why?"

Gu Jiao said fiercely: "Who made his son bully me? I'm angry!"

Mu Qingchen: "..."

I had insomnia all night, just took my temperature, 39°6, never had such a fever since I was a child.

These two days were supposed to save the manuscript, I don't know if I can save it.

Hope it won't be discontinued.
