Chapter 40 Under control

After saying goodbye to Long Yuhan, my heart was still filled with ups and downs. Wang Jiajia broke away from my hand and looked back reluctantly: "Brother Jianghu, why don't I stay and take care of Sister Nuanxin. She is left alone with a stranger.

How is this appropriate at home?"

"Hey, Jiajia!" I saw that she actually turned around and wanted to go back, so I grabbed her: "Can you stop fooling around? Nuan Xin is an assassin now. Are you still afraid that she will send her accomplices? Maybe the imperial envoys have been arresting her throughout the city now.

She got it."

Wang Jiajia was anxious: "Then we should find a place to hide her. Now that she is injured, how can she be the opponent of those policemen?"

"Her current place is the safest. Long Yuhan is the leader of the Sky Eye Team. Who would have thought that the assassin is hiding in his house."

Wang Jiajia thought for a while: "That's right, but this is not a long-term solution."

I looked towards Long Yuhan's home in the distance and analyzed: "I have never met the imperial envoy, and I don't know what kind of person he was before. But Nuan Xin said that he was rude and sincere, but I don't really agree with it. I even more

I lean towards Xiao Mu’s story, maybe it’s just a misunderstanding.”

"Misunderstanding?" Wang Jiajia was a little confused: "What did Xiao Mu say?"

I know that Wang Jiajia is stubborn, and if I don't tell her clearly, I'm afraid she won't be able to go back with me at ease. Then wouldn't I be taught a lesson by Fatty Wang again?

So, I had no choice but to tell Wang Jiajia the story of sisterly love that Xiao Mu told me.

"What? Sister Nuanxin used to be a palace maid?" Wang Jiajia was really shocked, with envy in her eyes.

To be honest, I quite envy her. For ordinary people like us, the palace is just like the legendary Lingxiao Palace, which is always out of reach. I heard that there are countless rare treasures in it, and the women are as beautiful as gods...

I sighed, forced myself to return to reality, and continued: "Xiao Mu said: The imperial envoy had already given an explanation, but Nuan Xin didn't believe it. I think it was Nuan Xin's obsession that kept her from letting go.

Because the person who killed Su Xin took poison and committed suicide on the spot, Nuan Xin could only blame the imperial envoy for her sister's death. After all, it was precisely because of the imperial envoy's miscalculation that Su Xin was killed by her instigator behind the scenes.

mouth.

You think about it, the imperial envoy is a close friend of King An, and he can even enter and leave King An's palace freely, which shows his importance in King An's heart. If he likes any of King An's maids, why doesn't he ask for a reward from King An instead of asking for a reward?

What about molesting her secretly?"

"This... but Sister Nuan Xin... is there really a misunderstanding? But... Sister Nuan Xin doesn't believe it, what should we do? You said she is persistent, so if the assassination fails this time, after she recovers from her injuries, she

Will you do it again?" Wang Jiajia asked worriedly.

I didn't know how to answer, so I had to walk forward silently. I was a little scared. I was just a commoner, an ordinary tofu seller, a palace maid, an imperial envoy, an assassin... How could I have the ability to influence all of this?

"Jianghu, are you here to get the load? Are your eyes okay?" Uncle Fu still looked amiable and looked into my eyes with a smile.

"Oh, it's okay."

"Are you in a hurry to go back? If you're not in a hurry, can we find a quiet place to chat?"

chat?

I suddenly thought of what Li Huichun said an hour ago. He said that the imperial envoy asked him to inform me to find an excuse to visit Long Yuhan, remember everything I saw clearly, and then go to Jianghu Inn to have a good talk with Uncle Fu.

.

I looked at Uncle Forbes, and my heart trembled. Could such a harmless-looking innkeeper be a member of the imperial envoy? Was he also a secret agent?

"Brother Jianghu." Wang Jiajia gently pulled my sleeve.

"Haha, seeing that you two are tired, I have prepared some tea and snacks in the private room upstairs. Come on, come and sit." Uncle Fu smiled at Wang Jiajia and stretched out his hand: "Please!"

Wang Jiajia and I looked at each other and looked at the diners in the living room. When we saw that no one was paying attention, we followed Uncle Fu upstairs anxiously, as if we were thieves.

"Come on, hehe, here are preserves, pastries, some cheese, and juice. You guys eat first. I have guests downstairs, so I'll go and get busy." Uncle Fu opened the door to the middle private room and pointed.

table, I want to go downstairs.

"Hey, Uncle Fu, didn't you say you wanted to chat with me?"

"Oh, you guys sit down first, someone will look for you soon."

Wang Jiajia went to the door and looked around, looking a little nervous: "Brother Jianghu, what do you mean Uncle Fu? I just wanted to ask, what does Doctor Li mean when he conveyed the message to the imperial envoy? Could it be that the imperial envoy already knew the whereabouts of Sister Nuanxin?

Bar?"

"Of course, the imperial envoy knows everything." Xiao Mu's voice came, and the person appeared at the door.

"Ah!" Wang Jiajia shouted and flew to my side with a look of panic on her face.

"Jiajia, don't be afraid, he is Xiao Mu." I comforted him.

"Jiajia, this name is so nice." Xiao Mu waved his fan and smiled at Wang Jiajia: "I am such a beautiful man, how can I make people scared? I know you must have fallen in love with me, and you were just excited for a while."

"No, no...I..." Wang Jiajia hid behind me, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she didn't know how to explain.

I patted her shoulder: "Okay, he is super narcissistic. He thinks everyone in the world likes him and loves to joke. You don't have to listen to his nonsense."

Xiao Mu stared at Wang Jiajia: "Actually, you are quite beautiful. I have a way to remove the scars on your face. Do you want to try it?"

"Okay, are you finished? Don't appear out of nowhere like a ghost every time." I interrupted him, a little angry. The scar on Wang Jiajia's face has been with her for almost twenty years. This is her

The nightmare that she has always wanted to get rid of. Fatty Wang had seen many doctors when she was a child, but the injury was too deep and could not be removed. In this case, why did she deliberately give her hope and make fun of other people's pain?

"Believe it or not." Xiao Mu stopped arguing and sat down on his own, picking up a glass of juice and tasting it.

"You are being mysterious, what's the matter?" I asked.

Xiao Mu smacked his lips. It seemed that the juice tasted good. He smiled and pointed to another cup and said, "Come on, Jiajia, try it. This cup is almond juice, which can beautify the skin. It is good for us girls to eat more."

"

What? I looked at Xiao Mu in surprise: "What did you say?"

Xiao Mu was stunned and touched his face: "I said... girls should eat more juice or something to beautify their skin. What? Is there a problem?"

I was too lazy to talk nonsense to him and said bluntly: "What do you want us to do? Just say what you want!"

Xiao Mu grabbed my baggage and asked, "What is this?"

"Let go, this is mine." I slapped his hand: "This is all my belongings."

Xiao Mu smiled: "Actually, it's not a big deal to call you here today. I just want to treat you to something to eat."

"Eat?" I glared at him with contempt: "Are you worried because you have too much money?"

"That's right, haha." Xiao Mu smiled proudly at me and said, "Last night I had a drink with the imperial envoy and Li Huichun, and Li Huichun told us about the fact that you didn't bring any money with you.

The imperial envoy guessed that you would not go to the Huichun Hall today, but would take off the plaster on your eyes at home, clean them and see how your eyes are recovering.

But I think you will follow the doctor's advice and go to Huichun Hall for follow-up consultation, follow Li Huichun's treatment, and bring a big bag of money to pay off the medical bills.

The imperial envoy and I had different opinions, so Li Huichun made a bet for us. The winner would get one tael of silver, and the loser would not only pay one tael of silver, but also have to treat us at Wanhua Tower.

Hahaha, Li Huichun has already sent me the news. Thank you very much for letting me earn another tael of silver. This is just a small thing, so I will thank you.

I’m leaving first, please take your time!”

"Hey, Brother Mu!" I stopped him: "Is the imperial envoy okay?"

"It's okay, everything is under the control of the imperial envoy." Xiao Mu smiled softly and said, "Oh, Jiajia, don't worry, your warm-hearted sister will be well taken care of by Long Yuhan."

I looked at Xiao Mu in surprise: "What does the imperial envoy want to do with Nuan Xin?"

"Wait until she recovers from her injuries, and then give her another chance to assassinate her." Xiao Mu's voice was very soft, but it shocked me so much that I couldn't close my mouth.

"The imperial... imperial envoy also asked her to kill him?" Wang Jiajia also found it incredible.

Xiao Mu said very calmly: "In the past few years, Nuan Xin has been practicing martial arts hard just to avenge her sister. How could she let her hard work go to waste? However, her martial arts skills could not enter the imperial envoy's body at all, so the imperial envoy decided to let her

Find a way to take revenge.

I asked you to visit Long Yuhan's house. In fact, it's just to reassure you. Don't worry. Long Yuhan will take care of Nuan Xin during this period, so don't worry about anything.

The imperial envoy said that he will find a way to make Nuan Xin open up his heart, let go of his hatred, and start a new life again."

I just felt a little dazed. I thought I knew everything, and I also felt that I was deeply confused and at a loss. I didn't expect that it was just mediocrity.

Xiao Mu has always spoken both true and false, and now it seems that what he said last time that he had recruited hundreds of spies for the imperial envoy should be true. Just when I was still hesitating whether to report to Xiao Mu or not, I thought warmly.

When the imperial envoy was assassinated, perhaps the secret agent hidden in Xiangzhou City had discovered Nuan Xin's motive and reported it to the imperial envoy long ago.

Xiao Mu drank a glass of juice with a smile: "Li Jianghu, do you know why you can't become a real spy? Because so far, you haven't really entered the role of a spy, and you haven't really regarded yourself as someone who will always be loyal to the imperial envoy.

Guards!"

I looked at Xiao Mu's disappointed eyes and couldn't help but lower my head in shame: "I... haha, maybe I can't be a spy at all, I... can only make tofu..."

"No, you can. The imperial envoy doesn't know you well, so he doesn't think highly of you. But I have been secretly examining you, and I think you are the best candidate for an elite spy.

It’s just that you are still indecisive in doing things now, don’t know your priorities, and even don’t distinguish between public and private things.”

Xiao Mu sighed and walked around me, seeming to find some good points in me: "I've always been very accurate in judging people. If I say you're good, you're good, and I'll slowly unleash your potential."

, making you the best secret agent."

"Thank you." I pursed my lips, thought over and over again, and finally said these two words.

Xiao Mu shook his head: "Since we are friends, there is no need to be polite. If you need anything, just come to me."

"Hey, how do you find it? Or put a copper coin there?"
