MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 68
Of course, Li Mingyu would not be so stupid as to think that someone else would give him such an important thing for nothing. So I asked, "What's the condition?"
"On the day I hand over the evidence to you, you only need a short while to call in the guards at the East City Gate for interrogation."
Li Mingyu froze: "You want to escape? It is absolutely impossible for me to help you escape."
The people behind sneered: "Then I won't run away, you wait for An Ruochen to treat you next, you wait for her to hand over the information to Nanqin, you wait for Long Teng's head to fall, and wait for Pingnan County to fall..."
Li Mingyu didn't speak.
"Is it a big loss to let me go, or is it a big loss to lose the entire Great Depression?"
Li Mingyu hesitated for a long time, and finally replied: "Okay. When will you give me the evidence, how will you give me the evidence, and when will I remove the guards at the city gate?"
"You first determine when you can transfer the guards, and then you go to the Dingsong Pavilion one day in advance, and take down the four bells at the corners of the pavilion. After I saw it, I will put half of the evidence in the Dingsong Pavilion the next morning. You go and get it yourself under the chair of Liuting Pavilion. At noon, you go to the east gate and remove the guards for a while. After I get out, I put the other half of the evidence under the chair of Liu Ting outside the east gate, and you take the other half. That's all."
Li Mingyu was thinking about the feasibility of this matter. He can first send someone to ambush outside Guanliu Pavilion, and after all the evidence is obtained, he can take this person down.
"If you've told anyone about this beforehand, I'm not sure if Qi An Ruochen will deal with me or you first. Her eyeliner is very powerful. If I feel the slightest bit insecure, I won't Even if I show up, I won’t hand over the evidence. Only when I leave Zhonglan safely can you get all the evidence, and that is something useful.”
Li Mingyu's heart skipped a beat, feeling that he had been seen through. He struggled and said: "Dingsong Pavilion and Guanliu Pavilion are both places recorded in the record."
"Yes, it is the place where Liu Ze used to contact. Liu Ze's case has been closed, so these places are the safest. Who would have expected that someone would take risks and then use it for contact?"
"How can I verify that the evidence you gave me is real?"
"That depends on whether you are willing to take the risk. I don't have time to verify it for you. What I want is a chance to get out of here and live. Also, I don't want An Ruochen to be proud. She kicked me away, If I want to enjoy the glory and wealth, I have become a bereaved dog, and she and the people behind her should not think about it!" The voice was full of resentment, gnashing their teeth.
Li Mingyu thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth: "Okay, I promise you."
The man behind didn't answer.
Li Mingyu waited, thinking that the other party wanted something more, but there was no sound. He turned around abruptly, only to find that there was no one behind him.
Li Mingyu's legs softened and he leaned against the wall. If it weren't for the fact that he was in this crowded street and the hawkers shouted endlessly, he really thought it was just a dream.
An Ruochen returned to Ziyun Building, saw that Long Da was not there, happily put the snack box on his table, and left.
Later, she asked the kitchen to prepare a table of food and wine, and set up a small banquet in her yard for Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan is going back to the prefect's mansion soon, and An Ruochen wants to thank him for his care and guidance during this time, and also wants to take this opportunity to ask him if there are any contacts in other counties, and asks him to find a matchmaker to help his sister talk about a foreign affair. County marriage. Although the old and the young don't chat often, they are quite speculative, and Fang Yuan readily agrees. Fang Yuan is calm and composed, good at observing his appearance but also eager to help others. An Ruochen admires and respects him both. Since she entered the Purple Cloud Building, Fang Yuan has been helping her silently, never being snobby or flattering, never looking down upon her. An Ruochen thought that it would not be as convenient to meet again soon, so she couldn't help feeling a little sad. He toasted Fang Yuan three glasses of wine.
When Long Da came, An Ruochen and Fang Yuan were laughing at an interesting incident. Moonlight, lanterns, fine wine, the atmosphere is just right.
It was An Ruochen who discovered him first, her smile was still on her face, her eyes were crooked, the corners of her mouth were turned up, and her cheeks were flushed. "General!" she yelled, her voice delicate and crisp.
Fang Yuan turned around to look, and hurriedly got up to salute. An Ruochen realized later that he got up and saluted together.
Long Da waved his hands: "Nothing, you continue to eat."
But Fang Yuan was tactful, and said politely: "It's time to end, and the general is here." Then he said to An Ruochen: "I am grateful for the hospitality of Manager An. I am grateful for what Manager An said. Remember, when we get in touch later, I will tell Manager An about it."
"Thank you very much." An Ruochen also responded politely.
Fang Yuan took his leave and left, An Ruochen stared at his back, turned his head and found Long Da staring at her.
She hurriedly waved at Long: "Has the general finished his meal? I'll ask someone to change the table and chopsticks, let's eat some more."
"Don't eat." Long Da walked out with his hands behind his back. "Let's go."
Walking to the gate of the courtyard and looking back, he found that An Ruochen was still standing there, he raised his eyebrows: "Let's go."
"Oh." An Ruochen quickly followed, it turned out that "Zou Zou" meant to let her walk together, it didn't mean that he came here because of "Zu Zou" passing by. An Ruochen unconsciously followed Long Da's way of walking with his hands behind his back. Therefore, it is difficult to guess the general's mind, and it is really not good to be too concise.
"Every time I come home late, I see someone drinking and talking with you." Long Da suddenly said after walking for a while.
An Ruochen shook his head and shook his head: "How can it be, the general returns late so many times, and the number of times he doesn't come back is also many times, it's just a coincidence that he ran into him twice."
After drinking, she seemed to be in a good mood. Long Da almost reached out to help her, fearing that she would fall, he raised his hand slightly and then retracted it. It's better to keep his hands behind his back.
"Whenever the general is free, let's have a drink and chat together."
Long Daguaner: "You are so drunk that you have the courage to invite me like this?"
"Yes." An Ruochen nodded, then shook her head again: "I'm not drunk." She wanted to jump up and down again, looked at Long Da, and saw how steadily the general walked, so she should also be careful.
"General, why do you like to look at the ground when you walk." An Ruochen looked down, there was nothing to see on the road. "The roads have been repaired, so there will be no stumbling."
"I don't like drinking." Long Da changed the subject.
"Why?" An Ruochen turned to look at him and asked.
The transfer was successful, Long Da smiled and replied: "After drinking, I will have a headache."
"Ah?" An Ruochen stopped.
Long Da also stopped, "What?"
"It doesn't mean that there are banquets for the celebration of the three armies, there are oaths poured into wine before the battle, there are banquets given by the emperor, and there are official entertainments. Don't you have to drink them all? It will give you a headache several times."
The way she cares about it is really cute. Long laughed loudly: "Just endure the pain. It hurts even if you practice martial arts hard, kill enemies and get injured. What's the matter?"
"Oh." An Ruochen continued to walk with her hands behind her back, and couldn't help but ask again after walking for a while, "So what's so interesting on the ground?"
"How do you know the roads are smooth?"
"I walk every day." In order to figure out where to secretly hide the note and pass on the information, she searched all over Ziyun Building.
"Although I don't like drinking, I like soup." Long Da changed the subject.
"Oh." An Ruochen was still studying the floor tiles.
"Don't ask why?"
"Why?" She is really an obedient manager.
"Because I eat a lot of dry food when I am marching or fighting, sometimes I can't even drink water, so I like to drink soup."
"Okay." Then she asked the kitchen to make more soup for the general in the future. "So where is the best place on the ground?"
Long Da laughed out loud. If she drinks two more glasses, she will really get into a dead end. "Then take a look, and let me know if you see anything special."
"Okay." She was looking, but she didn't see anything. What else but shadows, fallen leaves, dust?
Long Da stood shoulder to shoulder with her. The two walked in silence for a while.
Then An Ruochen suddenly remembered: "Why is the general looking for me?"
"I can't find you if I have nothing to do?"
"Yes." I couldn't help but jumped again, she was so happy that the general came to find her.
"I found a box of pastries when I got back to the house."
"..." An Ruochen couldn't jump up.
"I don't know who left it behind." Long Da said intentionally, seeing An Ruochen's blushing blushing brows with a little embarrassment, he said with a serious face, "I asked the guards, and the guards said that only Steward An sneaked in."
This time An Ruochen jumped up: "There's no sneaking around, I'm aboveboard." When she went in, she still raised her head and puffed her chest out in a calm manner.
"At least leave a word."
An Ruochen's face was burning hot: "Isn't this quite clear? If you put the dim sum in, it's for the general to eat. The guards saw it, so I put it in. The general thought it tasted good, so it was delicious."
"Manager An." Long stared at her, "I don't know the origin of this snack, where did you get it, how much is it, has it been transferred by someone, has someone stolen it, why you brought it, what result do you want, But there is a time limit, what stuffing, sweet and salty, should I eat it alone or let me share it with my colleagues..."
An Ruochen's face collapsed, General, are you serious?
Long Da said seriously: "You should leave a word."
An Ruochen opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a moment.
Long Da said gently, "You can say, obey."
"As ordered." An Ruochen responded obediently, paused and added two words, "General."
"So just make up the note when you get back." Long Da smiled.
This smile made the spring breeze blow on her face, and the green grass was fragrant. An Ruochen really couldn't say "no". She even started to think about how to write this note in her mind.
In the end, I wrote this note four times.
The first time I thought it would be good to write according to what the general said, where to buy something, what kind of stuffing, what can’t be broken after two days, writing and writing, I felt that I was too perfunctory.
So I tore it up and rewrote it again, this time with more emotion. She wrote a thank you to General Long, thanking him for saving her life, for patiently cultivating and taking care of her, and for helping her find her younger sister. She is doing well now, better informed, has business to do, has like-minded friends, and is able to make a difference. All of this is because of General Long. She wrote out her feelings of gratitude, and praised him as a kind-hearted chivalrous man who helped the weak and the poor. So she bought a snack to say thank you...
Wait, there is a mountain of kindness and gorgeous words in front of this, followed by a box of small snacks, no, no, this snack is too insincere. And there are too many written, the general may not have the patience to read it. What's more, this letter looks very frivolous. Will the general misunderstand her?
Well, in short, it is not a feeling of magnanimity.
After thinking for a long time, I started to write the third time. This time it was much more comfortable. There is no way to repay the general's great kindness. Jujube paste snacks will last for three days.
Very good, satisfied this time. This kind of note that has no literary talent, does not try to express itself, and makes it clear, has no fantasies or fantasies. There is a little intimacy in the seriousness, which is very good. But the words are not written well.
So An Ruochen wrote it for the fourth time.
Then satisfied.
Taking advantage of the lingering alcohol, she ran all the way to Longda's yard, and bravely handed the note to Longda: "General, here's a note for you!"
Without waiting for Long Da to react, she ran away in a flash.
When she ran out of the yard and saw the guard guarding the gate, she waved her hand to indicate that she was not sneaking around. Then when she turned around, she saw Li Mingyu.
Li Mingyu stood under a big tree outside the Long Courtyard, not sure if he was about to go in or just came out not long ago. An Ruochen was startled when he saw him suddenly, recovered his senses and gave a salute: "Hi, Li Changshi."
Li Mingyu bowed back, turned around and left.
An Ruochen was a little dazed, thinking that this was called sneaking. She is not. She jumped back in a good mood.
Li Mingyu walked for a while, walked into the shadow at the bottom of the tree, and then turned around to look. He saw An Ruochen jumping up and down frivolously. He watched her disappear, hesitated for a while, and finally turned around and went back to his room. Originally, he wanted to talk to the general about Xizuo finding him, but he wasn't sure if he should, because the general was bewildered by this witch.
But later, he still wanted to test it out. If the general still had a trace of vigilance against this witch, he would tell the story. Whether it succeeds or fails, it depends on the general's own decision. But as soon as he reached the door, he saw An Ruochen running out with glowing eyes and rosy cheeks. Li Mingyu's heart was cold for a while, it wasn't that he underestimated the general, but he really couldn't understand why the general would be fascinated by this witch.
Li Mingyu felt that no matter what, now was not a good time to discuss this matter with the general. He had just come out of the gentle temptation, so he drank a basin of cold water, fearing that it would have the opposite effect.
An Ruochen returned to the house, feeling that she had accomplished a great event, so she could feel at ease. Call the maid to prepare hot water for her, and plan to wash up and get ready to sleep. The maid brought a large copper basin, put it on the shelf, filled the water, and prepared the towel. An Ruochen stood over, at this time Chun Xiao's voice suddenly came from outside the door, saying: "Girl, General Long sent someone to bring a letter."
letter! An Ruochen jumped up in fright and turned around abruptly.
She just gave a note, and they sent back a letter? ! still so fast? !
The movement of turning around was too big, and with a bang, it knocked over the basin and the shelf. An Ruochen was startled, and hurriedly backed away to avoid the basin and water. With another bang, she kicked a chair down and hit the table. The table shook, but it didn't fall down, but there was a crackling sound, and the water cups and kettles on the table fell to the ground. There continued to clang, the basin shelf fell down and knocked down the screen, and the screen fell down and caught the weft at the end of the bed.
With a hiss, Weiman tore a piece. The series of movements finally stopped.
An Ruochen and the maids in the room stared dumbfounded and did not recover for a while.
Chun Xiao, who had just entered the room, was also in a daze, held up the letter and asked, "Miss, where do you put the letter?"
An Ruochen covered her eyes, she couldn't look directly at the room and herself. Stretching out her hand, Chun Xiao handed the letter into her hand, An Ruochen silently stuffed the letter into her bosom as if nothing had happened, then calmly ordered someone to come in and pack it up.
The mother-in-law and maid hurried in, and An Ruochen went out to take a breath and make room for everyone. As soon as I went out, I froze. She should be stuck in the room and won't come out even if she is squashed.
There were several people outside the door, and her small yard was quite full. Lu Zheng and Tian Qing were there, and then Jiang Song and Xie Gang were also there.
The most frightening thing is that General Long is also there.
Didn't they just drop a basin, kick a chair, overturn a shelf and lift a screen? The commotion was so loud that everyone was summoned?
An Ruochen stood calmly with his hands behind his back. "Hello, adults."
Jiang Song muttered, "I don't know, I thought it was an assassin."
An Ruochen blushed, feeling that the assassins were not as terrible as the current situation. Especially being stared at by the General like that, don't you think? I was so nervous that my heart would jump out.
An Ruochen looked at everyone, and everyone also looked at her.
"There are mice." An Ruochen said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw General Long's eyebrows raised high. An Ruochen moved her eyebrows unconsciously, but unfortunately she wasn't flexible enough. It's not easy to practice this, she silently shifted her nervousness in her heart.
In a blink of an eye, behind everyone, at the gate of the courtyard, there were several people standing, including guards and Chief Shi Li Mingyu.
Li Mingyu looked at her, turned around and left.
