Chapter 709 An Unexpected Old Friend

Among the crowd, there were also people secretly watching the visitors from the Salvation Church.

"Here, your candied haws on a stick." Gan handed the sweet jujube skewers in his hand to Yan Qing.

"Thank you." The latter took the stick, put it to his mouth and licked it, then suddenly frowned and looked at Yuyi, "Why are you staring at me? Pay attention to the messenger of the Black Sect!"

Qian started with a funny side, "I thought lock weavers were cold and heartless, and the food they ate would be spicy, sour and salty. I didn't expect you to choose candied haws."

When he was in Gyeonggi, many people regarded Yan Qing as a poisonous killer spider, with a mixture of awe and alienation. Except for the core members, few people were willing to deal with the lock weaver.

"Ruthless? It's just that they have ghosts in their hearts." Yan Qing said indifferently, "The moths and enemies lurking in the house will naturally hope that the judges can be more merciful, but they never think of those who are because of their dereliction of duty or evil. What about the innocent people who are harmed? Sometimes I think spiders are more cute, at least they clearly tell others that they are poisonous.”

He smiled dryly and didn't answer any more.

Because Lockweaver has indeed changed a lot.

Maybe she didn't even notice it herself.

Qian searched through more than ten years of memories and could not find any footage of the other party eating candied haws in public. And with Qingjian's salary, it's impossible that she can't even afford desserts. This only shows that she may like sweets, but she hides this preference in front of everyone.

She is the supervisor and purifier of the Privy Council, and needs to establish a majestic and cold image, even if she is not naturally like this.

However, after coming to Jinxia, ​​the rulers no longer needed her to do this.

This woman now may be the real Yan Qing.

When she encounters enemies, she still shows no mercy and takes her responsibilities very seriously. However, in normal times, she can be more comfortable and share the pressure on her shoulders with more trustworthy partners.

This is also the style of Jinxia's rulers.

To be more precise, it is the style of Xia Fan, the founder of the Secretariat.

His words and deeds are gradually affecting more and more people.

Thinking of this, Qian couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. He originally thought that his performance as Hagoromo was quite satisfactory, but now it seems that his performance is not up to standard.

"What happened to you? At that moment of surprise..." Yan Qing raised her eyebrows.

"Nothing, I was just wondering if I could do better if I could do it all over again."

"For example, instead of wandering the streets all day, marry a girl and start a family?"

"Ahem -" Qian almost choked, "Does this have anything to do with what I'm talking about? And you're not like me, you're already in your thirties, and yet..."

"You and I are different," Yan Qing shrugged, "I am the one who loves you."

What?

I'm stunned, the lock weaver actually has a partner?

This is definitely shocking news that shocked all core members! Even He'er, who holds information about the Gyeonggi Province, has not mentioned it at all!

"...Who is it?" He hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.

Click.

Yan Qing suddenly bit into pieces a candied haws in his hand, and his expression became extremely surprised!

problem occurs?

Gan put the scones in his hands into his sleeves, boosted his energy, and was ready to rush towards the messenger of the Black Sect in the next moment - no matter how strong the opponent was, with Luo among the group of people gently suppressing the formation, they would not be instantly defeated. Defeated. When he and Yan Qing join the battle, they will definitely prevent the enemy from causing any trouble.

But he just turned around and froze in place.

The target didn't do anything unusual - a group of people just happened to find a specialty snack bar opened by elves, sitting at a small table in front of the store, eating exotic food from Shuzhou. I've been to that shop too, and the hot fish balls and yellow croaker belly are both delicious. Combined with Shang Shuzhou's spicy spices, I can't stop craving for them.

It can also be seen from the expression of Venerable Shengtian that this extremely refreshing taste impact is also the first time for her. Although she deliberately pretends to be calm, the surging throat still reveals her love for spicy fish balls. .

The attentive Li also noticed this, so he asked the elf shop to serve another fish ball.

This is all perfectly normal.

It’s impossible to execute the Black Sect envoy on the spot just because she ordered an extra serving of fish balls, right?

"What's going on?" Gan looked at Yan Qing in confusion, "Did you find any problem?"

The latter still stared at the man in astonishment and did not respond for a long time. It wasn't until half a quarter of an hour later that Lockweaver pinched his cheek and said in an unbelievable tone, "Do you think...where have you seen this Venerable Shengtian?"

"What?" Qian looked at the woman again and said, "If it's someone I've seen before, I can recognize it at a glance, but I really have no impression of this person. Did you see it wrong?"

Yan Qing held her chest and did not answer.

She only felt that there was a strong throbbing.

Yes, this person is undoubtedly a stranger. Maybe she was once an alchemist in the Privy Council, and she must have never interacted with the core members, but why...why is her every move completely consistent with her friends?

Yes, it was the partner she once thought was dead.

In terms of familiarity, the two of them had slept next to each other, and no one knew each other's habits better than she did. For example, when eating, the person will always put the dish under his nose and smell it, using the smell to confirm his preference. If it is a dish that she likes very much, she will always put her chopsticks into the bowl before taking the first bite, even after being promoted to Qingjian.

Yan Qing dare not say that there are other people in the world who have the same characteristics, but it is really incredible to be so similar!

Wait--

A question suddenly occurred to her.

While his partner was being escorted to Xu State, he was attacked by the Black Sect and his whereabouts remained unknown. According to the information sent back by Li and Luo Qingqing, the Salvation Cult was derived from the Black Gate Cult. They are essentially the same group of people. Isn't it possible that--

This thought made her cover her mouth involuntarily.

Her old friend is not dead!

The former Privy Councilor Qingjian is still alive!

"Hey, are you okay?" Qian patted her shoulder.

"I'm fine." Yan Qing paused and whispered her guess, "Do you think... is it possible that she is the missing Li Mengyun?"

After listening to the Lock Weaver's story, Qian was stunned.

"You mean, not only did Li Mengyun not die, but he joined the Black Sect and became one of the other party's top figures?"

"It does sound incredible, but if you think about it carefully, why are we not like this?" Yan Qing's eyes had a look that he had never seen before, "Half a year ago, someone told you that the Privy Council House would be completely collapsed, but we Will you go to a remote Yancheng and serve under Princess Guangping? "

"Uh... that's true." Hu Zha, stroking his chin, said, "Then what are you going to do? Report it to Xia Fan?"

"Don't worry, let's test it out first," Yan Qing replied, "If Venerable Shengtian is really Li Mengyun, I will definitely have a way to tell it apart."

Give me a day of rest
