Jiang Nanyue was in her brother's arms, with a look of panic on her face. She had been focusing on painting these days, and she really hadn't thought about how to tell her brother about this when he came back.
"Brother, you are finally back!" Jiang Nanyue was very happy to see Jiang Beiqiao back.
Jiang Beiqiao put Jiang Nanyue down, put her hands behind her back, looked at the bottle of moonlight ink in her hand, looked up at the picture of Thousand Bridges and Thousand Moons, and asked again: "Nanyue, what were you doing just now? "
Jiang Nanyue hurriedly put down the moonlight ink and brush in her hands, and said timidly: "Brother, in the past two days while you were away, a young master named Ye came to the house. This young master Ye wanted to see you. He said that you painted the Thousand Bridges The Thousand Moons Picture can save his friends, so I am helping him find the bridges where the bronze underworld swords are hung. Brother, you don’t have to worry, this kind of ink is called moonlight ink. After applying it, it can only be seen at night. It lasts for three months. The ink will then evaporate and will never harm the painting.”
There was an elusive smile on Jiang Beiqiao's lips. Yujuan was very kind and hurried over to give Jiang Beiqiao a cup of hot tea.
Jiang Beiqiao said: "Nanyue, do you think Master Ye said that this picture of Thousand Bridges and Thousand Moons could save her friend? I don't know how on earth it can save his friend."
Jiang Nanyue said: "Master Ye refused to explain this. He seemed to have some concerns, but his face was sincere, and Nanyue believed that what he said was true."
Jiang Beiqiao held the cup, lowered his head and laughed and said: "Nanyue, you are really innocent. If others say this casually, you will believe it."
Jiang Nanyue bit her lower lip lightly, but hesitated to speak, with a hint of shyness on her face.
Seeing that the young lady was embarrassed to speak openly, Yujuan stepped forward and said to Jiangbei Qiao: "Your Majesty, the Lord Ye is a very talented man. He also spent a lot of money to buy a red pomegranate necklace for the young lady. If you meet him, you will know that he is He will never be a bad person."
"Oh?" Jiang Beiqiao's brows couldn't help but twitch. He held the teacup in his hand tightly with his slender fingers, wondering who the thief was who dared to trick him into coming to the governor's house and do it while he was away. Feng Gaoyu, looking at his sister's shy look, seems to have a good impression of him. This guy must have deceived his sister with his sweet words.
Jiangbei Qiao said: "Yujuan, bring over that ruby necklace and let me have a look."
"yes."
After receiving the order, the little girl Yujuan hurriedly grabbed the hem of her skirt and ran to get the ruby necklace. Jiang Nanyue's eyes flickered beside her, and she did not dare to look directly at her brother. Her cheeks were indeed blushing.
Jiang Beiqiao suppressed the anger in his heart and kept a gentle look on his face. He looked at Jiang Nanyue and asked: "Nanyue, what is the name of the young master named Ye? Do you know his identity and origin?"
Jiang Nanyue said: "His name is Ye Zhenfeng. He said he came to Qianqiao County to visit. I don't know the rest."
Jiang Beiqiao secretly thought to himself that he must be here for the Thousand Bridges and Thousand Moons map, but what use does the Thousand Bridges and Thousand Moons map have to him? Why did he have to mark the bridges with bronze underworld swords hanging on them.
After a while, Yujuan hurried over, with uncontrollable joy on her face, and showed the red brocade box to Jiangbeiqiao.
Jiang Beiqiao's white fingers gently opened the red brocade box, and there was a valuable ruby necklace lying inside. Jiang Beiqiao had a disdainful smile on his lips and thought to himself, what is the purpose of this little thief spending so much money?
Jiang Beiqiao didn't want to blame his sister. Jiang Nanyue was born with a gentle and kind personality. She was a well-educated and good girl. It was inevitable that she was deceived by the charlatan because of her lack of experience. As an elder brother, he failed to protect his sister and let the thief take advantage of her. Loophole.
The Jiang brothers and sisters, their parents died young, Jiang Nanyue is Jiangbeiqiao's only sister, he has loved her the most since she was a child, Ye Zhenfeng visited her during the past few days when he was not at home, and gave her such an expensive red pomegranate necklace, it is really One has to suspect that he has ulterior motives.
Jiang Nanyue saw that her brother didn't speak, just lowered his head to drink tea. There was no expression on his face, and she didn't know whether he was happy or angry, so she whispered: "Brother, Mr. Ye said that he could find out the character from this picture." A thousand bridges with bronze underworld swords hanging on them, so that his friends can be saved. But my memory is not as good as yours, so I could only find more than 600 bridges for him, and the remaining 300-odd bridges still need to be Please help me, brother."
Jiang Beiqiao smiled and said: "It is not difficult to find the remaining more than 300 bridges. My brother has already remembered those bridges in his heart, but who is this Mr. Ye? Is it really to find out whether these bridges are to save his friends? , I still need to confirm these first."
Jiang Nanyue nodded, and then said: "Saving people is always a matter of life and death. Mr. Ye said that once my brother comes back, let him know immediately so that he can come and visit."
Jiang Beiqiao nodded and said: "No matter how busy you are, you still need to eat. Nanyue, where does Mr. Ye live now? I will send someone to inform him."
Seeing her brother's friendly face, Jiang Nanyue couldn't help but look overjoyed and said loudly, "He lives at Lan'an Inn."
Jiang Beiqiao nodded, and then said: "I will invite Mr. Ye out for dinner tonight, and I will leave the rest to my brother."
Jiang Nanyue said hurriedly: "Brother, what about me?"
Jiang Beiqiao smiled and said: "Just stay at home and help him find those bridges. Didn't you say you are in a hurry? I will tell you the rest when I come back."
Jiang Nanyue nodded simply, really thinking that Jiang Beiqiao meant this, but in fact Jiang Beiqiao deliberately pushed her away and wanted to meet Mr. Ye in person.
There was singing and dancing in the Yingchun Tower. It was Ye Zhenfeng's first time to come to such a place with fireworks. He never expected that the Qianqiao County Sheriff would invite him to a place like this for dinner.
In the private room upstairs, a group of graceful and stunning beauties were surrounding a man in half-undressed white clothes. The man had his hair tied up, a crown, and a black trench coat, with wide chest and narrow waist.
Those beauties were sitting around him, and his outstanding appearance almost overwhelmed the beauties present. He was indeed the beautiful Sheriff of Qianqiao County.
The moment Ye Zhenfeng walked in, the beautiful county guard became a little uneasy. The servant walked in front to lead the way. Ye Zhenfeng came from behind the purple bead curtain, and the long bead curtain crossed his handsome face. He has a tall and slender figure, a pair of sharp brows on his fair face like a swordsman, his dark eyes seem to have spring flowers and autumn moon, his tall nose makes him look heroic, and his pair of thin scarlet lips are smacking a bit wildly. .
Such a man makes women alluring. No wonder his sister is attracted to him. The wine glass held by Jiang Beiqiao stayed in the air, and his eyes looked up and down at Ye Zhenfeng, with a sense of scrutiny.
Ye Zhenfeng saluted to Jiangbei Bridge: "I would like to pay my respects to the county governor, Ye Zhenfeng!"
Jiang Beiqiao laughed, and then said: "Master Ye, please sit down!"
Ye Zhenfeng nodded and sat down. However, as soon as he sat down, the beauties around him were already eagerly flocking towards him. Those who poured him wine, handed him fruits, and fanned him were full of laughter. All of them cuddled up next to him as if they didn't have any bones.
This made Ye Zhenfeng really feel uncomfortable. He wanted to push these women away several times, but he was always a guest and he had requests from Jiang Beiqiao. Due to human feelings, he always had to give Jiang Beiqiao a little favor.
Jiangbeiqiao's fox-like narrow eyes carefully looked at Ye Zhenfeng, and saw that his hand holding the wine glass was getting tighter and tighter, his dark brows were already furrowed, and the displeasure in his eyes was about to overflow, and he couldn't help it. His anger seemed to be about to explode, and he couldn't help but laugh.
He didn't intend to let Ye Zhenfeng go immediately, and winked at the beauties. Those beauties became more and more frivolous, and Meng Lang actually sat down on Ye Zhenfeng.
Ye Zhenfeng was shocked and hurriedly got up and got out of the way. The beauty almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he reached out to hold her, and this saved the beauty from the physical pain.
Ye Zhenfeng clasped his fists and saluted, and said to Jiangbei Qiao: "Your Excellency, County Sheriff, please forgive me for being rude. I have something to say to the County Sheriff alone."
Jiang Beiqiao held his chin with his right hand, as if he was drunk, raised his eyebrows slightly, and added a slight blush to his fair cheeks. With a slight wave of his left hand, everyone left, and he was the only one left in the box.
"Young Master Ye, if you have something to say, you might as well sit down and say it!"
"Thank you!"
Ye Zhenfeng sat down again, and then said to Jiangbei Qiao: "Master Sheriff, Miss Nanyue must have told you about the matter. The purpose of my visit this time is to find out the thousand bronze statues hanging on the underworld." Come to the bridge of swords, because this is related to the life of a friend of mine. I also ask the county governor to help! Zhenfeng is very grateful!"
Jiang Beiqiao's thin lips curved, and there was a hint of joking in his narrow eyebrows. He said: "Mr. Ye, you said that finding Qianqiao was related to your friend's life, but you hesitated and refused to say it clearly. I am not Nanyue is not someone you can fool. You need to know that the thousand bridges with famous bronze swords hanging on them were built during the Qi Zhi Kingdom. If you want to find the Thousand Bridges, could you be trying to capture the legendary Qi Zhi National Treasure? Can’t do it?”
Jiangbeiqiao's words were sharp and unquestionable. Ye Zhenfeng couldn't help but feel frightened. He thought that Jiangbeiqiao was really difficult to deal with. As the head of a county, he had been involved in official circles all year round. He was thoughtful and smarter than a fox. It was not just a few words that he could say. But those who have been fooled must think twice about their next answers, otherwise they will inevitably be jailed.
With his martial arts skills, there was absolutely nothing a scholar from Jiangbeiqiao could do to him if he wanted to leave. However, if this matter alarmed Emperor Yu Fengxing, it would be even harder for him to find the tomb of King Qi Xi.
When Jiang Beiqiao saw that he was silent, a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his expression was a little nervous, so he smiled and said: "Young Master Ye, just tell the truth. What is the purpose of searching for these thousand bridges? Isn’t it for the treasure of the Qigu Kingdom?”
Jiang Beiqiao's heart was filled with anger. On this night, looking at his talent and appearance, he thought he was an extraordinary person. Unexpectedly, he was also a money-grubbing maniac who dared to take advantage of his innocent sister.
Ye Zhenfeng knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists in his hands and saluted, and said very sincerely: "The Sheriff is very smart, Zhenfeng really dare not hide it, the search for Qianqiao is indeed to save a friend of mine, and it is definitely not to fight Qi Gong. Wang Baobao’s idea.”
Jiang Beiqiao leaned forward slightly, holding a wine glass in his hand. His slender eyebrows were a little red due to drinking, and they looked delicate and fragile. He smiled and said: "Oh...then it is still related to the tomb of King Qi Xiang?" Please tell me carefully, what is the relationship between this Qianqiao and your friend?"
