Tyrant I am from MI9

Chapter 17

At this time, the footsteps suddenly stagnated.

A small bluestone table is placed in the depths of the plum grove, surrounded by white plum blossoms, and flowers are flying all over the sky. A man, sitting on a bamboo chair, with a loose green shirt and black hair, is caressing a vermilion flower on the stone table. Clay teapot and two tea bowls, heard Qing Xia's footsteps, raised her head slightly, the corners of her mouth smiled softly, her eyebrows and eyes were as deep as stars.

"Few people come here. The girl has been away for a long time. Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea."

Perhaps, what the world refers to as a gentleman and a gentleman is the picture in front of you.

The man in the green shirt is upright, with clear eyes and clear eyes. Against the backdrop of the sparse snow in the plum garden, he exudes a slight alienation and fresh elegance.The faint tea fragrance reverberates in the air, in fact, Qingxia does not know how to taste tea, in modern society, there are not many opportunities to sit down and drink tea with peace of mind, but for the mission, she has systematically studied Japanese For the tea ceremony, I have a general understanding of the so-called procedures.It's just that because of my mood before, I didn't want to drink wine, and I didn't taste the taste of tea carefully. Today, sitting in this white snow, under the plum trees in the garden, I have a more extraordinary heart .

He took a cup of purple clay tea from the man's hand, held it up to his nose and smelled it, and felt a fresh fragrance rushing towards his face, and he couldn't help but praise: "It smells so good!"

The man in the green shirt smiled faintly, his face was indescribably gentle and handsome.Qingxia saw the Guzheng Changxiao on the side of the stone table, and a furnace of high-quality sandalwood, the incense burner was lavender in color, it looked very delicate and compact, she secretly took her heart.On the face, he remained calm, drinking tea with peace of mind.

"Looking at the girl's attire, she doesn't look like a maid in the palace, but is she an actress from the Yingge Pavilion who just entered the palace?"

Qing Xia shook her head, the actors in Yingge Pavilion, forget it, the old emperor is half buried in the soil at his age, and he is still choosing concubines and beauties, it's really cruel.Gently blowing on the green tea in the Ou, he replied with a smile: "I'm just a passer-by, and I won't be staying here for long, and you may not see me often in the future, sir."

"So," the man didn't ask.Holding the tea pot lightly with one hand, with the other hand, lightly lit the right thigh with the index finger and middle finger.

This is an involuntary movement, and most of the time, the person doing the movement is not even aware of it.It’s like the modern special police will often wipe their waists and armpits unconsciously, because there are often hidden guns there, and actors will often pull their throats, because that is the capital of their survival.This is the same reason that prostitutes are used to smelling themselves for bad breath and body odor before going out to pick up customers.With just a light sweep, Qing Xia can conclude that there must be something important to this man usually placed there.But it can be a clear sword, or a hidden dagger, or a poisonous needle for assassination.

The young master Pianpian in the light robe is often a ferocious beast that devours people. For the more unlikely characters, Qingxia is often more vigilant, but this vigilance cannot be revealed.

"How did the girl come in? This plum garden has always been a forbidden place in the imperial palace. Has no one stopped the girl?" The man's pleasant voice sounded slowly, with a trace of reassuring charm.

Qing Xia raised her head, smiled slightly, and said with a strange expression: "No, I didn't see a single guard along the way."

Just as she was talking, the girl in red suddenly appeared from behind a plum tree. Without hiding, she opened her mouth to the man without making a sound, but the shape of her lips changed.The man nodded lightly, expressing his understanding.Qing Xia squinted twice, and knew that they used lip language, she had learned it for a while, but she was not good at proficiency, now she can't read it openly, and she doesn't know what she said.It's just that he secretly thought that Jiayun probably dismissed the guards guarding outside the plum garden in order to plot against him, otherwise he wouldn't have walked in so easily.

"It turns out that Jiayun girl is messing around. It's easy for a girl to come in, but she might be embarrassed when she goes out later. How about this, you will follow me out from the backyard later, so as not to cause trouble."

The man spoke softly and slowly.Qing Xia raised his eyes to look at this exile-like man, neither commenting nor saying thanks.The breeze was blowing, carrying the fragrance of plum blossoms all over the garden, Qing Xia raised her head slightly with her eyes closed, the corners of her mouth gently parted, and said: "This place is really beautiful, it's right to prohibit outsiders from coming, otherwise a group of people will flock in. It ruins the elegance and tranquility of this place.”

The man shook his head slowly, said with a faint smile: "This place is remote, it is said to be quiet, but in fact it is deserted. It's fine to come here once or twice, if you come often, you will be lonely. Most of the people in Chu Palace are busy. , won’t waste time on this plum garden.”

"That's right!" Qing Xia tilted her head and nodded heavily, "If you want to enjoy happiness, you must have a pure heart, and the beauty of the scenery varies from person to person."

The man seemed to be interested in talking, he looked at Qing Xia softly, and said: "I often linger here, if the girl is free, you can come here often."

"I like to be lively." The woman in cotton and white robes with bright eyes and clear eyes shook her head, "I say it nicely, but I'm actually an out-and-out vulgar person, and I often come here to add vulgarity to Mr. After saying that, he raised his neck and drank all the tea in Xiaoouli, stood up and said with a smile: "Although the tea is delicious, but I'm really thirsty, I still need cold water to quench my thirst. I won't disturb Mr. , goodbye."

"Miss is so anxious, but is there something urgent?" The man slightly raised his brows, and looked at Qing Xia calmly.

Qing Xia smiled lightly, and said: "There is no urgent matter, but if someone can't find me, I'm afraid there will be a big mess, and there will be a mess, which is not good for anyone. Although my heart is not in the palace , but you still have to put on a show. This is the sorrow of the common people, and the husband will not understand."

"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows, looked at Qing Xia meaningfully, and said lightly: "In that case, girl, please do as you please. Just be careful along the way, people in the deep palace are dangerous, so be careful when you talk to people, Girls are rare smart girls, I really hope to see her smiling face often in the future."

Every time the breeze blew past, and after walking for a long distance, Qing Xia seemed to be able to feel the soft but sharp gaze behind her, a cold sweat dripped down her forehead involuntarily, her hands and feet were almost trembling slightly, as if If it wasn't for his cleverness, he might die in this plum garden today.I don't know how many dangers I have experienced in my life, but I have never been as dangerous as before. Thinking of this, I can't help but quicken my pace.

This is an ordinary plum garden, but it has a clever arrangement of organs. This thing may be interpreted as a hint by psychologists in modern times, but Qingxia knows the huge power hidden in it.She once encountered a Chinese royal family in the UK who claimed to be descendants of the Qin people during a mission. It was a rare miss in her career as an agent, because she underestimated this simple ancient math mechanism.I didn't expect to go to a foreign time and space thousands of years ago, but to see them again.

Just now it seemed that it was only me and the man in Tsing Yi, but in fact, there were at least 200 people hidden in the surrounding plum garden.It's just who Qing Xia is, I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but later I noticed a trace of man's sweat in the air, and then I realized it.

And the sound of the flute and the zither that I heard before were all codes to guide the mute girl, not everyone can get through this math mechanism.That's why the man let him go.These people must have some kind of conspiracy here, and they don't want to be bumped into by themselves.If it wasn't for the fact that he said several times to get out of the matter, and also hinted that his disappearance would cause unnecessary trouble, he would probably have been silenced and killed.

In this imperial palace, there is going to be a big event, silently calculating the position, Qing Xia exhaled calmly, and walked out of the plum garden.

Back to the palace.Seeing that Xiangju and other servants searched for him almost upside down, they were all overjoyed to see Qingxia come back.

"Xiangju, clean every corner of the Lanting Courtyard, don't let go of any place, show me all suspicious places and suspicious things one by one, remember to find a few trustworthy servants to act secretly, don't Show your feet."

Seeing Qingxia's seriousness, Xiangju couldn't help becoming nervous.In the deep palace, there are many things that can be said and can't be explained. After ordering them quickly, all the palace people started to act secretly.

Beside the fiery charcoal brazier, several people looked palely at the thing that had been burnt to powder and fly ash by the charcoal fire, and all felt their hands and feet were icy cold.

As soon as it got dark, news of the emperor's serious illness came from the main palace. The imperial physicians from the imperial hospital knelt all over the front door of Zhengyang palace, and everyone's thoughts trembled violently as the old emperor coughed loudly inside. with.Finally, the concubine of the sacrificial courtyard walked out of the emperor's Zhengyang Palace and announced the instructions of the gods: someone secretly used witchcraft in the palace to murder the emperor and endanger the great cause of Southern Chu.

So, on this night, all the palaces and halls were searched by the imperial guards.Zhuang Qingxia, who was sitting in the Lanting Hall, knew that due to the intervention of external forces, the Southern Chu regime, which had been dominated by one family for a long time, had finally started a new round of battle for the throne.

Finding the crown prince's east palace is almost a certainty. As long as witchcraft is involved in the past dynasties, tens of thousands of people will die along with it.Although Qingxia herself is not afraid of anything, once she is investigated and dealt with, none of the servants in the Lanting Hall will be spared, but at this moment, she can only take care of herself.

Since Chu Li is not in the palace, since the last time he quarreled with Qing Xia, Chu Li has been stationed in the military camp, even if he returns to the palace, he will sit in the Yunxiang Palace for a while.The Crown Princess died of illness, and there is no one in charge in the East Palace so far, so when the imperial guards arrived, it fell into a chaotic situation.
