Chapter 18 Arrangements in the dark
After several days of traveling and today's blow, his spirit and body were no longer able to support him. He could barely return to the inn where he lived with his energy, but he could no longer support him.
But when he really lay on the bed, his mind was unable to remain quiet, and he forced himself to sit up and walk to the window and push the window open. The cool breeze blew towards him and his body felt a little more comfortable, so he began to think again. Zhou Ruoning's idea was simple and he didn't have to take it seriously. What really made him afraid of was Mu Zhen, who was afraid that he had no idea about her. She could point the finger at Zhou Wenfeng in just a few words. If she hadn't known Zhou Wenfeng's character, she might have doubts and even more terrible consequences would have happened. It seemed that she should investigate this person clearly. With the sporadic lights on the street, she confirmed that there was no tail coming from the capital. She raised her head and looked at the rooftop and raised her voice and said, "I have something to look for you, come down." After that, she returned to the table and reached out to lift the teapot and just poured a cup of tea, a person flashed through the window just now.
Bai Jiu bowed and bowed and said, "Bai Jiu pays homage to the master. What instructions does the master call Bai Jiu to come?"
Lu Jue ignored it, picked up the teacup, drank the tea water, poured another cup, then turned his head and asked, "Why do you still have to be outside if you have a guest room?"
Bai Jiu replied: "There are too many eyeliners in Beijing, so Bai Jiu must be vigilant at all times."
Lu Jue said: "So you pulled those nails?"
"Yes," Bai Jiu quickly clasped his fists and explained: "They want to kill the master, so Bai Jiu will take his own initiative. If it disturbs the master, please ask the master to atone for his sins."
Lu Jue smiled disapprovingly. He put the teacup in his hand down and leaned against the table, raised his hand to support his forehead, glanced at the person with a squint eyes and sighed softly: "This is just a small matter, you just need to deal with it completely. I asked you to find someone for me. This person is not simple and may have a background. Although my subordinates are officials, they are inconvenient, otherwise they would not bother you."
This person is an invisible person arranged by King Luo to protect him. To be honest, he was sent to monitor his every move. Otherwise, if he had solved every case, some secret matters would be related to the situation, and King Luo would not have been able to understand everything. However, the government is not easy to interfere in this matter, and if something goes wrong, he will not be able to escape unscathed. After thinking about it, he can only choose this person.
Bai Jiu did not think about what Lu Jue meant, but just said respectfully: "Master told me."
Lu Jue has been running around for several days in a row. In addition to today's affairs, he was already exhausted. His arms that supported the table had begun to tremble slightly. He forced himself to inspire: "There is a woman named Mu Zhen in the Zhou family. I don't care what method you use to check it. I want to know who she is, what background she has, where she comes from, and what purpose was she entering the Zhou family?"
This person appeared so coincidental, and it was like a deliberate arrangement. He couldn't help but guess that this woman was not only going to deal with Zhou Wenfeng in the Zhou family, but her real purpose must be herself, otherwise she would not have talked to herself in one go.
When Bai Jiu heard this name, he was slightly stunned, and then immediately said respectfully: "Yes, Bai Jiu received the order."
Lu Jue was very tired now, so he didn't notice Bai Jiu's abnormality. He held his head and instructed again: "This woman is not simple. She may have the skills to be careful in everything."
"Yes, Bai Jiu took his leave." As soon as he received the order, he heard Lu Jue's stopping.
"etc."
"What are the master's instructions?"
Lu Jue stood up and walked to Bai Jiu with his edge, his eyes faintly chilled, and he said with a sharp tone: "What am I doing? You should have known about it for so long. I have no intention of calculating you in the past. If something goes wrong with this, I have some means to make you worse than death. I know you are trained to be afraid of death, but I promise that you will not find a chance to die at that time."
His words were so light that he could hear a hint of chill in the center of Bai Jiu's ears. It turned out that he knew in his heart what he was doing. He did not attack him, not because he was afraid of the majesty of King Luo, but because he was disdainful to do it. Bai Jiu was not a fool or a clarification. He was a dead soldier and his master's tool for his whole life. When King Luo gave him to Lu Jue, he should live and die for him.
Bai Jiu immediately knelt down and expressed his loyalty: "Bai Jiu dared not, thank the master for not having any grudges. The prince sent Bai Jiu to his master, and Bai Jiu swears to be loyal to his master to his death."
"Very good, I believe this. If you dare to have a different intention, you know the consequences. Go." Lu Jue lowered his eyelids weakly, sat back on the round stool, and was no longer willing to deal with this person. He had already said that he had weighed the pros and cons of the harsh words. He should know how to do it. If he dared to miss a word and a half, don't blame himself for cleaning up the sand in his eyes, waved his hand to him and signaled him to leave.
"Yes, Bai Jiu left." After saying that, Bai Jiu retreated to the window, came and left silently, and even the window closed quietly, as if this person had never appeared.
As soon as Bai Jiu was sent away, Lu Jue felt a burning pain in his chest. He noticed that the pain was different from before. There seemed to be a foreign object in his throat stuck there and it felt uncomfortable. When he sniffed, there was a fishy and sweet smell in his mouth. As soon as he noticed something, blood flowed down the corner of his mouth. Lu Jue subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it off, but he heard the sound of the door being opened. He looked up at his hazy eyes but couldn't see clearly.
"Young Master, Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Liu Fuling, who had completed the task, came back to report to Lu Jue and saw this scene. He didn't care about anything else and immediately stepped forward. Before he could touch his wrist, he fell down. "Young Master" Liu Fuling immediately took a few steps forward to hold Lu Jue to prevent him from falling down and getting hurt. Then he gently placed him on the ground and tried to let him lie down and make his breathing smoothly. After completing a series, he found that his face was blue and knew that the situation was not good. He knelt on one knee to take his pulse for him. Who knew that this pulse was even more worried, and his eyebrows were frowned into a knot. The person dared not move casually, so he could only let him lie on the ground first and give him a silver needle first. Then he notified Yueying to come and take care of him. He was busy adjusting the prescription and taking medicine.
After most of the night, Lu Jue's breathing gradually calmed down and his pulse became stable. The two of them helped the person to the bed to rest. It was about to dawn. Liu Fuling sent Yueying back to the room to rest, and he leaned on the table to deal with it for a while.
The young master was unwell and Liu Fuling didn't dare to leave for a while and stayed until dawn. He wanted to take advantage of Lu Jue's failure to wake up and didn't need anyone to serve him. But what happened was that early in the morning, the eldest lady of the Zhou family rushed to the inn. Not only did he make things difficult for others to do business, but he also ordered the boss's wife Yu Xianglan to ask if Lu Jue woke up. Liu Fuling held back his anger and looked at Yu Xianglan with a embarrassed look. He knew that this was all the fault of the eldest lady of the Zhou family and should not blame others, but no one would be angry about this trip. He frowned and asked, "She hasn't left yet."
Yu Xianglan shook her head and said, "No." She looked at the guest room without any movement and asked, "Young Master Lu is not awake yet?"
Liu Fuling tried to lower her voice and said angrily: "This person is too much. Yesterday she almost pissed my young master to death. What does it mean to visit again today? She has something wrong with her! She has told her that the young master is sick and cannot meet guests, so why is he still shameless and just not leaving!"
Yu Xianglan sighed helplessly and said, "Then I'll go down and report to the eldest lady."
It's not easy for him. Liu Fuling knew that his tone was a bit too heavy just now, and at this time he felt a little embarrassed and said, "I'm working hard."
"Then I'll go first." As soon as I turned around and wanted to leave, I heard the sound of opening the door. I turned my head and saw Lu Jue standing at the door with a happy expression on his face: "Young Master Lu, you are awake."
Liu Shujun was happy when he woke up, but he did not forget to wait for the young lady below who made people dream. He hurriedly walked to him and said, "Young Master, go and have a look! That young lady,,,,,,,,"
"I heard it." After saying that, he apologized to Yu Xianglan: "I'm causing trouble for you. If you can go down and tell her, I agree with her and ask her to wait for a while."
"Yes, I'll go now." Saving a problem, Yu Xianglan happily went downstairs.
After watching Yu Xianglan leave, Liu Fuling followed Lu Jue into the guest room and closed the door and asked, "How did the young master plan to deal with her." He knew that as long as Lu Jue agreed, he knew that as long as he agreed, he knew, but he had no idea, so he could only ask.
Lu Jue did not answer, picked up a white robe neatly placed on the bed and put it on his body, tied a silver palace belt around his waist. He walked to the hanger and reached out to pick up the outer shirt of the same color on it and put it on his body, and tidied out the hair that was nestled in the clothes. He sorted out his clothes and smiled gracefully, "I thought about it all the way yesterday, and I figured out some things. Let's go down and take a look." He walked out first.
"Oh" Liu Fuling heard this without a head and tail, but when she saw Lu Jue wearing a white robe, she was depressed. Didn't she say that the young lady was fine? But in this white clothes, white shoes, even half-wound hair, what does it mean? The more she thought about it, the more confused her head was like a mud, and she followed Lu Jue down in a confused manner.
In the past, there was no guest at the hall where guests were like clouds. There was only Zhou Ruoning in the empty hall. Zhou Ruoshui, who was coerced, and the maids brought by Zhou Ruoning, were Yueying sitting in confrontation with them. Although no one spoke first, the smell of gunpowder was everywhere.
Yueying was sitting there with a golden sword, staring at several people hostilely, as if she was saying who was afraid of whom.
After staring at Zhou Ruoning for a long time, Qiu Ju, the girl next to Zhou Ruoning, couldn't stand Yueying's rudeness. She pointed to Yueying who had been staring at her lady and said angrily: "Why are you so rude? Why are you staring at my lady all the time?"
Oh, I haven't argued that you are shameless, you little girl will start to quarrel. You open your mouth first, so I'm not afraid that the young master will scold me for being rude. This is called self-defense! Yueying glanced at Qiu Ju with disdain, crossed her arms and sarcastically said, "What's wrong with me? Am I a man? Will you melt after a glance? Isn't you beautiful just for people to see it? If you are really afraid of being seen, you close the door and hide at home. What kind of clothes do you do look like a flower to attract bees and butterflies! Be careful, you were photographed by the flower and sold it to the kiln!" Yesterday, I heard Liu Fuling talk about Zhou Ruoning's various behaviors, and he was really angry. Now I can see her when I talk to her here. If I had been thrown out before, it would be your turn to shout in front of her.
Qiuju said angrily: "You humiliate my lady."
Yueying widened her eyes and said, "Which ear did you hear me humiliate your lady? Did I name it or name it. You came up to find it yourself, and you blamed others for putting the guns in the wrong place."
"You, you, you" was speechless. Qiu Ju looked at the proud Yueying and her face was flushed with anger. After you had been unable to say a word. The hand pointing to Yueying was raised there and put it there was not to let it go.
Yueying stared at Qiu Ju proudly, her provocative look was full of 'Arguing you're not a quarrel'. She put her hands on her hips and added: "It's said that people from famous families know the rules, but why can't the eldest lady of the Zhou family even discipline her servants? Is there anyone pointing at the guest's nose like this? Do I want me to discipline the eldest lady for the eldest lady so that it won't make people laugh, ah!" She tilted her head, tilted her body, and looked at Zhou Ruoning with a teasing face.
"You, Miss, I'm a servant." Qiu Ju looked at Zhou Ruoning with a grievance.
"Okay." Zhou Ruoning put down the teacup and stood up and smiled, "It makes Mrs. Liu laugh. Ning'er's deep-skinned daughter is superficial and will not discipline her servants. After she returns, I will be able to discipline her own, so she will not need her wife to interfere in her affairs."
"I dare not, I just." Yueying was about to continue talking when she heard Lu Jue's stopping.
"Yueying is not allowed to be rude. The eldest lady is a well-educated daughter of a famous family. Since the eldest lady no longer cares about you, why don't you let go and not retreat?" As he spoke, he was already standing on the last step. He was wearing a white robe and flawless white, and his black hair was smooth like black satin, which made him look slender and straight, elegant, majestic and restrained.
"Yes" Yueying shook Zhou Ruoning's eyes, snorted and stepped aside.
When I saw him, I couldn't help but feel resentful when I saw him. Zhou Ruoshui looked at Lu Jue with mixed feelings. He was still the same person, but he was a slender and upright figure than five years ago, and was no longer the weak boy. His pale and bloodless face was more confident and mature. He was healthy and Zhou Ruoshui was happy from the bottom of his heart, but although this person had an engagement with him, it never belonged to him, because he saw his sister in his eyes, and he was just an optional substitute.
Zhou Ruoning was already happy when he came down. Yingying stood up and pointed to the seat beside him, smiling Ruhua and said, "Brother, please sit down."
However, Lu Jue ignored Zhou Ruoning and sat near the table near the stairs. He asked, "Miss has come early in the morning and doesn't know what's going on?"
Zhou Ruoning smiled awkwardly and stood for a moment. He walked a few steps to Lu Jue's table. He sat next to him without his consent. His eyes were gentle and his words were gentle, for fear that others would not see anything. He said, "I asked the servants to prepare the refreshments that my brother likes. This girl is very skillful, try it." He turned his head and looked at Zhou Ruoshui with a smile and said, "Xiao Ruo, come, come and give the young master a refreshment."
Zhou Ruoshui was startled and responded: "Yes." He hurriedly walked to the table with the food box and put it on gently, put it down one by one, put it on the last layer, wrapped it in a cotton cloth with exquisite embroidery, and took out the small and exquisite teapot that was still steaming. He took out two small cups and poured two cups, and the tea fragrance was everywhere. He held up the tea cup and moved it two steps, and came to Lu Jue and smiled sadly and said, "Young Master, please use tea." Zhuang Zhuang's courage to raise his eyes slightly, and saw Lu Jue also looking at him. He was panicked and lowered his head. He had not seen him yesterday.
"Thank you." Lu Jue took it with a smile and held it tightly in his hand, his eyes following Zhou Ruoshui. He was very excited and it would be clear tomorrow. Now it seems that it is exactly the same as what he guessed.
Liu Fuling is a doctor, with a sniff that is more flexible than ordinary people, and he knows that this is Lu Jue’s favorite tea. There are only a few people who know about the preparation of plum blossom tea. No one in the Zhou family knows it except the young lady. After looking at these people, he seems to understand something.
