Unexpectedly, what Yi Rui asked was just a very personal question, "Are you married?"
Hearing such a question, Zhou Yaoniang was a little stunned for a moment.
At the moment, it was Chen Yan who reacted quickly. She was also a free-spirited person. Back then, she was also a fun-loving person. Naturally, she also knew that in this world, apart from men and women, there are still those kinds of feelings between women and men. of.
This Yi Rui is overly enthusiastic about people, and just now, she said she wanted to marry Zhao Lang a wife.
As soon as she heard this, she knew that instead of saying that she wanted to find a wife for Zhao Lang, it was more likely that she wanted to find a wife for herself.
And she must have taken a fancy to Yaoniang.
Although Yaoniang is not the most beautiful among them, her appearance can only be considered delicate at best, but her temperament is elegant, like an orchid flower blooming in a deep valley and deep pool.
Moreover, she has a kind of delicate temperament around her. Even she can't help but feel sorry for Yaoniang, let alone Yi Rui now.
Because she understood Yi Rui's thoughts, Chen Yan immediately replied on Zhou Yaoniang's behalf, "She already has a husband, so don't have any ideas about her."
Hearing Chen Yan's answer, Yi Rui obviously still didn't give up. She looked deeply at Zhou Yaoniang and said, "Really? Yaoniang, are you really married?"
Although Yaoniang didn't understand what Yi Rui meant, she obviously still believed in Chen Yan more, so she didn't tell him that although she had a husband, the key to the existence of her relationship with her husband was in name only.
She just nodded slightly, "Yes."
After hearing this, Yi Rui looked at Zhou Yaoniang with an expression that was obviously full of disappointment, and her deep green eyes seemed to be crumbling with sadness. Looking at her like that, Yaoniang felt a little guilty in her heart, although she didn't know it. What does the other person lose?
However, she still comforted Yi Rui, "Miss Yi Rui, His Highness Ninth Prince and you will definitely become an enviable couple."
Upon hearing Zhou Yaoniang's words, Yi Rui, who was originally very positive about marrying Zhao Lang, instantly lost interest in Zhao Lang.
She was as depressed as if she had just fallen out of love, "Don't mention it, let's get down to business."
After saying that, she turned back and looked at Jiang Nianjiao.
Zhao Yanzhen, who had vaguely understood something at this moment, immediately protected Jiang Nianjiao unconsciously.
Just kidding, in front of him, he actually let his wife be taken advantage of. This is simply a shame for him, okay?
When he saw Zhao Yanzhen, he also became wary of himself.
Yi Rui could only shrug.
However, Jiang Nianjiao didn't pay too much attention. She saw Yi Rui bring the topic back to the center. He couldn't help but signal Zhao Yanzhen to talk about what happened that day.
Seeing Jiang Nianjiao's instructions, Zhao Yanzhen naturally followed Jiang Nianjiao's instructions and recounted the situation of that day again. At the same time, he only handed the scraps of paper in his hand to Yi Rui to look at again.
When Yi Rui saw the paper scraps, she didn't study them as carefully as Zhao Lang did. She just gently rubbed the paper ash mixed with some silver powder with her hands.
Then she blew on the confetti again.
But for a moment, the powder that was originally scraps of paper suddenly turned into a small paper man holding a sword. The little paper man danced his body in the air with the wind. As the little paper man danced his body, Jiang Nianjiao only noticed that there was also a person waving a long sword on the screen wall not far away. Her moves were similar to The little paper figures are almost identical.
Even Cui Qiao on the side could only see some of the tricks. "Isn't this the move that the assassin used when he fought with me that day?"
Hearing Cui Qiao's words, others looked more and more like him.
And as Yi Rui blew the little paper man another breath, the little paper man turned into paper dust again in an instant.
Seeing the replay of this magical scene, everyone knew that Yi Rui was really a master of the art. Even if the people present were wary because of the other person's words and deeds, on the other hand, no one dared to look down on Yi Rui. .
Yi Rui finally clapped the ashes in her hand and said to Zhao Yanzhen, "Third brother, I've seen it. This is paper puppetry. This illusion can be regarded as a mid-level magic. It is not very harmful and very confusing. I think this The person may not have used this method to do anything to the third sister-in-law, but his warning may have a great meaning."
Hearing Yi Rui's words, Zhao Yanzhen only said, "Is it likely that you can find this person?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Rui just turned to look at Zhao Yanzhen and said, "If this person takes action again, then I will be sure to catch him out."
Zhao Yanzhen said, "I'm also waiting for that person to take action again."
Yi Rui immediately smiled and said, "That's good, just let me stay with the third sister-in-law. I will guard her every day and I will be able to find that person."
However, Zhao Yanzhen already suspected that Yi Rui was a man-in-law. How could he safely place such a big time bomb next to his wife?
So he just said immediately, "That's not necessary. She is currently undergoing confinement and cannot leave the palace. The palace is safe, and I think he is coming for me. If you insist on following, you can come to me next time." Follow me when I go out.”
Yi Rui did not refute Zhao Yanzhen's proposal. She readily agreed. "That's fine. Anyway, I think this matter may be related to the errand we are going to do."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen asked curiously, "What is your errand?"
When Zhao Yanzhen asked about this, Yi Rui replied in a low voice, "Didn't the capital drive out all the Qiangmo people a while ago?"
Zhao Yanzhen nodded when he heard this, "That's what happened. I was the one who gave the order to expel them at that time."
When Yi Rui heard this, she glanced at Zhao Yanzhen angrily and said, "When you drive people away, you should at least release them safely! What's the point of detaining our people like this! Even if there were assassins at the time, they wouldn't be able to kill everyone." They are all assassins, and there are more of them who just want to have good business exchanges. Ordinary Qiang desert people who admire your Dayong civilization, what do you mean by a wholesale liquidation like this?"
Faced with Yi Rui's accusation, Zhao Yanzhen could only whisper, "It was me who lacked consideration. We were nervous about using troops at the time, so we really didn't think too much."
After hearing Zhao Yanzhen's apology, Yi Rui naturally stopped mentioning the matter. She just continued calmly and said, "When we heard that our tribe was driven away, we prepared to take them back. However, at that time our kings, Snake and Rat, Duan, we are not allowed to step into the land of Dayong again, so we can only wait for our tribesmen to come back at the port. However, what is disappointing is that, except for some tribesmen who were escorted out by your army, we have waited for a long time but no one has arrived. See the remaining clan members return."
“Among them, our tribe’s members, especially those from the Qionglong Tribe, have gone missing the most.”
After Yi Rui spoke, Zhao Lang immediately added, "Their Qiongdong tribe is also the only tribe that can skillfully use illusions."
After the words fell, Yi Rui just said to Zhao Lang, "By the way, A Lang, didn't we catch a pair of grandsons who can use illusions when we came here today? Let's interrogate these grandsons too, right?"
Seeing Yi Rui mention this, Zhao Lang just nodded, "Okay, let's go meet the grandson and grandpa for a while."
The people who should watch it now also watched it, and Yi Rui and Zhao Lang were naturally only prepared to interrogate the grandfather and grandson who were locked up in the dungeon.
However, before they were about to interrogate, Zhao Yanzhen still said to Zhao Lang, "Alang, did you tell your father when you came back this time?"
Zhao Lang nodded, "I told you."
Zhao Yanzhen then said, "Then have you ever told your father why you returned to Beijing?"
Zhao Lang only said, "My mother's birthday is approaching, and I also miss my family."
Hearing Zhao Lang's answer, Zhao Yanzhen couldn't help but sigh. He knew that his younger brother could not be trusted. "Then I think you should go see your father first and explain to him clearly the official business you are here to do this time." What is it? Otherwise, do you think that even if you find the people of the Qionglong Tribe, you can take these people away? And we don’t know what happened to them, and we don’t know if they need help. Alang, what are you doing now? After all, my identity is different from before. You should still consider the overall situation before doing anything. Otherwise, such small things may become friction between the two countries."
Faced with Zhao Yanzhen's reprimand, Zhao Lang could only nod his head in response. Zhao Yanzhen was not at ease with Zhao Lang after all, so he just said, "Okay, A Lang, why don't you let me accompany you into the palace?" .”
Zhao Lang naturally responded well after hearing this, and then Zhao Yanzhen took Zhao Lang and Na Yirui to Beijing to meet the saint.
On the other side, Lan Jue, Chen Yan and Zhou Yaoniang had their own affairs to be busy with, so they only said goodbye to Jiang Nianjiao afterwards.
After everyone left, the yard became deserted.
Jiang Nianjiao felt a little exhausted, so she simply went back to the house to sleep.
However, after Zhou Yaoniang came out with Lan Jue and Chen Yan, Zhou Yaoniang only proposed to take Zijuan to Lu Zhizhang to discuss the case.
Chen Yan knew that Zhou Yaoniang's family affairs were in a mess now, and now that she had Lan Jue's help, she naturally did not force Zhou Yaoniang to stay in the shop and do business.
After Zhou Yaoniang was released, she also took Zijuan to Dali Temple.
Arriving at the gate of Dali Temple, Zhou Yaoniang only said to the guard, "I want to see Mr. Lu."
However, when faced with Zhou Yaoniang's question, the guards just said, "What a coincidence, Mr. Lu is not in Dali Temple these days."
Zhou Yaoniang did not give up and continued to ask, "Where is Mr. Lu?"
However, the guard still just shook his head, "We don't know where Mr. Lu is. If you want to see him, come over early tomorrow morning."
After hearing what the guard said, Zhou Yaoniang felt helpless, but at the moment she had no better choice, so she could only choose to cooperate with him. After bidding farewell to each other, Zhou Yaoniang naturally had no choice but to return to the shop on Zhuque Street.
When Chen Yan saw Zhou Yaoniang leaving and returning, she was also very surprised.
"Yao Niang, why are you back again?"
Zhou Yaoniang looked tired and said, "Mr. Lu is not in Dali Temple. They said that Mr. Lu went to handle the case, but they didn't say where Mr. Lu went. I can only go there tomorrow to inquire."
