Li Zhuoyu's room has a restrained luxury, and the objects placed in the room fully reflect his elegant taste.
There is a pot of lavender orchids placed on the round pear blossom table, with white glazed beads as partitions. There is a bathtub behind the peony screen in the room. The whole room looks steamy because of the heat emanating from the hot water. , hazy.
Ye Zhenfeng thought to himself that Mr. Li San was taking a bath before he came. It was really inappropriate for him to rebel rashly late at night.
However, the situation was urgent, and in order to save people, Ye Zhenfeng didn't care much.
Li Zhuoyu poured him a cup of scented tea, and then said: "This is scented tea made from freshly picked plum blossoms. Mr. Ye, please!"
"Thank you!" Ye Zhenfeng put the tea to his mouth and blew it. There was green tea soup on the white jade tea cup. There were a few pink petals floating on the tea soup. He took a sip, and the tea fragrance overflowed and the warmth returned. sweet.
He smiled and said: "This plum blossom tea is indeed good! Third Young Master is really a person who lives an elegant life!"
Li Zhuoyu combed his long, slightly damp hair and said with a smile, "Young Master Ye is a compliment."
Ye Zhenfeng said: "Visiting late at night, I really have something urgent to see the Third Young Master."
"??????????????? Mr. Ye, please tell me!"
Ye Zhenfeng was trying to figure out how to say this all the way, and he said: "The thing is like this, I came here late at night to inquire about Mr. Wuhen!"
"Wuhen? Mr. Ye...know Wuhen?" Li Zhuoyu opened his mouth slightly, a little surprised. He originally thought that Ye Zhenfeng and Wuhen didn't know each other.
Ye Zhenfeng smiled slightly and said, "I don't know him. Young Master Tie asked me to come over and ask him about it!"
"Tie Muyun?" Li Zhuoyu frowned slightly, wondering why Tie Muyun wanted to inquire about Wuhen.
Ye Zhenfeng said: "Third Young Master, you also know that the young Young Master of the Tie family is the apprentice of Young Master Wuhen. He heard that his master visited Baiyu Villa two months ago."
Li Zhuoyu smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, two months ago, it happened to be my father's birthday. It happened that Mr. Wuhen came to see me at Baiyu Villa, so he came to celebrate my father's birthday! I even let him stay at Baiyu Villa. For a while, Mr. Wuhen loved drinking, and every year we would meet up to have a drink and talk."
Speaking of Mr. Wuhen, Li Zhuoyu's peaceful face was obviously filled with joy, and his eyes also had a slight light.
Ye Zhenfeng looked at it and really didn't think that Li Zhuoyu would harm his friends. Maybe the disappearance of Mr. Wuhen really had nothing to do with him. However, it was a matter of life and death for Mr. Wuhen, so he had to be careful.
He lowered his head to drink tea, smiled, and said, "It seems that Third Young Master and Young Master Wuhen are very good friends!"
Li Zhuoyu nodded and said, "You can be a confidant!"
When Ye Zhenfeng saw what he said, he went straight to the point:
"That Young Master Wuhen is the master of the younger Young Master. Their master and apprentice made an appointment to meet each other every year. One month ago this year, it happened to be the person they agreed to meet, but Young Master Wuhen failed to keep the appointment. The Young Master is very worried. Worried about his master, because Mr. Wuhen is a very trustworthy person."
"We met once a year before, and he never failed to make an appointment. So the young master was very worried about his master. He learned that Mr. Wuhen had come to your village two months ago, so he specially invited me to come and ask about him. The whereabouts of Mr. Wuhen.”
At first, Li Zhuoyu thought it was strange that Ye Zhenfeng suddenly came to ask about Master Wuhen. But now that he heard what he said, he understood everything and frowned slightly:
"Master Wuhen is indeed a man of his word. After the birthday banquet, I wanted to keep him at Baiyu Villa for a few more days, but he said that he had an appointment and wanted to go to Qilin Divine Continent to meet someone. Because he wanted to stay I came down to pay my father’s birthday, but I’ve been delayed for some time, so I have to say goodbye and leave.”
"Now that I think about it, the person Wuhen was going to see that day was Tie Muyun! But Wuhen had already left Baiyu Villa. He was a ranger, wandering around the country and living in no fixed place. He was at home all over the world. After leaving Baiyu Villa Where he went I don’t know.”
Ye Zhenfeng picked up the tea cup lightly with his fingertips and said: "But the young master has investigated and found that Mr. Wuhen left Baiyu Villa and his whereabouts are unknown. He suspects that Mr. Wuhen probably did not leave Baiyu Villa!"
When Li Zhuoyu heard this, he clenched his slender fingers tightly. His knuckles were slightly red from exerting too much force. He stood up and said, "What did you say? You mean, Wuhen is still staying at Baiyu Villa? How is this possible? Birthday banquet The next day, I personally watched Wuhen leave Baiyu Villa! Even if he is still staying at Baiyu Villa, how could I not know? "
Seeing that he was a little excited, Ye Zhenfeng said, "Third Young Master, can you carefully recall what happened when Young Master Wuhen left that day?"
Li Zhuoyu's slender eyelashes trembled slightly under the light. He lowered his eyes and thought carefully, and then said slowly: "On the night of the birthday banquet, we were all drunk because we were happy. When we got up the next morning, it was already the third watch of the day. I went to Wuhen I looked for him in the room, and he said he was rushing to see someone, so he was about to say goodbye and leave. I personally sent him to the carriage, and we made an appointment to meet again during the Mid-Autumn Festival to swim in the lake and admire the moon together..."
As he spoke, he frowned slightly and thought to himself, could something really happen to Wuhen?
Ye Zhenfeng said: "Did you personally watch the carriage leave the White Jade Villa?"
"Yes."
"Is there anything strange about Young Master Wuhen when he left?"
"Nothing."
Li Zhuoyu didn't understand why Ye Zhenfeng suspected that Wuhen had disappeared from Baiyu Villa, so he said: "Master Ye, did that young master say something? Why do you insist that Wuhen did not leave Baiyu Villa?"
Ye Zhenfeng had been paying close attention to the changes in Li Zhuoyu's face. He felt that Li Zhuoyu did not know about the disappearance of Master Wuhen. If he was pretending, he really was a secretive person. The city was terrifyingly deep!
Ye Zhenfeng said: "The thing is like this, the young master suspects that his master is imprisoned in Baiyu Villa!"
"What? Imprisonment? Mr. Wuhen is my friend, why would Baiyu Villa imprison him?" Li Zhuoyu was puzzled.
Ye Zhenfeng continued: "Today at the jade appreciation meeting, the young master looked at the half of the Rakshasa. He recognized at a glance that this half of the Rakshasa was made by his master, Mr. Wuhen."
Li Zhuoyu shook his head and smiled: "Absolutely impossible! I spent a lot of money to buy it from the ancient jade shop! How could it be carved without traces?"
Ye Zhenfeng continued: "Perhaps the half-faced Rakshasa you brought back from the ancient jade shop, Third Young Master, is the half-faced Rakshasa on display today. Third Young Master is sure that it is really the half-faced Rakshasa you gave me before." ?"
Li Zhuoyu was startled, and a shuddering feeling came over his heart.
Ye Zhenfeng still said calmly: "The half-faced Rakshasa presented today, can you really tell the difference between the real thing and the fake one?"
Li Zhuoyu slowly shook his head: "If today's statue is really made by Wuhen's hand, then with his superb carving skills, I really can't tell the authenticity, but how can the young master tell the difference? Woolen cloth?"
Ye Zhenfeng pointed at his left face, and then said: "The half-faced Rakshasa's left face is carved using a technique similar to carving a ghost ball. It is ever-changing and has hidden mysteries. This kind of carving technique is called It’s called Feitian Penglai, and it’s completely unknown in the world today! Except for one person!”
"No trace!"
"You are right, it is Mr. Wuhen!"
Li Zhuoyu took a deep breath, his eyes clearly showing signs of being distracted.
Ye Zhenfeng continued:
"When it comes to carving skills, we are all laymen, but as the apprentice of Master Wuhen, Tie Muyun, the so-called puppet master, can tell that it is definitely the handiwork of his master. If Master Wuhen is really imprisoned in If he has left Baiyu Villa, he will definitely do everything possible to convey the news to the outside world and find a way to escape."
"He knows that the White Jade Villa will hold a jade appreciation conference to exhibit this half-faced Rakshasa, so he will definitely try his best to hide the mystery in the authenticity of this thing, so that the young master can recognize it at a glance. It is carved by him. Third Young Master, Do you think it’s possible for Mr. Wuhen to do this?”
Li Zhuoyu sank for a long time before saying: "With Wuhen's intelligence, he will definitely do this, and outsiders will never see any clues! Mr. Ye ... Could it be that Wuhen is really imprisoned in Baiyu Villa!"
When Ye Zhenfeng heard this, he understood that Li Zhuoyu had begun to believe his inference, and said, "No matter whether our previous inference is true or not, as Mr. Wuhen is your friend, don't you worry about him?"
"Of course I'm worried!"
"If all the previous inferences are wrong, then we are in vain to be villains and try to save a gentleman! But if this matter is true, then the lives of the third young master and Mr. Wuhen are at stake!"
At this moment, Li Zhuoyu's complexion became obviously much paler, and the drops of water dripping from his forehead made him look a little messy. His brows were wrinkled, and his grease-like forehead was covered with hesitation.
He clenched his right hand and whispered: "I understand, Mr. Ye. Mr. Wuhen is my friend. No matter whether this is true or not, I will never risk my friend's life! If Mr. Wuhen is true, If you are involved because of the Half-faced Rakshasa thing, then no matter who the person is, I can’t forgive you! Now I’ll go find Wuhen with you!”
When Ye Zhenfeng saw that Li Zhuoyu was willing to help them find Mr. Wuhen, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He stood up and said, "Without further delay, let's go!"
Li Zhuoyu took out a white fox fur and put it on, preparing to go out with Ye Zhenfeng to find someone.
Ye Zhenfeng said: "Third Young Master, apart from the Treasure Pavilion, is there any place to hide people in Baiyu Villa?"
】
Li Zhuoyu said: "If you want to hide a person, it is natural to hide him in a cell in the villa."
Ye Zhenfeng shook his head: "Third Young Master, you must be able to enter and exit the cell at will. If I imprison your friend behind your back, I will never hide him in the cell."
"What Young Master Ye said is true, but where will Wuhen be hidden?"
Ye Zhenfeng was beating the drum at the side and said: "Your father must know about the half-faced Rakshasa's fraud. If your father knows about it, do you think your eldest brother Li Qingcheng will help?"
Li Zhuoyu was shocked and said: "At the birthday banquet that day, my father seemed very happy and kept toasting to Wuhen. Wuhen was a good drinker and would not refuse anyone who came. If everything he said is true, My father must be the mastermind, and as for my eldest brother, he always listens to my father’s instructions!”
