A figure stood on the boat, holding an oar and slowly sailing towards the shore. If you get closer, you can see the scars on his face.
It was none other than Tang Ba.
He bowed respectfully to Zheng Ze and said, "Mr. Zheng."
Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Nong Yuling's eyes. She looked at the boat and saw a table with a square wooden box on it.
She felt a familiar feeling and shifted her gaze to Zheng Ze, "Is that...Qin?"
Zheng Ze raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that she could recognize Qin to such an extent.
Nodding slightly, he glanced at Tang Ba, who understood and turned around to open the piano case. The next moment, an exquisite guqin came into view.
Zheng Ze stretched and said softly: "You know how to play the piano. Come and let me see the difference between your piano skills and Miss Nongyu's."
Hearing this, Nongyu was slightly startled, and turned to look at Zheng Ze. She was a little confused, "Have you ever heard of Miss Nongyu playing the piano?"
But Zheng Ze didn't look sideways and nodded gently.
This made Nong Yu even more confused. I played the piano for you, why didn't I know about it?
Could it be...that it happened in a dream? She thought to herself.
However, Xiuwan's fair and tender face did not reveal anything. Her spiritual eyes looked at Zheng Ze's expression and asked calmly: "So, what do you think of Miss Nongyu's piano skills?"
Zheng Ze shook his head, "Three words."
"Huh?" The girl's spiritual eyes became even more curious.
"It sounds ugly!"
Nongyu:???
Not to mention these two words, how could he accuse someone of innocence out of thin air?
Before she could speak, Zheng Ze watched as the expression on his originally calm face changed with his words, from doubt to curiosity, from curiosity to shock, with a hint of unhappiness.
"You seem to have a different opinion?" he said softly.
Although she felt that the other party's behavior of slandering her was a bit unacceptable, she still didn't take it too seriously as she was always elegant.
She looked at the shimmering waves by the lake, lightly parted her pink lips, and said in a warm voice: "Miss Nongyu's piano skills are the best in Zilanxuan. Although she is not a master of music, she still has her own talent in this way."
It’s characteristics. Even people who don’t like the sound of the piano will not find it unpleasant. In the future, you should avoid saying such dirty words in front of others."
After the previous twists and turns in Zilanxuan, her relationship with this man seemed to be better than that of ordinary people, but at the same time, she still seemed very strange.
It is actually because the opposite sex rarely appears in her life, so the measurement is difficult to compare.
Telling him like this is actually for his own good. His music has been heard by many people, and if he maliciously slanders him in front of others, he may be looked down upon by others.
Zheng Ze shook his head. He felt the kindness in the girl's words. When he said bad things about her, she actually cared about me?
Looking at her flawless and pretty face, Zheng Ze showed a puzzled expression, "I heard you say it so many times, you seem to know her very well?"
In order to show the persuasiveness of her words, Nongyu nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said softly: "Probably no one knows Miss Nongyu better than me."
"Oh~ I must have made a mistake. The music I listened to was not played by Miss Nongyu. I will ask Miss Nongyu to admit my mistake." Zheng Ze humbly accepted the opinion of the authoritative expert.
Nong Yu glanced at him and shook her head slightly, "There's no need to apologize. She won't take it to heart. Just... don't do this in the future."
It seemed like it was the first time that he had convinced this previously strong and rogue person, and Nong Yu felt a little relieved.
In response to Nong Yu's reminder, Zheng Ze nodded seriously, "I remember you said she was beautiful?"
Hearing this, Nongyu glanced at him doubtfully. He seemed to be particularly interested in Nongyu...
Suddenly, she remembered what she had just been thinking about on the road. Zheng Ze seemed to have said, "Your Fire Rain Agate" before. Last time, he clearly said, "Fire Rain Agate is made from jade." She was not sure before that it belonged to the other party.
Careless words or something.
But now I feel his abnormality more and more, and I unconsciously connect this matter in my heart.
Does he know my identity?
The originally quiet and elegant girl suddenly looked nervously at the man in front of her, wouldn't she?
What did I say just now?
"Huh? Why don't you speak?" Zheng Ze deliberately looked very confused.
Nongyu's heart was beating nervously. She felt that she had never been so nervous in her life.
"You, do you know anything?" she asked tentatively.
Zheng Ze looked even more confused, "You know what? Nong Yu? If I knew, I would still ask you?"
Shui Ling's eyes stared unblinkingly at Zheng Ze's delicate face, trying to find clues from the subtleties, but he didn't seem to have any flaws.
Seeing this, her worried heart felt a little calmer, "Then why do you care so much about Miss Nongyu?"
Zheng Ze found it very funny to see the originally elegant and generous girl showing a guilty expression as if she had done something bad, but he had been professionally trained not to laugh.
"Of course I am apologizing to her. I actually said so many bad things about her because I assigned the wrong person. I really deserve to die!" He sincerely confessed.
Looking at his appearance, Nongyu waved her hand, "Miss Nongyu won't take it to heart. You don't need to blame yourself so much."
Being so close, she could feel the regret coming from this man's heart, and some of his doubts seemed like she was overdoing it.
"No, this will make my conscience feel bad. You must tell me!" Zheng Ze said sincerely and seriously.
A hint of helplessness appeared on Nong Yu's pretty face, "Then what do you want to know?"
"Is Miss Nongyu beautiful?"
"beautiful!"
"Is she in a good mood?"
"good!"
"Do you think she would still be angry if I apologized to her?"
"Won't!"
"How's her figure?"
"Does this have anything to do with whether you admit your mistake or not?"
"Okay, then if I apologize, she really won't be angry?"
"Will not!"
Looking at Nongyu who shook his head slightly, Zheng Ze paused and said in a playful tone, "Miss Nongyu, are you really not angry?"
"I said no..." Nongyu spoke reflexively, but suddenly she reacted, and her pretty face changed color in an instant, freezing at this second.
Zheng Ze even saw that the pupils in her spiritual eyes suddenly shrank. At this moment, it was as if time had stood still.
The lakeside where the two people were having a casual conversation suddenly fell into the silence of death.
…
General's Mansion.
Ji Wuye sat in the main seat, holding the chin of the beauty next to him, shaking her head casually, and said to a figure standing below: "How is it?"
"Report to the general, one of the two men could not withstand the torture and died. The other one has not spoken yet."
Hearing this, Ji Wuye frowned, "Dead? How did you die?"
The man below was wearing a low-quality cloth robe, lowered his head, and said, "While the prisoner was not paying attention, he committed suicide."
"Huh, trash." Ji Wuye snorted coldly, not knowing who he was talking about.
"Have you found out the origin of the paper?" Ji Wuye asked.
"We checked all nearby commercial roads and found no convoys transporting paper."
Ji Wuye's expression was indifferent and he sneered, "It seems that I have been prepared for it. If you finish the matter tonight, you will be rewarded heavily when you come back. I will give you whatever you want!"
Hearing this, the assassin in a cloth robe bent down even lower, "I am willing to smear you to death for the general!"
After handing over orders from the general's mansion, figures one after another quickly left, heading in the same direction.
