Conspiracy

Chapter 188

The sky is pale, the morning light is faint, a round of red sun is slowly rising, and the cool breeze blows everything.Vendors entered the city one after another carrying their burdens, and walked along the long street paved with bluestone slabs, chatting and laughing with each other.

Soon all kinds of shouts sounded, and Su Zhen shuttled through the crowd, feeling a lot more at ease.Walking to a freshly set up open-air stall, he skillfully pulled out the wooden stool and sat down, and put the saber on the Eight Immortals table.

In the past, she and Yu Ziye often came here. The boss was an old couple who had passed their sixtieth years. They mainly made a living by selling the secret ancestral sauce-flavored cakes.

"Boss! As usual, a bowl of wontons and a secret sauce pancake!"

"Okay! Mr. Su, you came early today, we just left the stall, please wait a moment, we will come right away!"

The boss has gray hair on the temples and wrinkles on his face, but he is always cheerful and looks very kind.

"It's okay, old man, I'm in no hurry."

Su Zhen rested her chin on her right hand, tapped her left index finger on the table lightly, watched the old couple busy with work, and recalled what she learned about Li Jieyu from Mo Sheng after returning home.

He searched so thoroughly that he almost found out the eighteenth generation of Li Jieyu's ancestors, but he found nothing.

But because it was too clean, it seemed unusual.

Who hasn't missed a few things in a lifetime, but this Li Jieyu is as clean as a piece of white paper, without any stains.

If she believes it, unless grass grows on her head!
Li Jieyu's name is Li Yu, when there was a famine in her hometown in the early years, her family left their hometown, but on the way, almost everyone in the family except her died of starvation.Later, by chance, he entered the palace and climbed up step by step.But after a few years, she successfully sat on the position of female official, and was later assigned to serve in Concubine Yu's palace.

According to those court ladies, Li Jieyu is kind, humble and polite, even the empress and concubine Yu can't fault her.

Su Zhen really couldn't figure out why such a smooth person died suddenly, even the body was gone!In fact, it is not impossible to insist on being jealous, although it is a bit far-fetched.

But in the final analysis, she still felt that the reason was the porcelain doll!

So annoying, annoying, annoying!

Su Zhen buried her head in her arms irritably, and sighed several times.

"Mr. Su, the sauce pancake you want is here!"

"Well, thank you boss."

Su Zhen raised her head, and there was a plate of pancakes fried until golden brown on the table, and then spread with secret sauce, the rich aroma rushed to the face, which greatly increased people's appetite.The boss has already cut it open, picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. It is spicy but not spicy, sweet but not greasy, salty and crunchy, with chopped green onion and sesame, it has an endless aftertaste.

"Boss, a bowl of Yangchun noodles."

"Okay! Come right away!"

Su Zhen raised her head in surprise, only to see Xiao Chuhong came at some time, sitting opposite and looking at her with a smile.The clothes seemed to have been changed, but they looked no different from the ones at the palace banquet last night.He seems to be very fond of cool-colored robes, which fit him very well.

A gentleman has no reason, and jade does not go away.

Xiao Chuhong put away the jade pendant that he never left his body all year round. Two strings of black translucent jade pendants hung on the left and right sides of his belt.

Behind him was a bodyguard who did not appear at the palace banquet last night.

The man was wearing a black narrow-sleeved strong suit, holding a silver and black long sword, and a belt around his waist. In addition to hanging a dagger, he also had a palm-sized black leather bag.His hair was blue and black, tied with a silver crown.The facial features are regular, with sharp edges and corners, and the slender Ruifeng eyes give people a sense of sharpness.

"General Xiao? Why are you here?"

Su Zhen looked at the seemingly unpretentious carriage behind them. If she read correctly, this carriage should also be made of iron wood, which is the same material as the prince's painting boat.The two horses pulling the cart are brown-red, tall and strong.

The breeze blew the bamboo curtain, and Su Zhen noticed that there was only a set of purple sand tea set in the carriage, and a palm-sized black jade Buddha statue was placed on the left side of the table.

strangeness!Xiao Chuhong doesn't seem like a Buddhist believer, so why is there a Buddha statue in his carriage?
She put down her chopsticks, blinked her slender eyelashes like butterfly wings, and her black eyes were shining like two shining obsidian.

"During the palace banquet last night, Yun Shu and I made an appointment to accompany him to the poetry meeting. I just saw Mr. Su frowning in the carriage, so I came to see if there is anything I can do to help."

Su Zhen picked up the bowl with both hands, took a sip of wonton soup, "No need, just stay away from me."

King Qin had long regarded her as a thorn in his side because of Xu Jing and Killing Zun's affairs, and wished to find an opportunity to execute her immediately, Xiao Chuhong rushed to her side.

Either he wants to tell others that the two of them are together, or he thinks that death is not fast enough.

Xiao Chuhong leaned forward, and the two of them got so close that they could even feel each other's warm breath. He lowered his voice and said, "It's clear that you are the general who provoked me first, how can you treat me again in broad daylight?" I can't avoid it?"

He was born handsome, and after years of fighting on the battlefield, his breathtaking black eyes make people feel like falling into an abyss, sinking into it and unable to extricate themselves.The deep and mellow voice is even more magnetic, and it would be overwhelming for ordinary people.

"Don't make trouble." Su Zhen gave him a blank look, then looked at the spies following Xiao Chuhong, swallowed the wonton and asked, "Master General, are you free?"

"Then Zhenzhen thinks, who is more annoying, me or Shizi?"

At this moment, she felt that the elegant and handsome General Jinghong seemed to have been dropped by someone.

"My lord general, can you please stop making trouble? I have to enter the palace to do business later!"

Xiao Chuhong sat up straight, raised a playful smile, raised his eyebrows and said, "If I can help you find Li Jieyu, how can you thank me?"

Sure enough, they came prepared!It was here waiting for her.
"General, if you have a clue, tell me earlier! Come on, tell me?"

"If I say so, what good will it do me?"

Xiao Chuhong laughed at Yanyan, looked at the Yangchun noodles brought by the boss, and didn't move his chopsticks.

Su Zhen raised her eyebrows, and suddenly gave a ruffian smile, "How about waiting for me to save enough salary, General, to go to Jiyuefang to listen to the music?"

Xiao Chuhong prides herself on being a gentleman, and she will never like the Land of Love and Moon. She said casually, and guessed that he would forget about it in a short time.

Unfortunately.
"It's better to hit the sun than choose the day, let's go tonight."

"Huh? General, are you in such a hurry? But I'm a little tight lately."

Xiao Chuhong saw her eating with gusto when he came here just now, so he picked up a piece of soy sauce biscuit from her plate and tasted it. The skin was thin and crispy, salty and delicious, with a sweet and spicy taste, no wonder they often came to eat it.

"I've heard that Mr. Su is stingy a long time ago, it seems that he is really so."

She is disliked and stingy every day, but at this time, she really wants to defend herself.

"No. General Xiao. My father broke my moon silver two days ago. If I don't know how to restrain myself, why don't I tell him that I have a small treasury!"

Small coffers?The gold-selling cave is almost the same!

Xiao Chuhong looked around and raised his voice, "In that case, I will leave. If Mr. Su has made up his mind, he can come and find me anytime."

Su Zhen was stunned, why didn't this person follow the routine?Shouldn't they bargain next, and then one party compromise after some verbal disputes, and finally reach an agreement reluctantly?
