Frost shines on Qingcheng
Work related
Can't remember what happened three years ago.
He jumped into the boat and asked, "Is the girl going to cross the river alone?"
"Yes."
"No."
Almost at the same time, Ling Yan and Shen Shuangzhao replied.
"Is it really?" The old man was confused by their different answers.
Shen Shuangzhao said softly to Ling Yan: "When I went to Qingcheng three years ago, I heard that there was a forest near the river in Qingcheng, and evil people often appeared in that forest. You are alone, and you don't know martial arts. , I'm afraid you will suffer."
"I was alone when I came from Qingcheng, and I didn't meet the evil person you mentioned. Maybe it's just a rumor." Ling Yan said.
Shen Shuangzhao refused to follow her, insisting on sending her to Qingcheng before giving up.Ling Yan couldn't resist her: "Okay. But you promise me that if anything happens, you will listen to me. Send me to the gate of Qingcheng City and you will return to Shuilan City, and you will not be allowed to step into Qingcheng again." She can She did not forget how much trouble Shen Shuangzhao had caused in Qingcheng before.
"I promise you." When mentioning the past, Shen Shuangzhao regretted it very much.She was young and ignorant at the time, and she did do many impulsive and wrong things.
The old man untied the rope tied to the bank, and used a long bamboo pole to push the boat away from the river bank: "Both of you, sit still—"
Both of them were silent along the way, only the old man sang alone.
"Turn across the reeds in front of you and you'll be there..." The old man's voice was loud.
Ling Yan carefully stood up from the boat and looked into the distance.When the bow turned into the reeds, Ling Yan's face suddenly turned pale.
Shen Shuangzhao naturally noticed her strangeness, frowned and asked doubtfully: "What's the matter?" As she said that, she made a gesture to stand up, but Ling Yan pushed her back very quickly.
"I saw Lan Xin and Xuemei leading a large group of people on the shore." Ling Yan also squatted down, "They must have found out that I went out of the city."
Shen Shuangzhao panicked: "What should we do? Why don't we turn around and return to Shuilan City now."
Ling Yan was also terrified, and she rejected Shen Shuangzhao's suggestion: "No. They expected that I would return to the city today, and they must have seen me just now. If I return to Shuilan City, it will only cause bigger waves. Zhao Yueyao may use this matter to stir up disputes, and a large number of people will be involved. So I have to go back." For Qiurui, she also had to go back to the city.
Shen Shuangzhao shook her head: "If you go back, Zhao Yueyao..."
"She won't do anything to me, you trust me." Ling Yan was sure of this.
"But……"
Ling Yan interrupted her: "No, but. You promised me that if something happens, you will listen to me." She thought for a while, "The most urgent thing is to hide you and prevent them from seeing you. Otherwise, you will definitely It will fall into Zhao Yueyao's hands. She has not forgotten what happened last time." But how can this Ye Xiaozhou hide?
"Hiding?" Shen Shuangzhao looked around, and then jumped into the river without hesitation.
"Shen Shuangzhao!!" Ling Yan was shocked, "What are you doing?"
Shen Shuangzhao showed her head from the water, and she was already drenched all over: "Miss Ling, it's a pity that I can't send you to Qingcheng. Since I promised you to listen to you, then I can only do this." Today Shen Shuangzhao resisted the chill, "Take care of yourself. After you and those people leave, I will go back to Shuilan City."
Ling Yan's eyes became hot, she moved her lips but couldn't say a word, she just nodded.
The old man who punted the boat listened to their conversation, and he also saw those people holding swords on the bank of Qingcheng. The formation alone was terrifying.He thought of the ingot of silver Ling Yan gave him that day, and the fear in his heart was even worse.The old man tried to turn the bow of the boat back to Shuilan City, so as to stay away from right and wrong.
Shen Shuangzhao quickly discovered the old man's intentions, and she asked, "What are you doing?"
The old man said: "I don't want to quarrel with the officers and soldiers of Qingcheng. If you want to cross the river, you can swim there by yourself."
Shen Shuangzhao stared at him, and said coldly: "I ask you, will you carry her across the river?"
"No more, no more!" The old man replied stubbornly.
Shen Shuangzhao sneered, pulled out the sword that fell on the boat, and pointed at the old man: "Isn't it? Then it's useless to keep you, why not send you to feed the fish in the river."
Now the old man was shocked, and suddenly recognized Shen Shuangzhao as the person who was said to assassinate Zhao Yueyao three years ago.In his heart, he believed that she was a cruel and merciless master, and repeatedly begged: "Please forgive me, girl, please forgive me!"
"Then you still cross the river?"
"Pass! Of course it is!"
Shen Shuangzhao then withdrew the sword: "You send this girl there, I will watch here, if you dare to play tricks, I will kill you immediately!"
The old man nodded again and again.
Shen Shuangzhao hid beside the reeds, and didn't feel relieved until she saw Ling Yan landed.I hope that no accidents will happen after Ling Yan returns.
Shen Shuangzhao's whole body was drenched, and she shivered when the wind blew.Originally, she wanted to wait for the old man to return to the voyage before she took his boat back, but she didn't want the old man to drive the boat far away and go back to the city by himself.
She gritted her teeth in anger, he must be taking revenge on herself.Probably the old man was too scared to come out today.
Anger turned into anger, Shen Shuangzhao still had to think about the most practical issue now - how should she go back.
Growing up in Shuilan City, she has good water skills, but the river is so wide, it is impossible to swim back alone, and the weather is still so cold, she was weak from the wind and cold two days ago.But she can't stay near this reed marsh for a day, can she?
After thinking about it, Shen Shuangzhao felt that with her current physical strength, she could at most swim to the river bank of Qingcheng.Then go to Qingcheng to stay outside the city for one night, and then find a way to go back to the city.There are woods there, at least you can light a fire to keep warm.
Thinking, she swam towards the shore.After finally landing on the shore, before the water on her clothes had time to wring out, she heard the sound she least wanted to hear.
"I'm really lucky. When I first arrived in Qingcheng, I picked up a drowned chicken."
It was still a charming and playful female voice, exactly the same as three years ago.Shen Shuangzhao raised her head, the first thing she saw was the pink veil.
"Shen Shuangzhao, stay safe." Lu Qingrong smiled at her.
Shen Shuangzhao's body was still dripping water, she stared at the person in front of her in a daze, only feeling that her body was getting colder.
How can it be creepy to say the same thing from Lu Qingrong's mouth?
The author has something to say: It hurts my eyes to write
☆, threat
As soon as Lu Qingrong entered Qingcheng, she saw Lan Xin and Xuemei leading the troops to rush out of the city.Driven by curiosity, she and Huanhong secretly followed.
After Ling Yan was taken away by Lan Xin, she was about to leave when she saw someone swimming towards the shore.Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Shen Shuangzhao.
Even though Shen Shuangzhao had been thinking about Lu Qingrong a lot in recent years, but now when he really appeared in front of her eyes, she couldn't get excited.On the contrary, a wave of panic came to her heart, and she turned around and wanted to run away.
Lu Qingrong was neither in a hurry nor chasing, and only looked at Huanhong from the corner of her eye. Huanhong understood, and popped out a glazed bead with a "duh" sound between her fingers, hitting Shen Shuangzhao's calf just in time.
"Ah..." Shen Shuangzhao was caught off guard by this powerful blow, her calf twitched, and she fell forward to the ground.
She tried her best to get up from the ground, and when she raised her head, she saw a pair of embroidered shoes inlaid with gold lace.She raised her head again, and what she saw was Lu Qingrong's shining eyes.
"I haven't seen you for three years, but your courage has become a lot weaker." Lu Qingrong looked at her contemptuously, and her tone was inevitably scornful, "Or is it because your memory has deteriorated, even I can't remember it."
Shen Shuangzhao felt that she had never been so embarrassed in her life, she was still lying on the ground soaked through.She stood up, but turned her gaze to another place: "Why should I remember you?"
Lu Qingrong was not annoyed either, she turned her eyes on Shen Shuangzhao's face with interest, as if she had thought of something, she grabbed Shen Shuangzhao's left hand.
"What are you doing?" Shen Shuangzhao was startled, and then struggled in horror and displeasure.
Regardless of her reluctance, Lu Qingrong still held her hand tightly.She rolled up Shen Shuangzhao's sleeves, until she saw the cute little silver bell and the thin red string wrapped around Shen Shuangzhao's white arm safely, and she showed a slightly satisfied expression.
Shen Shuangzhao tugged hard, and finally withdrew her hand.She managed to cover the things in her hands with her sleeves.
Lu Qingrong: "It seems that you still haven't found a way to untie it."
Shen Shuangzhao tried her best to make her voice sound calmer, and said in a neutral tone: "Since I met you today, I don't need to do it myself."
Lu Qingrong's peach blossom eyes sparkled with a shallow smile: "Oh? If things are really as you said, then why did you run away when you saw me just now?"
Shen Shuangzhao's expression froze, and then seemed to turn from embarrassment into anger.It turned out that the calmness he had pretended had already been full of flaws.
Seeing her like this, Lu Qingrong found it even more interesting, and said: "When did I say that I would untie the bell for you?" She approached Shen Shuangzhao aggressively, "It's all just your wishful thinking."
The cold fragrance that had not been seen for three years drifted into Shen Shuangzhao's nose silently as Lu Qingrong approached. For a moment, she was in a daze.But Shen Shuangzhao soon remembered that this cold fragrance might be mixed with ecstasy fragrance, she immediately woke up and took a few steps away from Lu Qingrong.
"Then why don't you want to untie the things in my hands, so why should I waste my time talking with you?" Shen Shuangzhao knew in her heart that this was not Shuilan City, and she was in poor health. Meeting Lu Qingrong was so difficult and unpredictable The demon girl, she must find a way to get out as soon as possible.
"Without my permission, do you think you left?" Lu Qingrong asked back, "As long as I yell a few times, Lan Xin, who just left, will find you. I heard that Ling Yan went to the water in the past few days Lancheng, I don't believe that this matter has nothing to do with you. In addition to what happened three years ago, new and old grudges, it's no wonder Zhao Yueyao didn't take your skin off."
Shen Shuangzhao hated her teeth so much, it was better to freeze to death in the water than to be entangled by this witch!
"Say, what do you want?"
Lu Qingrong clapped his hands: "Smart. Three years ago, could you have dropped a silver sword in the inner city of Qingcheng?"
"Yes." Lifting the sword, Shen Shuangzhao couldn't hide her guilt.If she had known that the sword was left to her master by her husband, she would not have lost the sword anyway, after all, it was the only thing master had for her husband.
Lu Qingrong caught her flashing guilt, and said: "As far as I know, that sword is in Zhao Yueyao's hands like the longevity lock. Do me a favor, and I can return the sword to you. Maybe even the longevity lock, I can give it to you."
Shen Shuangzhao smiled sarcastically, and said with disdain: "Who knows if what you said is true or not, it's not like I haven't seen your ability to tell nonsense before!"
The wind by the river carefully lifted a corner of Lu Qingrong's veil, and Shen Shuangzhao happened to see Lu Qingrong's upturned red lips. It was beautiful, but it made people think of bright thorn roses. Although beautiful, there were thorns.
"Shen Shuangzhao, look at your left arm."
Hearing this, Shen Shuangzhao suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. She opened her sleeves, her eyes widened, and her voice trembled: "Lu Qingrong, what is this?" A black thing, if you look carefully, you can still find it creeping forward along the meridians.
Lu Qingrong replied calmly: "This is a kind of Gu."
"Lu Qingrong!" Shen Shuangzhao once again saw the horror of this woman, it must be the hand she was checking her left hand just now.She stepped forward and grabbed Lu Qingrong's skirt, "You are a devil."
Lu Qingrong pushed her away, disgusted with her wet clothes: "If I were you, you should kneel at my feet and beg me instead of scolding me. After all, this kind of Gu worm will drill along your blood to your ventricle Among them, the last bit erodes your heart veins and makes you hang your heart to death. It only takes two days."
Shen Shuangzhao didn't feel cold any more at this moment, the cold sweat on his forehead was mixed with water and kept dripping/flowing down.
"If you don't want to die, promise me to go to the inner city to fetch something for me."
Shen Shuangzhao was desperate, she didn't feel that Lu Qingrong's words just now were her alarmist words.Lu Qingrong can say what he can do.
"what?"
Lu Qingrong evoked a smug smile, her brows were full of charm, and she whispered a few words to Shen Shuangzhao.
Shen Shuangzhao shook her head after hearing this: "I cannot agree to this request."
"you sure?"
Shen Shuangzhao shook her head firmly as she thought about it: "I don't agree."
Lu Qingrong's beautiful eyebrows frowned, regret appeared in her eyes, and even the words she said were extremely regrettable: "That's a pity. If you don't agree, you will die in two days. Shen Shuang's photo , You said you can die as soon as you die, but I feel sorry for my little bell who wants to be buried with you. Hey..." She sighed and asked Huanhong, "Huanhong, do you think my little bell is a pity?"
Huanhong said: "Of course it's a pity. This bell has been with you for more than ten years, miss. If it is going to accompany a dead person now, then the lady might as well take it down and take it away now."
Lu Qingrong made a look of sudden realization: "This is reasonable. It's just that after three years, I forgot how to untie the red rope. But it's okay, it might be easier to cut off her arm." Unable to cover her ears, she drew the sword in Huan Hong's hand.
Shen Shuangzhao felt a cold silver light flash before her eyes, and the next moment Lu Qingrong's sword pointed at her left arm, her face changed suddenly.
Lu Qingrong smiled: "Shen Shuangzhao, you must be patient."
Shen Shuangzhao clearly remembered this sentence, and Lu Qingrong also said it three years ago.It was different from now, when Lu Qingrong wanted to pull out the dagger stuck in her body.that pain...
"Wait a minute!" Shen Shuang shouted.
"Changed your mind?"
Shen Shuangzhao's expression turned cold: "I know, even if I don't fetch that thing for you, you will force others to do it for you."
"exactly."
"Since the results are the same, why should I risk my life in vain?" Shen Shuangzhao smiled wryly, she still lost to her timidity after all.
Lu Qingrong showed an impatient expression: "Yes?"
"I promised you, and you have to fulfill your promise."
"Of course. As long as you get what I want for me, I will naturally force out the Gu worms in your body. As for your sword, I will also return it to you." Lu Qingrong said.
Shen Shuangzhao breathed a sigh of relief: "It's a deal. I'll do it when it gets dark. But let me find a place to change first."
Lu Qingrong retracted the sword, and put the sword back into the scabbard with a toss: "Follow me."
---------------------------------------------------------
Shen Shuangzhao walked behind Lu Qingrong, she felt unwilling.If she meets Lu Qingrong in Shuilan City, she will definitely try her best to catch her.
"Lu Qingrong."
Lu Qingrong didn't look back, but just glanced sideways at her from the corner of her eye: "I forgot to ask you, how did you know my name?"
"..." Shen Shuangzhao didn't want to answer.
"I guess it's Ling Yan." Lu Qingrong answered herself, and then she jokingly said, "Why are you doing this? Since you want to know my name so much, just ask me face to face three years ago."
Shen Shuangzhao: "Speaking of three years ago, I would like to ask you, have you ever been to Shuilan City?"
Lu Qingrong blinked and said calmly: "No."
"No?" Shen Shuangzhao believed that she was shameless, "Do you dare to say that you have nothing to do with the murder of Li's drugstore?"
"What's Li's Pharmacy and Wang's Pharmacy? I don't know anything about it." Lu Qingrong replied lazily.
Shen Shuang was angry, but she would not admit the wrong person: "How dare you say that Jingzheng's disappearance has nothing to do with you?"
"What gold needles and silver needles? I'm almost confused by you." Lu Qingrong pretended to be crazy, "I am indeed cruel, and I have killed countless people. But I have never stepped into Shuilan City, you can't kill me because of me." People, just blame me for all the unsolved murders in Shuilan City?"
Shen Shuangzhao really wanted to refute her fiercely, but she couldn't find enough evidence.After all, all inferences are based on their own guesses.
"Even if you don't admit it, I still believe that you did it."
Lu Qingrong: "The voice of the little bell is much better than your chatter."
Today, Shen Shuangzhao's indifferent temper was once again provoked by Lu Qingrong.
The author has something to say: Shuang Zhao really doesn’t like Xiao Lu at all now>
☆, use
"As far as I know, after Ling Yan was brought back to the inner city by Zhao Yueyao's people during the day, he was put under house arrest by Zhao Yueyao in Rongyuexuan. And what I want is in the Yanyu Pavilion on the west side of Rongyuexuan." Lu Qingrong said to Shen Shuang explain.
Shen Shuangzhao put on a night suit, her long hair was tied up, and she looked much sharper.She frowned, struggling inwardly.
Lu Qingrong seemed to see through her thoughts, picked up the teacup, and said lightly: "It's too late to regret it now, Gu worms don't care about you."
Shen Shuangzhao was melancholy inwardly, rolled up her sleeves, and the black one had already reached her upper arm.From morning to now, she fell into Lu Qingrong's trap for only a short moment, so fast that she didn't even have time to figure out the whole story.
Sure enough, in front of the cunning Lu Qingrong, she was a rabbit at the mercy of others.After all, I still have little experience.
"Aren't you Zhao Yueyao's guest? If you want something, you just ask her for it. Why do you want to steal?"
Lu Qingrong took a sip of tea, and said sarcastically, "Honored guest? That was three years ago. If it wasn't for you, how could I break my face with her?"
Shen Shuangzhao was furious: "Because of me? Did I beg you to have something to do with me?"
"It's meaningless to discuss this issue again. In short, you can get the things for me, and you don't have to interfere with the rest." Lu Qingrong put the magic red sword on the table, "After you get it, go to the bamboo forest behind Rong Yuexuan Go, I will wait for you there. At that time, I will give you your sword and the antidote for the Gu worm."
"What if I miss?"
Lu Qingrong continued to smile, and said casually: "I'm not interested in rescuing a rabbit caught by a hunting dog."
Shen Shuangzhao has never seen such a bad woman: "You are really cunning. No matter how you calculate it, you will not be the one who suffers."
"The cunning rabbit has three holes. Smart people never let themselves be in a passive position. Even if the business fails, they can't let themselves lose money." Lu Qingrong looked at her, without concealing her contempt, "As for a pure and kind rabbit like you , it is better to hide in the nest that Shen Wanrong made for you, or you will lose your life sooner or later."
Shen Shuangzhao held the sword, and it took 12 points of effort to barely suppress her anger.Her face turned dark, and she stopped paying attention to Lu Qingrong.
Seeing that she had nowhere to vent her anger, Lu Qingrong held back her anger, and smiled even more: "Interesting."
As night fell, lights were lit up in the inner city, and groups of guards took turns patrolling.Relying on the memory from three years ago and Lu Qingrong telling her the location of Yanyu Pavilion, Shen Shuangzhao walked through the inner city very cautiously.
Shen Shuangzhao evaded the patrol of the guards and lurked on the roof.Hearing a sound in the house, she gently lifted a tile on the roof and looked into the house through the small hole.
"City Lord, Yan'er, I beg you, please let Qiu Rui go." Ling Yan knelt in front of Zhao Yueyao, tugging at the corner of her clothes and pleading.Qiurui's body was covered with bloodstains, and she was unconscious on the ground.
Zhao Yueyao stood proudly, with an indifferent expression, unmoved at all: "Yan'er, I wonder if you remember, I once said that if you dare to leave the inner city, Qiurui will be killed with a stick."
"Don't! City Lord, I beg you, everything is my fault. Qiurui was just forced by me to hide from you that I left the city. If you want to blame, you blame me, don't blame her." Ling Yan heard that "the stick died "Two words, his face turned pale with shock.
Zhao Yueyao sneered: "I know Qiurui is more important than anyone else to you, only by doing something to her can you really have a long memory!"
Ling Yan kept shaking her head, with tears all over her face: "City Lord, I beg you, spare Qiurui's life..."
Zhao Yueyao kept a cold face and didn't look at her.
Shen Shuangzhao's heart sank, it was the first time she saw Ling Yan so restless.She couldn't bear it, and really wanted to rush in, but then she thought that she was alone, and if she went in, she would just seek her own death, and her life would be in vain.Besides, she hadn't forgotten that she was here to steal.
Since it's stealing, it's best to take advantage of the distraction of the people inside.Shen Shuangzhao hardened her heart, got up and ran along the roof to the Yanyu Pavilion on the far left.
Yanyu Pavilion is a two-story book collection pavilion. People who like Ling Yan must often read books and play the piano here.Shen Shuangzhao jumped from the roof of a house and jumped out of the window on the second floor of Yanyu Pavilion.Standing on the tiles, she tentatively pushed the window with her hand, and the window opened as soon as she pushed.
She looked around vigilantly, and when she saw nothing unusual, she opened the window and jumped inside.
In addition to the books, there is a desk on the second floor of Yanyu Pavilion, and there are some pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the desk.Because there was no candlelight inside, Shen Shuangzhao could only grope in the darkness, looking for what Lu Qingrong wanted.
"Boom—" The door was kicked open unexpectedly, followed by guards holding torches.
Everything happened without warning, and the speed was so fast that Shen Shuangzhao was helpless.A group of guards surrounded her layer by layer, holding her up with swords.
"Shen Shuangzhao." Lan Xin looked at her, "You are so courageous, you dare to break into Qingcheng again."
Shen Shuangzhao just wanted to speak, but found that she couldn't make any sound.
-------------------------------------------------- ------
"Come here, drag this lowly servant girl out and stick her to death." Zhao Yueyao was determined to kill Qiurui, but before the guards could take Qiurui away, someone came to report from outside the door.
"City Lord, my subordinates have something important to report."
"Say."
The guard knelt on one knee: "Miss Lan Xin just caught the assassin in Yanyu Pavilion."
"Assassin?" Zhao Yueyao frowned suspiciously, "Do you know who he is?"
"According to Miss Lan Xin, that assassin is Shen Shuangzhao from Shuilan City three years ago."
Hearing this, Zhao Yueyao's eyes turned cold, and Ling Yan was almost at a loss.Shen Shuangzhao... Shouldn't she be returning to Shuilan City?
"Very good." Zhao Yueyao evoked a cruel smile, "Everyone follow me to Yanyu Pavilion."
"Then Qiurui..." Xuemei hesitated.
Zhao Yueyao glanced sharply at Ling Yan with a stiff face: "Take Qiurui and Ling Yan away." She held Ling Yan's chin, "You are getting bolder, not only dare to go out of the city privately, but also dare to Bring Shen Shuangzhao into the city."
Ling Yan shook her head in panic: "I didn't..."
"No? Even so, I don't believe that her going to the city has nothing to do with you!"
Ling Yan fell to the ground slumped, her nails dug into her palms fiercely, and things were going in a direction beyond her control.
------------------------------------------------
In the bamboo forest at night, under the faint moonlight, I saw a graceful figure standing proudly and independently.
"Miss." Huan Hong hurried over, her breath still a little unsteady.
Hearing the sound, Lu Qingrong tilted her head slightly, with her hands behind her back, and her voice was as cold as the moonlight: "Have you got the thing?"
Huanhong held the thing wrapped in cloth in her hand: "Miss, please take a look."
Lu Qingrong turned her head back, stretched out her hand to remove the white cloth, and took a closer look: "It's it. Huanhong, you can put it in the brocade box we brought."
"Yes." Huan Hong obeyed, opened the long brocade box, and put the things in it.Although the moonlight is thin, it can still be clearly seen that it is a piano.
"Let's go, Qilin and the others are still waiting for us outside the city." Lu Qingrong said.
"Yes." Huan Hong replied.
They walked out of the city from the bamboo grove behind Rongyuexuan, and when they got outside the city, they saw a covered boat leaning against the river with several men in black on it.
"Miss, shall we go back to the city or stay overnight in Qingcheng?"
Lu Qingrong said: "You can't stay overnight. If you leave Qingcheng, you can't go in again. In order to avoid being discovered by Zhao Yueyao, we walked west along the river. Although we took a long detour, we didn't have to enter Qingcheng again. We waited near Qingmen Pass , we will disembark again and go back to the city by land."
"Miss, please get on the boat, it's dewy outside." Qilin said.
After they boarded the boat, Qilin and the other two men paddled outside the boat to watch the wind.
"If you have something to say, just say it, you don't have to be hesitant to speak." Lu Qingrong said to Huanhong.
Huan Hong held back her questions, and finally had a chance to vent, so she was not polite: "Ms. Shen Shuangzhao asked Shen Shuangzhao to fetch the piano for you before, why did you let me go later?"
Lu Qingrong said unhurriedly: "From the beginning to the end, I never expected Shen Shuangzhao to get something for me. She is just a pawn of mine."
"Chess piece?" Huan Hong was even more puzzled.
"Let me ask you, do you think with Shen Shuangzhao's ability, how confident is she that she can get the Qin and hand it over to me safe and sound?"
"This... Qingcheng is heavily guarded, even if you do it yourself, it will be extremely difficult not to cause trouble..."
Lu Qingrong smiled: "So, let alone Shen Shuangzhao. Let me calculate that she has a [-]% chance of being able to do this for me. On the other hand, she still has a [-]% chance of failing."
Magic Red is still in the fog.
"Instead of looking forward to the [-]% chance of success, it would be easier for her to be completely exposed. We came at the right time, catching up with Ling Yan and offending Zhao Yueyao. If Zhao Yueyao finds out that Shen Shuangzhao broke into Rong Yuexuan again , she must be furious, and will naturally shift all her attention to Shen Shuangzhao and Ling Yan." As she expected, after Shen Shuangzhao was caught in Yanyu Pavilion, Zhao Yueyao couldn't wait to take people to Yanyu Pavilion .
"Is this a slap in the face?"
Lu Qingrong: "To some extent it is. Rong Yuexuan didn't have many guards originally, so everyone's attention was attracted by a bold assassin, so no one would pay attention to Rong Yuexuan's easternmost study room. A broken piano?"
Huanhong came to her senses: "Miss was sure that Shen Shuangzhao would be caught by Zhao Yueyao's men, so I went to the study on the east side to pick up the piano just now without much effort. Therefore, we were able to leave the city smoothly as if we were in the land of no one. "
"Not bad." Lu Qingrong lowered her eyes, looking at the tea leaves in the cup.
"Then Shen Shuangzhao..." Thinking of her, Huan Hong felt a burst of sympathy, but she was used by Lu Qingrong in such a way, and now she probably has one foot in the fire pit.
Lu Qingrong sighed, and said with both regret and sympathy: "She... I guess she is suffering and can't tell. Zhao Yueyao doesn't care whether she is forced by others or wants to come in by herself, just thinking of Shen Shuang shining in Shen Wanrong's heart Zhao Yueyao wants to crush her to ashes."
Huanhong swallowed, unable to hide the panic in her heart, once again saw Lu Qingrong's cruelty: "Then——if Shen Shuangzhao exposes you, miss, I'm afraid we will be blocked by Zhao Yueyao's people halfway."
Lu Qingrong seemed to be laughing at her unfounded worry: "I'm afraid Shen Shuangzhao won't have this chance. Do you still remember that I put Gu worms in her body? Actually, it wasn't Gu worms, it was just a kind of medicine. It will slowly change over time. Move it towards her throat to make her lose her voice. After counting the time, before Shen Shuangzhao was caught, the effect of the medicine took effect. Without my antidote, even if she survives, she will only be dumb for the rest of her life."
She paused, then continued: "What's more, take a step back and say that if she really told Zhao Yueyao about me, would Zhao Yueyao believe it? I, Lu Qingrong, have worked so hard just to get Ling Yan's broken piano?"
Before, Lu Qingrong was still worrying about how to get Ling Yan's piano, but she would meet Shen Shuangzhao by the river.That being the case, it is considered as God's favor, and she would feel sorry for herself if she didn't make good use of Shen Shuangzhao.
"How did Miss know that Shen Shuangzhao would be caught by Zhao Yueyao's men?"
Lu Qingrong poured a cup of tea, and the moonlight shone in from the outside of the boat. The moonlight made one side of her face even more seductive, her eyes sparkled, and she smiled sweetly: "I'm Lu Qingrong."
Magic Red: "..."
The author has something to say: Shen Shuangzhao is not stupid...Trust me T^T
☆, persecution
"Why do you say you are brave?" Lan Xin looked at Shen Shuangzhao and said sarcastically, "Three years ago, you dared to break into the city lord's bedroom alone. That was your fate, and the city lord is willing to spare your life; but now... even Shen Wanrong If you come forward, the city lord will not show mercy."
Shen Shuang's expression changed, and she no longer panicked at this moment, and looked at Lan Xin calmly.
"You're really not afraid at all..." Lan Xin hated her clear eyes, "Don't think that with Shen Wanrong backing you up, you can be confident, and you don't even take our city lord seriously."
Shen Shuangzhao just smiled, she never relied on Shen Wanrong's influence to do whatever she wanted.Three years ago, she wanted to take back Master's Longevity Lock from Zhao Yueyao as a gift for Master's birthday.She admitted that she didn't think well that time and thought things were simple.But other than that, she has always lived a peaceful life in Shuilan City, and rarely participated in intrigue disputes.
As for this time, thinking about it, she became annoyed again.It was Lu Qingrong again.What happened last time was also inextricably related to Lu Qingrong.
"Say it! What the hell are you trying to do this time?" Lan Xin's eyes became severe, and she questioned Shen Shuangzhao.
Shen Shuangzhao raised her head fearlessly, she ignored Lan Xin's words, but stabbed Lu Qingrong thousands of times in her heart.She can't speak, it must be Lu Qingrong's fault.
Also, before entering the Misty Rain Pavilion, she double-checked whether there were people around.Everything was normal at the time except for a few walking maids and guards.And when she just arrived in the house, so many people suddenly appeared and grabbed her, there must be something strange among them.
The answer she could think of was that they already knew that they would go to Yanyu Pavilion, so they set up an ambush inside in advance.But why did Lan Xin and others know about this?
She would go to Yanyu Pavilion because of Lu Qingrong's instigation.In a short period of time, apart from her, only Lu Qingrong and her subordinates knew about it.In this way, the only explanation is that Lan Xin is Lu Qingrong's eyeliner in Qingcheng.
The violin that Lu Qingrong wanted to let her steal from Ling Yan was probably fooling her, and there was nothing Lu Qingrong said in Yanyu Pavilion, and she really couldn't figure out what use an old violin would be to Lu Qingrong.
As for why Lu Qingrong did this, either she used herself to help her achieve other ulterior purposes, or she was just teasing herself!
Teasing... Shen Shuangzhao hated Lu Qingrong just thinking of these two words.For some reason, as long as they meet the sinister and mercurial Lu Qingrong, the other party can use various means to trick her around.
Up to now, the only thing Shen Shuangzhao was sure about was that she really couldn't believe a word of this woman Lu Qingrong, otherwise sooner or later she wouldn't even know how she died.
"Don't tell me?" Lan Xin drew out her sword and pointed at her, "Do you believe that I will cut your face a few times? By then your pretty little face will be ruined."
Shen Shuangzhao stared at her contemptuously, despising Lan Xinming's secret collusion with Lu Qingrong, and still pretending to be Zhao Yueyao's dog here.
Probably because of a guilty conscience, Lan Xin became unnaturally stared at by her, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, before the sword in her hand could fall, she heard Zhao Yueyao's voice.
"stop!"
Shen Shuang followed the sound and looked towards the door, only to see Zhao Yueyao walking over angrily, and Ling Yan was brought over by two maids.Something happened to Ling Yan after he was taken back.
And Ling Yan looked at Shen Shuangzhao who was wearing a black night suit, apart from being surprised, she was indescribably annoyed. She was clearly asked to go back to the city, why did she still come to the city, still dressed like this?
Zhao Yueyao walked up to Shen Shuangzhao, looked at her face and couldn't help frowning: "It is said that among the three disciples, Shen Wanrong loves you the most." She pinched Shen Shuangzhao's chin, curled her lips and sneered, "Before I didn't look carefully
He jumped into the boat and asked, "Is the girl going to cross the river alone?"
"Yes."
"No."
Almost at the same time, Ling Yan and Shen Shuangzhao replied.
"Is it really?" The old man was confused by their different answers.
Shen Shuangzhao said softly to Ling Yan: "When I went to Qingcheng three years ago, I heard that there was a forest near the river in Qingcheng, and evil people often appeared in that forest. You are alone, and you don't know martial arts. , I'm afraid you will suffer."
"I was alone when I came from Qingcheng, and I didn't meet the evil person you mentioned. Maybe it's just a rumor." Ling Yan said.
Shen Shuangzhao refused to follow her, insisting on sending her to Qingcheng before giving up.Ling Yan couldn't resist her: "Okay. But you promise me that if anything happens, you will listen to me. Send me to the gate of Qingcheng City and you will return to Shuilan City, and you will not be allowed to step into Qingcheng again." She can She did not forget how much trouble Shen Shuangzhao had caused in Qingcheng before.
"I promise you." When mentioning the past, Shen Shuangzhao regretted it very much.She was young and ignorant at the time, and she did do many impulsive and wrong things.
The old man untied the rope tied to the bank, and used a long bamboo pole to push the boat away from the river bank: "Both of you, sit still—"
Both of them were silent along the way, only the old man sang alone.
"Turn across the reeds in front of you and you'll be there..." The old man's voice was loud.
Ling Yan carefully stood up from the boat and looked into the distance.When the bow turned into the reeds, Ling Yan's face suddenly turned pale.
Shen Shuangzhao naturally noticed her strangeness, frowned and asked doubtfully: "What's the matter?" As she said that, she made a gesture to stand up, but Ling Yan pushed her back very quickly.
"I saw Lan Xin and Xuemei leading a large group of people on the shore." Ling Yan also squatted down, "They must have found out that I went out of the city."
Shen Shuangzhao panicked: "What should we do? Why don't we turn around and return to Shuilan City now."
Ling Yan was also terrified, and she rejected Shen Shuangzhao's suggestion: "No. They expected that I would return to the city today, and they must have seen me just now. If I return to Shuilan City, it will only cause bigger waves. Zhao Yueyao may use this matter to stir up disputes, and a large number of people will be involved. So I have to go back." For Qiurui, she also had to go back to the city.
Shen Shuangzhao shook her head: "If you go back, Zhao Yueyao..."
"She won't do anything to me, you trust me." Ling Yan was sure of this.
"But……"
Ling Yan interrupted her: "No, but. You promised me that if something happens, you will listen to me." She thought for a while, "The most urgent thing is to hide you and prevent them from seeing you. Otherwise, you will definitely It will fall into Zhao Yueyao's hands. She has not forgotten what happened last time." But how can this Ye Xiaozhou hide?
"Hiding?" Shen Shuangzhao looked around, and then jumped into the river without hesitation.
"Shen Shuangzhao!!" Ling Yan was shocked, "What are you doing?"
Shen Shuangzhao showed her head from the water, and she was already drenched all over: "Miss Ling, it's a pity that I can't send you to Qingcheng. Since I promised you to listen to you, then I can only do this." Today Shen Shuangzhao resisted the chill, "Take care of yourself. After you and those people leave, I will go back to Shuilan City."
Ling Yan's eyes became hot, she moved her lips but couldn't say a word, she just nodded.
The old man who punted the boat listened to their conversation, and he also saw those people holding swords on the bank of Qingcheng. The formation alone was terrifying.He thought of the ingot of silver Ling Yan gave him that day, and the fear in his heart was even worse.The old man tried to turn the bow of the boat back to Shuilan City, so as to stay away from right and wrong.
Shen Shuangzhao quickly discovered the old man's intentions, and she asked, "What are you doing?"
The old man said: "I don't want to quarrel with the officers and soldiers of Qingcheng. If you want to cross the river, you can swim there by yourself."
Shen Shuangzhao stared at him, and said coldly: "I ask you, will you carry her across the river?"
"No more, no more!" The old man replied stubbornly.
Shen Shuangzhao sneered, pulled out the sword that fell on the boat, and pointed at the old man: "Isn't it? Then it's useless to keep you, why not send you to feed the fish in the river."
Now the old man was shocked, and suddenly recognized Shen Shuangzhao as the person who was said to assassinate Zhao Yueyao three years ago.In his heart, he believed that she was a cruel and merciless master, and repeatedly begged: "Please forgive me, girl, please forgive me!"
"Then you still cross the river?"
"Pass! Of course it is!"
Shen Shuangzhao then withdrew the sword: "You send this girl there, I will watch here, if you dare to play tricks, I will kill you immediately!"
The old man nodded again and again.
Shen Shuangzhao hid beside the reeds, and didn't feel relieved until she saw Ling Yan landed.I hope that no accidents will happen after Ling Yan returns.
Shen Shuangzhao's whole body was drenched, and she shivered when the wind blew.Originally, she wanted to wait for the old man to return to the voyage before she took his boat back, but she didn't want the old man to drive the boat far away and go back to the city by himself.
She gritted her teeth in anger, he must be taking revenge on herself.Probably the old man was too scared to come out today.
Anger turned into anger, Shen Shuangzhao still had to think about the most practical issue now - how should she go back.
Growing up in Shuilan City, she has good water skills, but the river is so wide, it is impossible to swim back alone, and the weather is still so cold, she was weak from the wind and cold two days ago.But she can't stay near this reed marsh for a day, can she?
After thinking about it, Shen Shuangzhao felt that with her current physical strength, she could at most swim to the river bank of Qingcheng.Then go to Qingcheng to stay outside the city for one night, and then find a way to go back to the city.There are woods there, at least you can light a fire to keep warm.
Thinking, she swam towards the shore.After finally landing on the shore, before the water on her clothes had time to wring out, she heard the sound she least wanted to hear.
"I'm really lucky. When I first arrived in Qingcheng, I picked up a drowned chicken."
It was still a charming and playful female voice, exactly the same as three years ago.Shen Shuangzhao raised her head, the first thing she saw was the pink veil.
"Shen Shuangzhao, stay safe." Lu Qingrong smiled at her.
Shen Shuangzhao's body was still dripping water, she stared at the person in front of her in a daze, only feeling that her body was getting colder.
How can it be creepy to say the same thing from Lu Qingrong's mouth?
The author has something to say: It hurts my eyes to write
☆, threat
As soon as Lu Qingrong entered Qingcheng, she saw Lan Xin and Xuemei leading the troops to rush out of the city.Driven by curiosity, she and Huanhong secretly followed.
After Ling Yan was taken away by Lan Xin, she was about to leave when she saw someone swimming towards the shore.Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Shen Shuangzhao.
Even though Shen Shuangzhao had been thinking about Lu Qingrong a lot in recent years, but now when he really appeared in front of her eyes, she couldn't get excited.On the contrary, a wave of panic came to her heart, and she turned around and wanted to run away.
Lu Qingrong was neither in a hurry nor chasing, and only looked at Huanhong from the corner of her eye. Huanhong understood, and popped out a glazed bead with a "duh" sound between her fingers, hitting Shen Shuangzhao's calf just in time.
"Ah..." Shen Shuangzhao was caught off guard by this powerful blow, her calf twitched, and she fell forward to the ground.
She tried her best to get up from the ground, and when she raised her head, she saw a pair of embroidered shoes inlaid with gold lace.She raised her head again, and what she saw was Lu Qingrong's shining eyes.
"I haven't seen you for three years, but your courage has become a lot weaker." Lu Qingrong looked at her contemptuously, and her tone was inevitably scornful, "Or is it because your memory has deteriorated, even I can't remember it."
Shen Shuangzhao felt that she had never been so embarrassed in her life, she was still lying on the ground soaked through.She stood up, but turned her gaze to another place: "Why should I remember you?"
Lu Qingrong was not annoyed either, she turned her eyes on Shen Shuangzhao's face with interest, as if she had thought of something, she grabbed Shen Shuangzhao's left hand.
"What are you doing?" Shen Shuangzhao was startled, and then struggled in horror and displeasure.
Regardless of her reluctance, Lu Qingrong still held her hand tightly.She rolled up Shen Shuangzhao's sleeves, until she saw the cute little silver bell and the thin red string wrapped around Shen Shuangzhao's white arm safely, and she showed a slightly satisfied expression.
Shen Shuangzhao tugged hard, and finally withdrew her hand.She managed to cover the things in her hands with her sleeves.
Lu Qingrong: "It seems that you still haven't found a way to untie it."
Shen Shuangzhao tried her best to make her voice sound calmer, and said in a neutral tone: "Since I met you today, I don't need to do it myself."
Lu Qingrong's peach blossom eyes sparkled with a shallow smile: "Oh? If things are really as you said, then why did you run away when you saw me just now?"
Shen Shuangzhao's expression froze, and then seemed to turn from embarrassment into anger.It turned out that the calmness he had pretended had already been full of flaws.
Seeing her like this, Lu Qingrong found it even more interesting, and said: "When did I say that I would untie the bell for you?" She approached Shen Shuangzhao aggressively, "It's all just your wishful thinking."
The cold fragrance that had not been seen for three years drifted into Shen Shuangzhao's nose silently as Lu Qingrong approached. For a moment, she was in a daze.But Shen Shuangzhao soon remembered that this cold fragrance might be mixed with ecstasy fragrance, she immediately woke up and took a few steps away from Lu Qingrong.
"Then why don't you want to untie the things in my hands, so why should I waste my time talking with you?" Shen Shuangzhao knew in her heart that this was not Shuilan City, and she was in poor health. Meeting Lu Qingrong was so difficult and unpredictable The demon girl, she must find a way to get out as soon as possible.
"Without my permission, do you think you left?" Lu Qingrong asked back, "As long as I yell a few times, Lan Xin, who just left, will find you. I heard that Ling Yan went to the water in the past few days Lancheng, I don't believe that this matter has nothing to do with you. In addition to what happened three years ago, new and old grudges, it's no wonder Zhao Yueyao didn't take your skin off."
Shen Shuangzhao hated her teeth so much, it was better to freeze to death in the water than to be entangled by this witch!
"Say, what do you want?"
Lu Qingrong clapped his hands: "Smart. Three years ago, could you have dropped a silver sword in the inner city of Qingcheng?"
"Yes." Lifting the sword, Shen Shuangzhao couldn't hide her guilt.If she had known that the sword was left to her master by her husband, she would not have lost the sword anyway, after all, it was the only thing master had for her husband.
Lu Qingrong caught her flashing guilt, and said: "As far as I know, that sword is in Zhao Yueyao's hands like the longevity lock. Do me a favor, and I can return the sword to you. Maybe even the longevity lock, I can give it to you."
Shen Shuangzhao smiled sarcastically, and said with disdain: "Who knows if what you said is true or not, it's not like I haven't seen your ability to tell nonsense before!"
The wind by the river carefully lifted a corner of Lu Qingrong's veil, and Shen Shuangzhao happened to see Lu Qingrong's upturned red lips. It was beautiful, but it made people think of bright thorn roses. Although beautiful, there were thorns.
"Shen Shuangzhao, look at your left arm."
Hearing this, Shen Shuangzhao suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. She opened her sleeves, her eyes widened, and her voice trembled: "Lu Qingrong, what is this?" A black thing, if you look carefully, you can still find it creeping forward along the meridians.
Lu Qingrong replied calmly: "This is a kind of Gu."
"Lu Qingrong!" Shen Shuangzhao once again saw the horror of this woman, it must be the hand she was checking her left hand just now.She stepped forward and grabbed Lu Qingrong's skirt, "You are a devil."
Lu Qingrong pushed her away, disgusted with her wet clothes: "If I were you, you should kneel at my feet and beg me instead of scolding me. After all, this kind of Gu worm will drill along your blood to your ventricle Among them, the last bit erodes your heart veins and makes you hang your heart to death. It only takes two days."
Shen Shuangzhao didn't feel cold any more at this moment, the cold sweat on his forehead was mixed with water and kept dripping/flowing down.
"If you don't want to die, promise me to go to the inner city to fetch something for me."
Shen Shuangzhao was desperate, she didn't feel that Lu Qingrong's words just now were her alarmist words.Lu Qingrong can say what he can do.
"what?"
Lu Qingrong evoked a smug smile, her brows were full of charm, and she whispered a few words to Shen Shuangzhao.
Shen Shuangzhao shook her head after hearing this: "I cannot agree to this request."
"you sure?"
Shen Shuangzhao shook her head firmly as she thought about it: "I don't agree."
Lu Qingrong's beautiful eyebrows frowned, regret appeared in her eyes, and even the words she said were extremely regrettable: "That's a pity. If you don't agree, you will die in two days. Shen Shuang's photo , You said you can die as soon as you die, but I feel sorry for my little bell who wants to be buried with you. Hey..." She sighed and asked Huanhong, "Huanhong, do you think my little bell is a pity?"
Huanhong said: "Of course it's a pity. This bell has been with you for more than ten years, miss. If it is going to accompany a dead person now, then the lady might as well take it down and take it away now."
Lu Qingrong made a look of sudden realization: "This is reasonable. It's just that after three years, I forgot how to untie the red rope. But it's okay, it might be easier to cut off her arm." Unable to cover her ears, she drew the sword in Huan Hong's hand.
Shen Shuangzhao felt a cold silver light flash before her eyes, and the next moment Lu Qingrong's sword pointed at her left arm, her face changed suddenly.
Lu Qingrong smiled: "Shen Shuangzhao, you must be patient."
Shen Shuangzhao clearly remembered this sentence, and Lu Qingrong also said it three years ago.It was different from now, when Lu Qingrong wanted to pull out the dagger stuck in her body.that pain...
"Wait a minute!" Shen Shuang shouted.
"Changed your mind?"
Shen Shuangzhao's expression turned cold: "I know, even if I don't fetch that thing for you, you will force others to do it for you."
"exactly."
"Since the results are the same, why should I risk my life in vain?" Shen Shuangzhao smiled wryly, she still lost to her timidity after all.
Lu Qingrong showed an impatient expression: "Yes?"
"I promised you, and you have to fulfill your promise."
"Of course. As long as you get what I want for me, I will naturally force out the Gu worms in your body. As for your sword, I will also return it to you." Lu Qingrong said.
Shen Shuangzhao breathed a sigh of relief: "It's a deal. I'll do it when it gets dark. But let me find a place to change first."
Lu Qingrong retracted the sword, and put the sword back into the scabbard with a toss: "Follow me."
---------------------------------------------------------
Shen Shuangzhao walked behind Lu Qingrong, she felt unwilling.If she meets Lu Qingrong in Shuilan City, she will definitely try her best to catch her.
"Lu Qingrong."
Lu Qingrong didn't look back, but just glanced sideways at her from the corner of her eye: "I forgot to ask you, how did you know my name?"
"..." Shen Shuangzhao didn't want to answer.
"I guess it's Ling Yan." Lu Qingrong answered herself, and then she jokingly said, "Why are you doing this? Since you want to know my name so much, just ask me face to face three years ago."
Shen Shuangzhao: "Speaking of three years ago, I would like to ask you, have you ever been to Shuilan City?"
Lu Qingrong blinked and said calmly: "No."
"No?" Shen Shuangzhao believed that she was shameless, "Do you dare to say that you have nothing to do with the murder of Li's drugstore?"
"What's Li's Pharmacy and Wang's Pharmacy? I don't know anything about it." Lu Qingrong replied lazily.
Shen Shuang was angry, but she would not admit the wrong person: "How dare you say that Jingzheng's disappearance has nothing to do with you?"
"What gold needles and silver needles? I'm almost confused by you." Lu Qingrong pretended to be crazy, "I am indeed cruel, and I have killed countless people. But I have never stepped into Shuilan City, you can't kill me because of me." People, just blame me for all the unsolved murders in Shuilan City?"
Shen Shuangzhao really wanted to refute her fiercely, but she couldn't find enough evidence.After all, all inferences are based on their own guesses.
"Even if you don't admit it, I still believe that you did it."
Lu Qingrong: "The voice of the little bell is much better than your chatter."
Today, Shen Shuangzhao's indifferent temper was once again provoked by Lu Qingrong.
The author has something to say: Shuang Zhao really doesn’t like Xiao Lu at all now>
☆, use
"As far as I know, after Ling Yan was brought back to the inner city by Zhao Yueyao's people during the day, he was put under house arrest by Zhao Yueyao in Rongyuexuan. And what I want is in the Yanyu Pavilion on the west side of Rongyuexuan." Lu Qingrong said to Shen Shuang explain.
Shen Shuangzhao put on a night suit, her long hair was tied up, and she looked much sharper.She frowned, struggling inwardly.
Lu Qingrong seemed to see through her thoughts, picked up the teacup, and said lightly: "It's too late to regret it now, Gu worms don't care about you."
Shen Shuangzhao was melancholy inwardly, rolled up her sleeves, and the black one had already reached her upper arm.From morning to now, she fell into Lu Qingrong's trap for only a short moment, so fast that she didn't even have time to figure out the whole story.
Sure enough, in front of the cunning Lu Qingrong, she was a rabbit at the mercy of others.After all, I still have little experience.
"Aren't you Zhao Yueyao's guest? If you want something, you just ask her for it. Why do you want to steal?"
Lu Qingrong took a sip of tea, and said sarcastically, "Honored guest? That was three years ago. If it wasn't for you, how could I break my face with her?"
Shen Shuangzhao was furious: "Because of me? Did I beg you to have something to do with me?"
"It's meaningless to discuss this issue again. In short, you can get the things for me, and you don't have to interfere with the rest." Lu Qingrong put the magic red sword on the table, "After you get it, go to the bamboo forest behind Rong Yuexuan Go, I will wait for you there. At that time, I will give you your sword and the antidote for the Gu worm."
"What if I miss?"
Lu Qingrong continued to smile, and said casually: "I'm not interested in rescuing a rabbit caught by a hunting dog."
Shen Shuangzhao has never seen such a bad woman: "You are really cunning. No matter how you calculate it, you will not be the one who suffers."
"The cunning rabbit has three holes. Smart people never let themselves be in a passive position. Even if the business fails, they can't let themselves lose money." Lu Qingrong looked at her, without concealing her contempt, "As for a pure and kind rabbit like you , it is better to hide in the nest that Shen Wanrong made for you, or you will lose your life sooner or later."
Shen Shuangzhao held the sword, and it took 12 points of effort to barely suppress her anger.Her face turned dark, and she stopped paying attention to Lu Qingrong.
Seeing that she had nowhere to vent her anger, Lu Qingrong held back her anger, and smiled even more: "Interesting."
As night fell, lights were lit up in the inner city, and groups of guards took turns patrolling.Relying on the memory from three years ago and Lu Qingrong telling her the location of Yanyu Pavilion, Shen Shuangzhao walked through the inner city very cautiously.
Shen Shuangzhao evaded the patrol of the guards and lurked on the roof.Hearing a sound in the house, she gently lifted a tile on the roof and looked into the house through the small hole.
"City Lord, Yan'er, I beg you, please let Qiu Rui go." Ling Yan knelt in front of Zhao Yueyao, tugging at the corner of her clothes and pleading.Qiurui's body was covered with bloodstains, and she was unconscious on the ground.
Zhao Yueyao stood proudly, with an indifferent expression, unmoved at all: "Yan'er, I wonder if you remember, I once said that if you dare to leave the inner city, Qiurui will be killed with a stick."
"Don't! City Lord, I beg you, everything is my fault. Qiurui was just forced by me to hide from you that I left the city. If you want to blame, you blame me, don't blame her." Ling Yan heard that "the stick died "Two words, his face turned pale with shock.
Zhao Yueyao sneered: "I know Qiurui is more important than anyone else to you, only by doing something to her can you really have a long memory!"
Ling Yan kept shaking her head, with tears all over her face: "City Lord, I beg you, spare Qiurui's life..."
Zhao Yueyao kept a cold face and didn't look at her.
Shen Shuangzhao's heart sank, it was the first time she saw Ling Yan so restless.She couldn't bear it, and really wanted to rush in, but then she thought that she was alone, and if she went in, she would just seek her own death, and her life would be in vain.Besides, she hadn't forgotten that she was here to steal.
Since it's stealing, it's best to take advantage of the distraction of the people inside.Shen Shuangzhao hardened her heart, got up and ran along the roof to the Yanyu Pavilion on the far left.
Yanyu Pavilion is a two-story book collection pavilion. People who like Ling Yan must often read books and play the piano here.Shen Shuangzhao jumped from the roof of a house and jumped out of the window on the second floor of Yanyu Pavilion.Standing on the tiles, she tentatively pushed the window with her hand, and the window opened as soon as she pushed.
She looked around vigilantly, and when she saw nothing unusual, she opened the window and jumped inside.
In addition to the books, there is a desk on the second floor of Yanyu Pavilion, and there are some pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the desk.Because there was no candlelight inside, Shen Shuangzhao could only grope in the darkness, looking for what Lu Qingrong wanted.
"Boom—" The door was kicked open unexpectedly, followed by guards holding torches.
Everything happened without warning, and the speed was so fast that Shen Shuangzhao was helpless.A group of guards surrounded her layer by layer, holding her up with swords.
"Shen Shuangzhao." Lan Xin looked at her, "You are so courageous, you dare to break into Qingcheng again."
Shen Shuangzhao just wanted to speak, but found that she couldn't make any sound.
-------------------------------------------------- ------
"Come here, drag this lowly servant girl out and stick her to death." Zhao Yueyao was determined to kill Qiurui, but before the guards could take Qiurui away, someone came to report from outside the door.
"City Lord, my subordinates have something important to report."
"Say."
The guard knelt on one knee: "Miss Lan Xin just caught the assassin in Yanyu Pavilion."
"Assassin?" Zhao Yueyao frowned suspiciously, "Do you know who he is?"
"According to Miss Lan Xin, that assassin is Shen Shuangzhao from Shuilan City three years ago."
Hearing this, Zhao Yueyao's eyes turned cold, and Ling Yan was almost at a loss.Shen Shuangzhao... Shouldn't she be returning to Shuilan City?
"Very good." Zhao Yueyao evoked a cruel smile, "Everyone follow me to Yanyu Pavilion."
"Then Qiurui..." Xuemei hesitated.
Zhao Yueyao glanced sharply at Ling Yan with a stiff face: "Take Qiurui and Ling Yan away." She held Ling Yan's chin, "You are getting bolder, not only dare to go out of the city privately, but also dare to Bring Shen Shuangzhao into the city."
Ling Yan shook her head in panic: "I didn't..."
"No? Even so, I don't believe that her going to the city has nothing to do with you!"
Ling Yan fell to the ground slumped, her nails dug into her palms fiercely, and things were going in a direction beyond her control.
------------------------------------------------
In the bamboo forest at night, under the faint moonlight, I saw a graceful figure standing proudly and independently.
"Miss." Huan Hong hurried over, her breath still a little unsteady.
Hearing the sound, Lu Qingrong tilted her head slightly, with her hands behind her back, and her voice was as cold as the moonlight: "Have you got the thing?"
Huanhong held the thing wrapped in cloth in her hand: "Miss, please take a look."
Lu Qingrong turned her head back, stretched out her hand to remove the white cloth, and took a closer look: "It's it. Huanhong, you can put it in the brocade box we brought."
"Yes." Huan Hong obeyed, opened the long brocade box, and put the things in it.Although the moonlight is thin, it can still be clearly seen that it is a piano.
"Let's go, Qilin and the others are still waiting for us outside the city." Lu Qingrong said.
"Yes." Huan Hong replied.
They walked out of the city from the bamboo grove behind Rongyuexuan, and when they got outside the city, they saw a covered boat leaning against the river with several men in black on it.
"Miss, shall we go back to the city or stay overnight in Qingcheng?"
Lu Qingrong said: "You can't stay overnight. If you leave Qingcheng, you can't go in again. In order to avoid being discovered by Zhao Yueyao, we walked west along the river. Although we took a long detour, we didn't have to enter Qingcheng again. We waited near Qingmen Pass , we will disembark again and go back to the city by land."
"Miss, please get on the boat, it's dewy outside." Qilin said.
After they boarded the boat, Qilin and the other two men paddled outside the boat to watch the wind.
"If you have something to say, just say it, you don't have to be hesitant to speak." Lu Qingrong said to Huanhong.
Huan Hong held back her questions, and finally had a chance to vent, so she was not polite: "Ms. Shen Shuangzhao asked Shen Shuangzhao to fetch the piano for you before, why did you let me go later?"
Lu Qingrong said unhurriedly: "From the beginning to the end, I never expected Shen Shuangzhao to get something for me. She is just a pawn of mine."
"Chess piece?" Huan Hong was even more puzzled.
"Let me ask you, do you think with Shen Shuangzhao's ability, how confident is she that she can get the Qin and hand it over to me safe and sound?"
"This... Qingcheng is heavily guarded, even if you do it yourself, it will be extremely difficult not to cause trouble..."
Lu Qingrong smiled: "So, let alone Shen Shuangzhao. Let me calculate that she has a [-]% chance of being able to do this for me. On the other hand, she still has a [-]% chance of failing."
Magic Red is still in the fog.
"Instead of looking forward to the [-]% chance of success, it would be easier for her to be completely exposed. We came at the right time, catching up with Ling Yan and offending Zhao Yueyao. If Zhao Yueyao finds out that Shen Shuangzhao broke into Rong Yuexuan again , she must be furious, and will naturally shift all her attention to Shen Shuangzhao and Ling Yan." As she expected, after Shen Shuangzhao was caught in Yanyu Pavilion, Zhao Yueyao couldn't wait to take people to Yanyu Pavilion .
"Is this a slap in the face?"
Lu Qingrong: "To some extent it is. Rong Yuexuan didn't have many guards originally, so everyone's attention was attracted by a bold assassin, so no one would pay attention to Rong Yuexuan's easternmost study room. A broken piano?"
Huanhong came to her senses: "Miss was sure that Shen Shuangzhao would be caught by Zhao Yueyao's men, so I went to the study on the east side to pick up the piano just now without much effort. Therefore, we were able to leave the city smoothly as if we were in the land of no one. "
"Not bad." Lu Qingrong lowered her eyes, looking at the tea leaves in the cup.
"Then Shen Shuangzhao..." Thinking of her, Huan Hong felt a burst of sympathy, but she was used by Lu Qingrong in such a way, and now she probably has one foot in the fire pit.
Lu Qingrong sighed, and said with both regret and sympathy: "She... I guess she is suffering and can't tell. Zhao Yueyao doesn't care whether she is forced by others or wants to come in by herself, just thinking of Shen Shuang shining in Shen Wanrong's heart Zhao Yueyao wants to crush her to ashes."
Huanhong swallowed, unable to hide the panic in her heart, once again saw Lu Qingrong's cruelty: "Then——if Shen Shuangzhao exposes you, miss, I'm afraid we will be blocked by Zhao Yueyao's people halfway."
Lu Qingrong seemed to be laughing at her unfounded worry: "I'm afraid Shen Shuangzhao won't have this chance. Do you still remember that I put Gu worms in her body? Actually, it wasn't Gu worms, it was just a kind of medicine. It will slowly change over time. Move it towards her throat to make her lose her voice. After counting the time, before Shen Shuangzhao was caught, the effect of the medicine took effect. Without my antidote, even if she survives, she will only be dumb for the rest of her life."
She paused, then continued: "What's more, take a step back and say that if she really told Zhao Yueyao about me, would Zhao Yueyao believe it? I, Lu Qingrong, have worked so hard just to get Ling Yan's broken piano?"
Before, Lu Qingrong was still worrying about how to get Ling Yan's piano, but she would meet Shen Shuangzhao by the river.That being the case, it is considered as God's favor, and she would feel sorry for herself if she didn't make good use of Shen Shuangzhao.
"How did Miss know that Shen Shuangzhao would be caught by Zhao Yueyao's men?"
Lu Qingrong poured a cup of tea, and the moonlight shone in from the outside of the boat. The moonlight made one side of her face even more seductive, her eyes sparkled, and she smiled sweetly: "I'm Lu Qingrong."
Magic Red: "..."
The author has something to say: Shen Shuangzhao is not stupid...Trust me T^T
☆, persecution
"Why do you say you are brave?" Lan Xin looked at Shen Shuangzhao and said sarcastically, "Three years ago, you dared to break into the city lord's bedroom alone. That was your fate, and the city lord is willing to spare your life; but now... even Shen Wanrong If you come forward, the city lord will not show mercy."
Shen Shuang's expression changed, and she no longer panicked at this moment, and looked at Lan Xin calmly.
"You're really not afraid at all..." Lan Xin hated her clear eyes, "Don't think that with Shen Wanrong backing you up, you can be confident, and you don't even take our city lord seriously."
Shen Shuangzhao just smiled, she never relied on Shen Wanrong's influence to do whatever she wanted.Three years ago, she wanted to take back Master's Longevity Lock from Zhao Yueyao as a gift for Master's birthday.She admitted that she didn't think well that time and thought things were simple.But other than that, she has always lived a peaceful life in Shuilan City, and rarely participated in intrigue disputes.
As for this time, thinking about it, she became annoyed again.It was Lu Qingrong again.What happened last time was also inextricably related to Lu Qingrong.
"Say it! What the hell are you trying to do this time?" Lan Xin's eyes became severe, and she questioned Shen Shuangzhao.
Shen Shuangzhao raised her head fearlessly, she ignored Lan Xin's words, but stabbed Lu Qingrong thousands of times in her heart.She can't speak, it must be Lu Qingrong's fault.
Also, before entering the Misty Rain Pavilion, she double-checked whether there were people around.Everything was normal at the time except for a few walking maids and guards.And when she just arrived in the house, so many people suddenly appeared and grabbed her, there must be something strange among them.
The answer she could think of was that they already knew that they would go to Yanyu Pavilion, so they set up an ambush inside in advance.But why did Lan Xin and others know about this?
She would go to Yanyu Pavilion because of Lu Qingrong's instigation.In a short period of time, apart from her, only Lu Qingrong and her subordinates knew about it.In this way, the only explanation is that Lan Xin is Lu Qingrong's eyeliner in Qingcheng.
The violin that Lu Qingrong wanted to let her steal from Ling Yan was probably fooling her, and there was nothing Lu Qingrong said in Yanyu Pavilion, and she really couldn't figure out what use an old violin would be to Lu Qingrong.
As for why Lu Qingrong did this, either she used herself to help her achieve other ulterior purposes, or she was just teasing herself!
Teasing... Shen Shuangzhao hated Lu Qingrong just thinking of these two words.For some reason, as long as they meet the sinister and mercurial Lu Qingrong, the other party can use various means to trick her around.
Up to now, the only thing Shen Shuangzhao was sure about was that she really couldn't believe a word of this woman Lu Qingrong, otherwise sooner or later she wouldn't even know how she died.
"Don't tell me?" Lan Xin drew out her sword and pointed at her, "Do you believe that I will cut your face a few times? By then your pretty little face will be ruined."
Shen Shuangzhao stared at her contemptuously, despising Lan Xinming's secret collusion with Lu Qingrong, and still pretending to be Zhao Yueyao's dog here.
Probably because of a guilty conscience, Lan Xin became unnaturally stared at by her, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, before the sword in her hand could fall, she heard Zhao Yueyao's voice.
"stop!"
Shen Shuang followed the sound and looked towards the door, only to see Zhao Yueyao walking over angrily, and Ling Yan was brought over by two maids.Something happened to Ling Yan after he was taken back.
And Ling Yan looked at Shen Shuangzhao who was wearing a black night suit, apart from being surprised, she was indescribably annoyed. She was clearly asked to go back to the city, why did she still come to the city, still dressed like this?
Zhao Yueyao walked up to Shen Shuangzhao, looked at her face and couldn't help frowning: "It is said that among the three disciples, Shen Wanrong loves you the most." She pinched Shen Shuangzhao's chin, curled her lips and sneered, "Before I didn't look carefully
