Chapter 244 Lord, who is the murderer (1)(1/2)
Could it be that Le Yi came here with the intention of being the spy of the Zhou Kingdom to see what the Six Nations Alliance was up to?
But why is he so opposed to Lord Mengchang? Could it be that he has other ideas, or is he simply jealous of evil and upholding orthodoxy?
There was too little information and Chen Baiqi couldn't figure it out, so he directly asked the head of Mount Penan, but Baili Peinan also said he was not sure about it.
In fact, his relationship with Le Yi is not as close as his relationship with Zhang Yi. Apart from knowing that Le Yi is from the Zhou Kingdom, he knows very little about his identity and past experience. It was he who recommended himself to enter the temple in the first place.
, and he had seen his relevant household registration documents and the recommendation letter issued by the county government, and after testing his level of etiquette and music, he recruited him to join the academy as a teacher.
However, since Le Yi is from the Zhou Kingdom...
Chen Baiqi thought for a while and said, "It seems like I have to bring it with me if I don't."
Chief Peinan knew what she meant. If she excluded Le Yi, it would inevitably arouse suspicion among the people of the Zhou Kingdom, or cause another trouble. It would be better to keep the person by her side and monitor the situation nearby to better understand the situation.
"Huanxian, I don't trust you after all." Mount Pei Nan stared at her increasingly thin face and sighed: "But once you return to Qi State, so many things happened to you. Along the way,
I have been uneasy because I am worried that you are only focusing on completing the task and pushing yourself too hard."
Although many difficult things have indeed happened, everything is going smoothly now.
Chen Baiqi pursed his lips and smiled sweetly: "I'm fine."
This smile was different from the polite smile she used to give to people in the past, and seemed a bit childish inexplicably.
Chief Peinan stretched out his hand and touched her head, with a sad smile: "You, the more you say this, the more worried I become."
Chen Baiqi stopped smiling now. She rolled her eyes and said strangely: "Shan Chief, this expression and tone now make Huanxian think of my late father who died young for some reason."
Upon hearing this, Chief Peinan's expression froze and his hands did not move for a long time.
"First, late father?"
Is he that old?
Chen Baiqi tilted his head to look at him, then shook his head and said: "Oh, looking at it this way, it doesn't look like him. My late father is not as handsome, young and gentle as the mountain leader."
Chen Baiqi's words of praise immediately made Baili Penan's ears turn red.
Chen Bai laughed: "But the way you care about Huanxian is exactly the same."
Chen Baiqi didn't know what Chen Huanxian's father was like, but Chen Bo always looked at her aggrievedly and worried about her, as if she was a child who didn't understand anything but insisted on throwing away her parents' hands and going out to explore.
He glared at her uncomfortably: "Huanxian, how can I compare with your father? You..."
Chen Baiqi chuckled and interrupted him: "It's Huanxian who has no clue. Master, don't blame me. It's so late. If ordinary people would have gone to bed long ago, Shanzhang, you have worked hard all the way, so you should rest early."
, Huanxian will leave now and won’t disturb you anymore.”
After Chen Baiqi finished teasing the mountain leader, he stood up and prepared to leave.
When Baili Peinan saw her approaching the opening and was about to open the door, he called out to her again.
"Huanxian, Lord Mengchang is very suspicious. Don't get too close to the people of Qin."
This actually shows how to persuade her and think about her.
When Chen Baiqi turned around, she also knew that Lord Mengchang was testing her in many ways tonight, trying to find out how loyal she was.
She smiled and said, "Well, disciples will pay attention."
After opening the door, Chen Baiqi closed the door for Shan Changhe.
After waiting for Chen Baiqi to leave, the surrounding air seemed to become quiet and deserted. Baili Peinan sat in the room, and for a long time Fang Fang stroked his forehead and chuckled softly.
"Immortal beauty, young and gentle...it turns out that this is how she sees me."
——
The date to go to Wei State has been arranged three days later. This is a joint decision made by Qin King Yingji and Mengchangjun after discussion. After all, both parties need some time to arrange the itinerary before departure.
Chen Baiqi did not forget what she promised to the mountain chief yesterday. She did not leave the palace. Her current position was too conspicuous and it was inconvenient to get in and out. She asked Sijiang to contact the Mohist disciples in Xianyang City on her behalf.
She went to the same remote pottery workshop in a narrow alley as before, and she asked him to leave the book and silk message she had written before he could come back.
The next day, Chen Baiqi asked Si Jiang to leave the palace again and go to the narrow alley to read the reply.
Si Jiang went and brought back a piece of bamboo.
Shangdao——The story has been told by Shangdao, please wait for the reply.
Just one line of characters, written in fine ink.
Chen Baiqi put down the slender piece of bamboo and thought deeply.
It seems that the disciple has already received the letter, but it will take some time for them to convey her letter to the elders in Guancheng City, and there will be no reply so soon.
However, Chen Baiqi is not worried about this matter, she is still sure of it.
At present, she has obtained several bodies of the dead that were thrown into the wild and buried by Qin soldiers. She found out that the Qin State did not have a formal prison cell for criminals. Generally, if the prisoners were caught and could not die, they would not have their feet and hands broken.
If they were thrown into the market, their noses and ears would be cut off, or their eyes would be pierced and they would be driven out of Xianyang City. If they were guilty of the most heinous crimes, they would be hacked to death and then thrown into the wild to feed wild animals.
So she waited and waited, and finally picked up several mutilated bodies of the dead.
In this way, she can finally refine the "Doll Potion".
This "doll potion" has a failure rate, even if she puts on the unicorn witch doctor robe and exerts its extended attributes: when the character is in the state of refining the medicine, the rate of producing the best medicine can be increased by 20%, and the rate of producing the best elixir can be increased by 2%
, but still failed several times.
She didn't know the specific failure rate, but in the end she used up all the materials and only made a bottle of "Doll Potion".
Although there was only one bottle, Chen Baiqi was still very excited.
She took out the bottle of purple-red liquid from the system and looked at it carefully.
The "Doll Potion" was packed in a cut-faced transparent crystal bottle. The bottle was very beautiful and had a gem-shaped stopper made of the same material. As soon as she pulled it out, she sniffed it. There was a faint smell inside.
I can't describe the smell. It doesn't smell like fragrant or smelly, but if you smell it for a long time, it will make you feel dizzy.
She hurriedly closed the stopper and shook the liquid inside with the crystal bottle. Originally, she planned to test the effect on someone, but she felt that it would not be easy for her to refine such a bottle of puppet potion, and she was worried.
Abandon.
The "Puppet Potion" was put back into the system, and she suddenly felt a black shadow flash outside the door. She rushed forward, opened the door quickly, and looked around, but did not find any suspicious figure.
Just under her feet, she found a leaf.
The leaves are quite fresh, as if they had just been picked.
She looked at the Albizia julibrissin tree planted in the courtyard, then picked up the leaves and looked at them from both sides.
I only saw on one side what kind of paint it was written on - it has been arranged and will be delivered tomorrow.
Although the leaf was not signed, Chen Baiqi knew who sent it when he saw the content.
She returned to the room and closed the door.
Mo Cheng pondered as he walked, thinking that tomorrow he would send the suspect who wanted to poison Juzi twelve years ago to her side. She didn't know who these people would be...
Although Chen Baiqi guessed who the visitor would be, she did not expect that she would see four familiar people outside the palace on the second day.
The visitors are Yaoma, Changren, Female and... Commander Feihu.
Chen Baiqi looked at the four of them, and for a moment he really didn't know what expression to use to face them.
Tell me, how did these four people get together?
"Huanxian." As soon as Yaoma and Changren saw her, they stepped forward with genuine joy.
The female, wearing a veil and a gorgeous dress, stood there and smiled at her.
As for the commander of the flying fox, Hu Lixiu, he has long and dull eyes, wearing a bamboo hat, standing there with a sullen expression and a lonely look on his face.
Now they were standing outside the palace gate. Because the guards said that someone was outside the palace and wanted to see her, and the report was sent to her Changsheng Garden, she took Sijiang out of the palace to meet the person.
Ying Ji must have received the news about this matter a long time ago. He probably didn't stop them from meeting because he wanted to see what the Mo family planned to do.
Chen Baiqi pretended not to know, looked at Yaoma and Changren with surprise on their faces and said, "Why are you here?"
"Lao Gong has always been worried about you, so he asked Yaoma and I to stay. I learned about you a few days ago, so we thought about it and came to see you." Uncle Chang Ren said.
"Although this move is a bit dangerous, the wanted arrest of the Mohist disciples has been removed from the city. In addition, we heard that Lord Mengchang and Mount Peinan have come to Xianyang City, so your situation must be better, so we dare to
Appear here." Yaoma said.
Chen Baiqi nodded and said with a smile: "Indeed, after the lord and the mountain chief came, the King of Qin gave him some mercy. Now Huanxian is more free."
"We're not leaving this time. If you need any help, just ask." Yaoma said.
"Yes, this is also what the two elders meant. Elder Gong and Elder Qiu intend to let us stay by your side and help you as much as possible." Chang Ren paused for a moment and then said: "They know that you are going to fight a dangerous battle.
journey."
Chen Baiqi looked grateful, but did not refuse. She said: "Actually... I will be traveling to Wei State in a few days. It would be a peace of mind if I could go with you two."
At this time, the female walked over charmingly, and she said: "It just so happens that I am also going to the Kingdom of Wei. Why don't you join my motorcade and set off together, so that we can take care of each other along the way."
Upon hearing this, Chang Ren glanced at the female and frowned slightly, but the female turned a blind eye to him and looked straight at Chen Baiqi with a smile, waiting for her answer.
Joining the female caravan... Chen Baiqi suddenly felt that this was a good suggestion.
But she couldn't make a decision in the end, so she just said: "I still need to go back and consider this matter carefully. I have a few companions to go with."
To be continued...
