Brother listens to orders

After a heavy rain, the weather started to get a little muggy.

Cheng Qianshu came out of the room, and when he passed by Hua Jinshuang's door, he found that the door was open, and there was a burst of sweet fragrance from the room, and Xu'er was talking to Hua Jinshuang in a low voice.

Hua Jinshuang heard her senior brother's footsteps, raised her hand and made a "stop" gesture to Xu'er, then rushed outside and said, "Senior brother? Come in and have a seat."

Cheng Qianshu stepped in. He was dressed in a black military uniform, as if he didn't feel the sweltering heat at all. His whole body was dry and his face was calm. When he entered the door, he saw Hua Jinshuang lying on his side on the imperial concubine's couch with his black hair untied. The clothes were opened wide, revealing a beautifully shaped collarbone and a large area of ​​bare skin.

Cheng Qianshu moved his eyes uncomfortably, and said, "Shuang'er is afraid of heat?"

"Fortunately," Hua Jin said, "I just don't like the sticky feeling."

Hua Jinshuang propped his chin with one hand and looked at him with great interest: "Aren't you hot, brother?"

"I'm used to it." Cheng Qianshu sat under the window, with a red belt tied around his cuffs and waist, and his long red hair was meticulously rolled up, revealing a smooth forehead, and his outline was more vigorous.He didn't explain too much, this kind of aura made Hua Jinshuang's heart flutter.

Xu'er poured tea for Cheng Qianshu and then retreated knowingly. The breeze outside the window swayed the leaves and made a slight rustling sound.

Cheng Qianshu took a sip of tea, tapped his finger on the armrest, Hua Jinshuang didn't speak, rested on his arm with his side pillow and closed his eyes; there was a subtle atmosphere between the two, and the room was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.

Cheng Qian said: "Is there any news from Wei Xiaowu?"

"Today Kang's family went to someone to confront him, and it was Lan Que." Hua Jinshuang didn't open his eyes, talking lazily.

"It seems that he can't get the answer he wants." Cheng Qian said.

"Oh." Hua Jinshuang said lazily, "He has been completely used. Kang Ningjie only thinks that he will die early, so why would he work hard on him?"

Cheng Qian said: "How do you know that he recognized Kang Ningjie with a mole?"

"It's just a guess, it's just a scam." Hua Jinshuang said, "Do you still remember what he said when we went to find our good friend Kang Ningxin?"

Cheng Qianshu thought for a while: "He said that Kang Ningxin recognized Wei Xiaowu at a glance, because Wei Xiaowu had a birthmark on one side of his ear. Also, he was scratched by that gangster on his forehead, and he had an obvious scar."

"His good friend wants Wei Xiaowu to die immediately," Hua Jinshuang opened his eyes slightly, and said, "Kang Ningxin has been with him for so many years, and for no reason, he was robbed by a child who appeared suddenly." Gone, snatched it away and lost his life. He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood."

Cheng Qianshu sighed: "Amorous feelings have been empty since ancient times, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from."

Hua Jinshuang was silent for a moment, and said: "It was his words that reminded me that we can find out what happened between Wei Xiaowu and Kang Ningxin back then, and of course Kang Ningjie can also find out. It can make Wei Xiaowu risk his life to help him , the only thing I can think of is that Kang Ningjie cheated and made Wei Xiaowu recognize the wrong person."

The descendants of the Kang family all have a mole on the back of their necks, but the position is not necessarily the same, and there will inevitably be some deviations.

But Wei Xiaowu was seriously injured back then, so he couldn't remember the exact location of the mole. Kang Ningjie only needed to make a few words, and he could find an opportunity to make Wei Xiaowu misunderstand—compared with the confession of his counterpart, there was some kind of "" mark" is obviously easier to recognize.

Cheng Qianshu understood, and sighed, "You are really smart."

Hua Jinshuang smiled: "Senior brother is very praised, you can deduce the cause and effect from a jade hairpin, and the senior brother is not bad."

Cheng Qianshu waved his hands, put down his teacup and hesitated for a moment, "After that... what are your plans?"

The original plan of the martial arts conference has been messed up. If there are ghosts in the middle, it will be unsafe for them to do anything else.Cheng Qianshu didn't ask any more questions, because he was worried that it would be inconvenient for him to know about the plan, and if he asked too many questions, it would embarrass the Hua family.

Hua Jin looked at him with her chin propped up, her eyelashes were thin and long, her black hair fell down her shoulders, lying on the couch with such an appearance, she didn't look like a real person.

Cheng Qianshu felt a little thirsty again, so he held back his hand to hold the teacup, and said, "If it's inconvenient..."

Hua Jinshuang shook her head: "It's not inconvenient, but I don't know."

"You don't know either?" Cheng Qianshu was taken aback for a moment.

"Father was in charge of contacting the martial arts conference," Hua Jinshuang said, "He is the leader of the alliance, so his influence is naturally greater than that of my brother and me, and he is more convincing. There are some things that my brother and I can't just intervene at will." , Now that the plan has been disrupted, Dad also needs time to investigate the inner ghost first, and then talk about it later."

Cheng Qianshu remembered seeing Hua Wulang and Hua Jinye discussing something earlier, and nodded understandingly.

"The original plan...?"

"The original plan was to use the cover of the martial arts conference to gather people from all walks of life and the major martial arts families. Of course, on the surface, it is still the election of the martial arts leader. Among them, those who agree with my father's ideas or the families who can become supporters will receive invitations. Come to Hua's house, it looks like a party, but in fact finalize the final plan."

Hua Jinshuang said: "During the conference, the imperial court's attention will be completely on guard against these martial arts figures in Gyeongju. My father and elder brother will take people to the capital secretly to find a way to meet the emperor."

"What?" Cheng Qianshu was stunned, "Seeing the emperor?"

"It is said that the letter sent by your father contains evidence to testify against some people in the court." Hua Jinshuang said, "I don't know the specifics. Qingzhou has long been under surveillance, and it is difficult to spread the news on weekdays. The only way to do it is to use the conference to do it." As a cover, my father can take people out of Gyeongju and send these evidences in person. Perhaps it is the only evidence that can clear up my uncle, and it must not fall into the hands of others."

Cheng Qianshu felt that something was wrong, but couldn't figure it out for a while, so he frowned and said, "What about giving it to the emperor? What can I do?"

The situation in the imperial court is more complicated than they can explain clearly. If they don’t have some connections, they might be caught in it immediately after going to the capital. This kind of approach is not so much a risk as a gift. Into the tiger's mouth.

No matter how good Hua Wulang's kung fu is, it can't stop the dark knife hidden under the conspiracy.

Hua Jinshuang said: "I also persuaded, but Dad said he has his own way."

Cheng Qian said: "What did the elder brother say?"

Hua Jin said: "Brother didn't say anything, he just said he believed in father."

Cheng Qianshu frowned deeply and stood up.

He paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, feeling that he had vaguely touched something crucial, but when he thought about it carefully, that trace of doubt disappeared without a trace and could never be found again.

He pinched the center of his eyebrows and sighed: "This matter is too reckless."

"Father has his own plan, so you don't have to worry too much." Hua Jinshuang sat up, pulled up the skirt of his clothes casually, and said, "In any case, the imperial court will not touch the Hua family. Shake, once they attack the Hua family, they will block the retreat of the Jianghu people, we people are not very easy to talk about, at worst, they will not be able to take advantage of it, and it is not worthwhile."

Cheng Qianshu nodded, and said abruptly, "What did Mr. Kang say? You agree with Uncle?"

"Naturally." Hua Jinshuang said, "If you didn't support my father, why did you let Kang Ningxin come to the martial arts conference? Thinking about it now, Mr. Kang might have noticed something from the beginning, so he didn't let Kang Ningjie participate. Unexpectedly, Kang Ningjie But he is so ruthless that he even kills his brothers."

Cheng Qianshu murmured: "No..."

Hua Jinshuang said "Huh?" "What's wrong?"

Cheng Qianshu didn't know what to say, he sat down, put his elbows on his knees, leaned his upper body slightly and made a gesture: "You said just now that the imperial court will not touch the Hua family anyway? If that's the case, what is there to be afraid of uncle? It is completely possible to ask to meet the Holy Majesty in an open and aboveboard manner, why make it so complicated?"

Hua Jinshuang looked at Cheng Qianshu for a while and said, "Maybe there are other reasons we don't know."

Cheng Qianshu snorted, looked down at the floor again, and said after a long time: "Forget it, let's take a step and take a look."

After Cheng Qianshu left, Hua Jinshuang sat on the couch and looked at the green tree crown outside the window, without moving for a long time.

I don't know how long it has passed, Hua Jinshuang hums a little tune with a nasal voice - the tune is like this Qingzhou city with the willows and greens in the south of the Yangtze River, full of vitality, gentle and soft, but also somewhat indescribably desolate and lonely .
