The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Lu Xu's expression did not change, as if everything was what he expected: "I thought you were going to tell me while drinking tea, but I didn't expect you to say it first without even taking the food into your mouth."

Wen Jiuqiao smiled: "Your life and I are closely related, why should I deliberately please you?"

Lu Xu raised the bamboo leaf green in his hand: "Then what is this?"

Wen Jiu touched the hairpin pretending to be unintentional: "I just want to give you a taste."

The two returned to the room, and Lu Xu poured two cups of tea. As the tea brewed, there was a fragrance of bamboo leaves, which was very rich.

This kind of tea is also available in Beijing, but it smells a little different.

Wen Jiu stared at his face with expectation: "Try some quickly. This green bamboo leaf is extremely precious in Qingyun Mountain."

Even though there is a whole bamboo forest on the back mountain, the tea leaves are only the tenderest batch when the bamboo leaves emerge. After careful selection, each bamboo only retains some of the best ones. It's a bamboo forest, but there aren't many green bamboo leaves.

Being stared at by Wen Jiu, Lu Xu looked a little unnatural. He silently picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Why is it still a little sweet?"

None of the Bamboo Leaf Green he had drunk seemed to have this slight sweetness.

Wen Jiu smiled happily: "My mother-in-law who makes tea added this specially for me."

There are no women or servants on Qingyun Mountain, only a few boys to help.

The mother-in-law who served the tea was specially invited by the elder brother from down the mountain and paid enough.

Wen Jiu liked Bamboo Leaf Green, but thought it was too light, so he asked his mother-in-law to add crushed red dates to one of the tea leaves.

Lu Xu took another sip: "It does have the sweetness of red dates, but it doesn't cover up the fragrance of bamboo leaves."

Wen Jiu added something more to him: "Sir, let's get down to business now."

Lu Xu put down his teacup: "Why don't you tell me your opinion first."

The candles in the room were brightly lit, elongating the shadows of the two people, but no matter how they moved, they never touched each other.

Wen Jiu has made almost no progress in the case since the female ghost appeared, and he can't help but feel a little annoyed: "I'm not familiar with the place here, and it's hard to inquire. I'm afraid I'll be targeted accidentally. Now I know The thing is that not everyone in Southern Xinjiang can use Gu, and there are even fewer people who can use Heart-Eating Gu."

She continued: "Although it is a small number, there are still more than a dozen, and maybe there are still people who know it, but no one knows about it, so it may be a bit difficult to check it through the heart-eating Gu method. If possible, I want to confirm it first If the identity of the girl downstairs and that jade pendant really have any purpose, I believe it would not be hung on a woman. Unless, it should be on this girl."

"Moreover." Wen Jiu emphasized: "And this jade pendant was originally on her body, but was later taken away."

Lu Xu was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking deeply: "Wen Jiu, do you really not know why you came to southern Xinjiang?"

He could tell the secret of the dragon-patterned jade pendant, but had Wen Jiu really been honest with him?

"From what I know about you, you are not the kind of person who does whatever others say without any conditions."

There was silence in the air, and Wen Jiu lowered his head. Sure enough, nothing could be hidden from Lu Xu, but everything was her own guess.

Wen Jiu thought for a while, where should we start?

"The master doesn't let me investigate the affairs of the Prince's Mansion and wants to lure me away from the capital. This is what I am most suspicious of. The talisman in the Prince's Mansion must be related to the master."

"I originally thought about going to Southern Xinjiang. At least you are here. As long as we are together, I am sure that both of us will live well. This is one of the reasons why I agreed to come to Southern Xinjiang."

"After arriving in southern Xinjiang, I found that my senior brother always lives alone, but we usually go on missions together, and it has never been like this." "It feels like there is no silver in this place."

What's more, if the rebirth talisman in that room was not the master's intention, she would not believe that the second senior brother dared to learn this talisman privately.

But the most important thing is that she received the letter that the master sent to her senior brother that day, and she saw the content: "Dragon Vein Guardians are not allowed to leave southern Xinjiang."

Wen Jiu panicked all of a sudden. It was about the guardian of the dragon vein. Lu Xu came to take him away, but the master refused to let him leave.

If Lu Xu represented the imperial court, there would be a battle with Qingyun Mountain.

But neither the master nor the senior brother seemed to want her and Zhou Mingran to know.

Wen Jiu was so anxious that he threw out the talisman given to him by his master, attached the exact same words to it, closed the talisman, and disguised it as the letter sent by his master to his senior brother.

Qingyunshan's letter would leave traces when opened, so Wen Jiu could only do this.

In addition, in recent days, Ye Ziheng continued to go out early and come back late. Regarding the case of the female ghost, neither Lu Xu nor Lu Xu seemed willing to say more for fear of leaking something to the other party.

Obviously, Lu Xu knew the purpose of Ye Heng's trip. He might not know the specific purpose, but he must know that it was for the guardian of the dragon vein.

The two have almost no intention of joining forces.

Wen Jiu met Lu Xu's gaze and continued: "But so are you, Lu Xu. You and my senior brother seem to be worried about each other that you have revealed the secret."

Lu Xu lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"But Lu Xu, if you are worried that this female ghost is involved in your mission, or even a secret, you should solve the case. Otherwise, neither you nor my senior brother will be able to complete the mission during this trip."

"Dragon pattern jade pendant, guardian of dragon veins. It may not be unrelated."

Lu Xu then raised his eyes: "So these past few days, you have been seeing through it without saying anything? You let me and your senior brother act?"

Wen Jiu smiled slightly: "Lu Xu, I was Xiaojiu in Qingyun Mountain. When my senior brother was still there, Xiaoshi and I were just living, as long as we didn't drag him down, and we didn't do any harm."

"But I found that I can only enjoy the success if I pursue a goal. If the goals are inconsistent, I can't seem to rely on anyone, not even my senior brother."

Wen Jiu and Zhou Lingran were determined to find out the mystery of the death of the female ghost downstairs, but because it was different from what Ye Ziheng thought, there was no progress. Even though Wen Jiu had said many times, the man was not willing to take the lead. The purpose of leaving this female ghost and staying here is already obvious.

But Ye Ziheng was uncharacteristically different.

So far I have not intervened in this matter.

Lu Xu pondered for a moment and lost only four words: "I promise you."

I promise to help you find out about this matter.

Wen Jiu raised his eyes happily: "If you are willing to help me, I will definitely persuade my senior brother. Even if your goals are not the same, you can cooperate first and then go your separate ways."

Lu Xu seemed to have grasped the key point: "The goals are inconsistent?"

Wen Jiu instantly realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed his words: "I said if. If."
