Chapter 561 The Betrayer
The business is over.
The two of them stopped talking in secret and chatted about the trivial news about Di'an. The man named Huang personally sent Xu Yuan out of the Dongqin Gate of the Secret Intelligence Headquarters.
As soon as he left the house, before he could say goodbye, the man surnamed Huang saw a purple-clothed woman with a gauze-covered face walking towards the door quickly through the snow. She was also holding a big bag she bought in Huaijiu Lane. Pack small bags.
Seeing this scene, the serious man surnamed Huang showed a smile on his serious face, cupped his fists and saluted:
"Sir, Huang is busy with official duties, so it is inconvenient to send more gifts."
Xu Yuan smiled slightly and said half-jokingly:
"That's natural, but Mr. Huang needs to remind Xu Dutong that she keeps her word. This matter involves the Qin family, and I don't want to get too involved."
The big man surnamed Huang looked dumb and nodded gently.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan bowed his hands in a graceful gesture:
"Farewell."
"I won't send it."
Standing in front of the government office, the man surnamed Huang watched the carriage Xu Yuan and Bai Muxi were riding in disappearing at the end of the street, then turned around and walked slowly towards the government office.
As soon as he crossed the threshold of the Yamen, out of the corner of his eye, the man surnamed Huang caught sight of a stunning ponytail wearing a purple official uniform, waiting quietly.
The voice came, with a touch of complicated expectations:
"Brother Huang, how are you?"
The big man surnamed Huang slowly turned his eyes back, with a hint of funny endearment in his eyes. As he walked towards the Yameni, he replied in a calm tone:
"The sound array in my study room seemed to have been activated by someone just now. Someone should know what I said to him."
"."
Being exposed in person, Xu Mengxi's beautiful face looked shaky, but this was what she expected. It was strange that she couldn't notice it given Brother Huang's cultivation level.
However, she only heard the conversation inside the room using the formation, but she did not hear the conversation on the way to the study room.
Xu Mengxi slowly followed the big man named Huang and whispered back:
"I'm just curious. Brother Huang, what was the result of your voice transmission test?"
The big man surnamed Huang thought for a while, chuckled and said:
"His reaction was natural, but there was one area where he showed some flaws."
Xu Mengxi's beautiful eyes widened when she heard this, and she immediately said:
"What is it?"
"Like Xu Changtian, he likes your temperament."
"boom!"
Halfway through the words, Xu Mengxi couldn't hold back and punched the big man surnamed Huang in the waist. However, the latter stretched out his hand to catch it firmly, causing a weak wave of air to roll over the piles under the eaves. snow.
Xu Mengxi stamped his feet, a little angry:
"Brother Huang, what are you talking about! Why does that dude Xu Changtian like me?!"
"Isn't this what you told me when you came back before?"
The big man named Huang pretended to think deeply for a moment and said softly:
"What did you say at the beginning? I have forgotten the details, but it seems that Xu Changtian thinks that you are an indispensable critic in the dynasty. Doesn't this mean that he likes your temperament?"
"The point of what I said is what qualifications does Xu Changtian have to bring up this matter!"
Xu Mengxi was a little anxious, and her clear voice rose, attracting everyone's attention.
The man surnamed Huang knew that the woman in front of him was angry at this moment. He glanced at the looks from around him and simply raised his hands in surrender:
"Okay, okay, I was wrong because of my brother, but that young master just now also meant the same thing."
Having said this, he paused for a moment and smiled with tiger eyes:
"He said that in this muddy world, you are very dazzling."
"."
Xu Mengxi took a few breaths, glared at the big man named Huang, and said:
"Are there no other problems besides this?"
"As far as I can tell, there is none for the time being."
Smiling and letting go of his hand, the man surnamed Huang continued to walk forward. As he walked, he said: "If you really want to investigate him, arrest the female family member next to him and interrogate them separately to see if their confessions are consistent." better?"
Xu Mengxi lightly pursed her thin lips and whispered:
"I can't do that. After all, the young master is my benefactor. It's too offensive to touch his female family just based on my suspicion."
The big man surnamed Huang shook his head slightly, his eyes slightly complicated.
nightmare.
Little by little, the Third Young Master's actions created a nightmare in this girl's heart.
Sighing softly, the big man named Huang gently persuaded:
"Don't be too persistent, girl. Even if Xu Changtian is not dead, what can you do to him now?"
As he spoke, he reached into his arms and took out the box of rouge:
"Okay, this is what the young master gave you. You should have heard it just now, so I don't need to say more."
Xu Mengxi stared at Rouge silently for a moment, shook his head and said:
"I don't need this thing. Brother Huang should take it back and give it to his sister-in-law."
"This is what people want."
"I said no, I don't want to, let's go first."
"Damn it, girl."
The streets of Emperor's City are still as lively and noisy as ever.
Obviously, the slow spread of word of mouth among the people has not prevented the incident in Huaijiu Lane from affecting the neighborhoods near the imperial prison, but the soldiers of the City Defense Department patrolling the streets have become much stricter.
It was past noon, and the warm late winter sun was high in the sky. The white snow on both sides of the street gradually melted into dirty ice soaked in the soil.
After leaving the secret intelligence headquarters, Xu Yuan did not think about rushing back to the Prime Minister's Palace immediately.
Because he should be very eye-catching now.
Although the procedures in the Secret Investigation Department have been completed, it does not mean that no one will investigate him.
Although the second young master of the Qin family is a playboy on the surface, not many people would pay attention to his defeat by his peers, but the soul mist he spread during the fight was too strange and profound, and many people should be curious about his identity.
He ate, drank and had fun along the street market like an ordinary traveler entering the capital, while waiting for his family to pick him up.
After having lunch at the famous "Yuanweiju" in Di'an City and returning to the carriage, Xu Yuan wiped the oil stains on the corners of his lips with a brocade handkerchief, and asked Bai Muxi in a voice transmission:
"Muxi, how many tails are following us now?"
Closing the door quietly, the hustle and bustle of the street market was instantly cut off.
Bai Muxi glanced at the busy streets outside through the car window and replied softly:
"Four."
"There's one more in the time it takes to eat?"
After checking the information with Xiaobai, Xu Yuan put down the handkerchief, glanced out the window and chuckled: "I didn't expect there would be so many people following us."
As he spoke, Xu Yuan changed the subject and whispered:
"But according to the time, the people at home should have arrived. Continue walking along Feizi Street first. After crossing this street, you will reach the gathering place of the high officials in the court. It will be much quieter there, and these tails will have more concerns. It is impossible to follow so closely."
"Yes"
Xiaobai responded softly, thought for a moment, and asked hesitantly:
"Sir, don't you need me to remind them?"
"Remind?" Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Bai Muxi explained quickly:
"We have no hatred, so we found a spy to release the Qi and disperse them."
Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head:
"If the people following us were only Grandmasters, your method would work, but the problem is that there are more than Grandmasters following us."
Bai Muxi's eyebrows instantly raised:
"Is there a Yuanchu?"
Xu Yuan tapped the car window with his finger:
"Yes, the wealthy middle-aged man sitting opposite us during the meal was a Yuanchu."
Although his spiritual vision had strong penetrating power, it was limited by his cultivation and the range was not large, so he could not sense those peepers hanging far behind.
The reason why he discovered the Yuanchu was because the other party was skilled and daring, and directly disguised himself as a merchant in the snack shop and sat opposite him to eat.
"Just one?" Bai Muxi estimated in his heart.
Xu Yuan saw what Bai Muxi was thinking: "Don't make things complicated. People at home can consider this."
".Yes."
Bai Muxi immediately lowered his eyes and said, "However, why mobilize so many troops? I don't know if it is the royal family or the clan alliance?"
The forces in Di'an City are complicated, but there are only a few forces that can deploy the powerful Yuanchu in a short period of time.
Xu Yuan smiled upon hearing this and whispered:
"It could also be the Qin family. A direct descendant genius like Qin Weishu is unlikely to have only two grandmasters as guards for such a dangerous mission."
Bai Muxi's bright eyes revealed a hint of doubt, and whispered: "But you almost killed Qin Weishu before. If there was a Yuanchu strongman accompanying him, how could you not take action?"
Xu Yuan looked at Bai Muxi deeply and grinned:
"So that person's cultivation may not be just Yuanchu."
"."
A wave of fear surged in his heart, and Bai Muxi muttered in a low voice:
"Mr., could you be mistaken? Qin Weishu's Dantian was destroyed by you."
"Maybe."
Xu Yuan shrugged and replied ambiguously: "This is just a guess. Maybe there is no such person at all, or maybe they have some way to save Qin Weishu."
After that, the two of them were silent.
Xu Yuan leaned on the couch with a relaxed look on his face and drank a little wine, while Bai Muxi looked worried and alert around the carriage.
As expected, another accident happened.
The Third Young Master must have some important things to deal with after returning home, not to mention that the silly girl surnamed Ran knew about the Young Master's magical power of ghost fog.
After this happened, the woman would definitely come to find the Young Master after knowing it.
She knew that until she lost the opportunity on the carriage, what happened tonight would most likely be burned to ashes.
Her red lips were bitten by the tiger's teeth, and Bai Muxi's eyes subconsciously glanced at the clothes and decorations that the Young Master bought for her.
But it was this glance that made her black pupils shrink instantly.
She saw a white and slender jade hand opening the gift that the Young Master sold to her.
Without time to think about it, Bai Muxi's mind was instantly alert, and while running the skills, she looked up along the jade hand.
What she saw was a lotus arm wrapped in a translucent green silk sleeve, and a pair of unattainable plumpness.
"Zila——"
Accompanied by the sound of the gift box being unpacked, Bai Muxi saw the pair of emerald green snake-shaped beautiful pupils.
After looking at each other for a moment,
Snake Xin's beautiful pupils narrowed slightly.
"." Bai Muxi.
Xiaobai's body trembled, the power dissipated, and she lowered her head without saying a word.
After hesitating for a moment, she still tentatively reached out and poked the young master beside her as a reminder.
"."
Xu Yuan, who was drinking wine and humming a song, suddenly felt the movement from his legs, subconsciously turned his eyes, and then his pupils shrank.
After looking at each other for a moment,
Looking at the elder sister who was opening the gift box with interest, Xu Yuan was silent for a long time, and then smiled and said:
"Sister, why didn't you tell me you were here?"
Lou Ji glanced at Xu Yuan, her red lips slightly hooked, while spreading out the purple silk skirt in the gift box, she chuckled and said:
"Isn't it to see what trouble our third young master caused?"
While talking, Lou Ji threw the clothes to Bai Muxi and then reached out to take off one piece.
Very rude, but can't be beaten.
Looking at Lou Ji's movements, Xu Yuan slowly sat up straight, quietly flicked his hand, put all the unopened gift boxes he bought into the Xumi Ring, and said softly:
"This is not because of Bai Muxi's jealousy."
Lou Ji snorted coldly, with a hint of yin and yang:
"Of course I know it's not because of her, because Zhou Quanping's apprentice Ma, yes, he can be a hero and save his sister. It seems that our Changtian cultivation has really become higher."
Zhou Quanping, chief of the Secret Investigation Department.
With that said, Lou Ji threw away the half-opened gift box in her hand, and Bai Muxi hurriedly caught it.
Lou Ji's plump and slender legs intersected, and her high-heeled amethyst boots were swaying between her feet, and her tone was quite cold:
"If you hadn't wandered around and bought her all these messy things, how could this kind of trouble have happened? So much so that I had to make a special trip to pick you up, the young master."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan stood up, walked to Lou Ji and sat down, coughed lightly and replied:
"Sister, troubles are troubles, but the outcome is always good."
Saying that, Xu Yuan steered the topic on the right track:
"By the way, have you found out the purpose of Qin Weishu's imprisonment?"
"No."
Lou Ji crossed her arms across her chest and replied angrily: "This happened so suddenly, where can I go to investigate?"
Xu Yuan smiled sarcastically:
"Didn't we already start the layout before?"
"Has it been arranged, does it mean that it has been found out? The forces behind the Qin family are still in darkness up to now. I only know that they sent your lover with a charming soul and demon body to accompany your saint from the Supervisory Heaven Pavilion to the West Desert. While grabbing the desert goddess."
"No, you."
"It's not what it's not?"
"."Xu Yuan.
Okay, this lady looks really angry.
But Xu Yuan also knew that the old lady Lou Ji was complaining about him taking risks.
Lying down on his side and rubbing Lou Ji's shoulders, Xu Yuan asked in a low voice:
"Sister, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. But in this matter, should we get Qin Weishu out of prison, or should we use the trick to investigate his purpose?"
Lou Ji slowly sat up straight, raised her arms and opened Xu Yuan's palms that he kept kneading on her shoulders, took a deep breath to calm down, and said solemnly:
"For the time being, we should find out in the prison. Since Qin Weishu took the initiative to go to jail, he must be prepared to deal with our backhand in advance. Before we find out what this backhand is, even if we pass him through Dali Temple, we will If he operates, he may cause trouble.
"To be able to fight with you for so long, this person must be very strong. It should be very important for the Qin family to be willing to send such a legitimate son to take risks."
Speaking, Lou Ji shook her head gently:
"However, superficial techniques must still be done, otherwise unnecessary suspicion may be aroused."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked softly:
"Leave this matter to the chief surnamed Huang in the Secret Investigation Department to investigate?"
Lou Ji nodded and half-squinted her eyes:
"Changtian, you...should have told him all the information you know?"
"Um."
Xu Yuan nodded and briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter.
After listening carefully, Lou Ji's face relaxed slightly:
"That's enough. Huang Shiwei is extremely capable. With your information, he can basically handle this matter on his own."
"."
Hearing such a high evaluation, the upright figure flashed in Xu Yuan's mind, and he asked with interest:
"Sister, how did you place someone like Huang Shiwei in the Secret Investigation Department? Was it the seed that my father sowed?"
Speaking of this matter, Lou Ji snorted with unknown meaning:
“He is not a tree species, but slowly decayed bit by bit.
"For this person, we spent a lot of effort to forcibly bind him to us."
Saying,
Lou Ji seemed to remember some interesting things from the past, and glanced at Xu Yuan, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons with a smile:
"By the way, we asked Huang Shiwei to do the case of Xu Mengxi burying his benefactor with his own hands. Hehe. That man was too annoying and couldn't be assassinated, so we could only let him die in this way."
