"Brother Zheng, you also know how I feel about Yun Mei. Now that I know she has fallen in love with someone else, how can I feel at ease?" Liu Xingshuo said angrily, looking at Zheng Qingyun with an angry expression as if he had caught his wife stealing someone.
Zheng Qingyun was also very angry and retorted: "Liu Xingshuo! Don't talk nonsense, when did I fall in love with someone else... No, even if I fall in love with someone else, what does it have to do with you! If you use words to provoke me again, Don’t blame me for being rude!”
"You! Sister Yun, our childhood sweethearts, do you still want to draw your sword against me?"
Childhood sweetheart?
This sentence completely annoyed Zheng Qingyun!
He actually pulled out the thin sword hanging on his waist and pointed it at Liu Xingshuo: "Bah! You are in your Xingyun Sect, and I am in my Zangjianzhuang. Who is your childhood sweetheart! If you dare to insult me, I will draw my sword against you. So what!”
"Okay, okay! Then let me learn from you! How has Yun Mei improved over the years..." Liu Xingshuo had already lost his mind. As he spoke, he pulled out the long sword from his waist with a sound.
Seeing that the two of them were about to get serious, Zheng Yun quickly stood between them, and cupped his hands to Yu Xuanji, who had always been expressionless, and said: "Boss, since this matter has been settled, I will talk to my little sister first. I’m going back and will come back later.”
After saying that, he snatched Zheng Qingyun's sword, looked at Jiang Mu, and whispered: "I'm sorry, Brother Jiang, come to my Hidden Sword Villa another day, and I'll treat you to a drink."
As he spoke, he also pulled Zheng Qingyun's sleeve.
Zheng Qingyun also came to his senses at this time and realized that he had lost his composure. He felt embarrassed for a while and did not dare to look at Jiang Mu's face, so he quickly followed his brother and left.
Seeing that the Zheng brothers and sisters were gone, although Liu Xingshuo wanted to go up and slash Jiang Mu with his sword, but Yu Xuanji was here, he did not dare to act recklessly. He could only look at Jiang Mu, snorted heavily, and walked out of the door. .
The small courtyard that was noisy just now suddenly became deserted. Yu Xuanji sat on the stone bench, showing no expression from beginning to end.
Jiang Mu smiled awkwardly, "Well... I have only met Qingyun twice, counting this three times. We have nothing, don't get me wrong."
Yu Xuanji nodded, "It's normal for a man to be handsome and to be liked by women. You don't need to explain."
Even though he said that, his voice was a bit cold, as if he was repelling people thousands of miles away. Compared with when we parted this morning, his attitude was completely different...
Jiang Mu thought for a moment, walked to her side, bent down and looked at her, "Are you jealous?"
The word jealous first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and in this world it was the Sui Dynasty. It also refers to jealousy between men and women...
There was a fluctuation in Yu Xuanji's originally calm beautiful eyes, but he soon regained his composure and asked doubtfully: "Jealous? Why are you jealous?"
"Um...it's nothing. Let's talk about business." Jiang Mu shook his head and didn't want to say more about it. He said, "I've heard about the murder in the Jiaofang Division. How about it? Do you have any plans? ?”
"Well, I do plan to go investigate later, but..." She looked at Jiang Mu, "You are not the Immortal Master of the Demon Suppression Department, why should I tell you?"
"No, Xuanji, what you said is a bit hurtful! After all, we are also friends. I helped to catch the Painted Skin Ghost this time, okay!" Jiang Mu said.
Yu Xuanji suddenly showed a look of contempt: "Well, I did help. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have let the Painted Skin Ghost escape..."
I thought that if the house hadn't collapsed and Yu Xuanji had saved him, Painted Skin Ghost might have been caught. However, Jiang Mu didn't think so, and immediately jumped up and said: "Hey! That's not what you said! At that time, you were clearly cheating on my magic power and made me bite the tip of my tongue, but now you still blame me? No! Look at what kind of cultivation I have, good, good! I’m going to kill the donkey, right? I really think I have no temper!”
"Then I also paid for the work, and I didn't kill the donkey..." Yu Xuanji heard this and smiled. Seeing that Jiang Mu was going crazy again, he quickly said: "Okay, I'm just joking with you. , don’t take it seriously!”
Jiang Mu calmed down and sat next to her. Yu Xuanji reached out and poured him a cup of herbal tea. Then he put away his smile and said seriously: "According to the known clues, Jiaofangsi has not had any suspicious guests recently. It’s not like the four girls died at the hands of Painted Skin Ghost.”
"What do you mean..." Jiang Mu squeezed the tea cup in his hand but did not drink.
"That's right, there must be some evil spirit causing trouble!"
Painted Skin Ghost usually eats people's hearts and livers, but the bodies of the four girls were intact, as if they lost their lives in an instant, which was indeed not like Painted Skin Ghost's style.
"Later, we will visit the Jiaofang Department as guests. If you are not afraid of affecting your reputation, then come with us!"
Although she said it didn't matter, Jiang Mu could see that in her heart she wanted him to go with her, otherwise she would refuse like she did in Kanglong Village last time, but now she is just more arrogant.
After chatting with him some more details, Jiang Mu stood up and prepared to leave first, but when he reached the door, Yu Xuanji suddenly stopped him again:
"Well... don't think too much about it, I'm not jealous."
Although she concealed it well and seemed to be speaking normally, Jiang Mu still heard a trace of eagerness in her voice and couldn't help but find it a little funny: "Yeah, I know."
Just kidding, if you are really not jealous, why do you need to explain yourself?
Seeing Jiang Mu leaving, Yu Xuanji's tight grip on the tea cup suddenly relaxed, and his face showed an unprecedented solemn expression...
Jiaofangsi, originally called Jiaofangsi, flourished in the Tang Dynasty and Ming Dynasty. However, the development of this world was relatively avant-garde, and Jiaofangsi was renamed Jiaofangsi early. On the surface, it was an official agency that managed court music. In fact, secretly They also do the same things as brothels.
The difference is that brothels are open to the public, while Jiaofangsi mainly serves court officials. Of course, civilians are not inaccessible, they just have to pay more...
Jiaofangsi is distributed in both the east and west. The incident happened in Xicheng, and it happened to be not very far from "Huan Lian Ju". In order not to be recognized, Jiang Mu also deliberately changed out of the black embroidered cloud robe he usually wore, dressed up as a scholar, and then put on a mask.
However, his natural elegance could not be concealed. When they met, even Yu Xuanji couldn't help but look at him twice, and said: "If you dress like this, I'm afraid you will be suspected, so change your clothes..."
Jiang Mu was speechless, but Yu Xuanji was determined to let him change, but Jiang Mu couldn't resist and had to agree. However, what he didn't expect was that Yu Xuanji would dress him up as his follower, saying, "This way it will be less likely to arouse suspicion."
Yes, yes, just follow me. For the sake of your beauty, I won’t argue with you...
In the end, the two made a series of preparations and arrived at the West District Jiaofang Division on time.
At the door, the Zheng brothers and sisters have been waiting for a long time.
"Brother Jiang?" Zheng Qingyun looked at Jiang Mu who was following Yu Xuanji, dressed as an entourage, and called out with some uncertainty.
Jiang Mu was still wearing a black mask at this time, and she could only confirm it based on his height.
Jiang Mu nodded to her, indicating that it was him, and then said hello to Zheng Yun.
The Zheng brothers and sisters, like Yu Xuanji, all dressed up as sons of officials.
"Where is Liu Xingshuo?" Yu Xuanji couldn't help but ask as he found no sign of Liu Xingshuo.
"If you look back, Senior Brother Liu has returned to Xingyun Sect." Zheng Yun said.
Yu Xuanji frowned, "But what's the matter?"
"this..."
Zheng Yun hesitated.
"Forget it, let's get this thing over with. I'll go find the director and explain how such impetuous people can cultivate immortality!" Yu Xuanji showed displeasure.
Well...it can be seen that there should be no personal emotions involved.
Zheng Yun shook his head helplessly and didn't know what to say, so he changed the subject and said, "Sir, are we going in now?"
It's not dark yet, but due to the influence of Painted Skin Ghost, there aren't many people coming to have fun. Yu Xuanji thought for a moment and said, "Let's separate. You two brothers and sisters go first."
"Ah? Why not together?" Zheng Qingyun asked, feeling a little disappointed. He thought he could have more contact with Brother Jiang.
Yu Xuanji took out a piece of paper, like a map: "This is the blueprint of this Jiaofang Department. It is divided into two floors. You are responsible for the second floor. Mr. Jiang and I are on the first floor. Remember to use communication symbols to contact us. Don’t startle the grass and scare the snake!”
"Don't worry, head. As soon as we discover anything, we will notify you as soon as possible." Zheng Yun looked at the map and kept it in mind.
Zheng Qingyun wanted to say something more, but seeing Yu Xuanji blocking Jiang Mu with a serious look on her face, she retracted her hand and said, "Then my brother and I will go in. Brother Jiang, Master Yu, you also have to be careful. ..."
After seeing the two Zheng brothers and sisters entering, Jiang Mu couldn't help but whisper: "I said... Actually, there is no need to separate. Although there are two floors inside, it is not that big. At most, it is similar to Chunyin Pavilion. "
Yu Xuanji glanced at him expressionlessly: "Why, are you reluctant to let go of the Zheng family's young lady?"
"What are you talking about? I've been here before... Well, I mean it's really not big inside. Forget it, let's not mention it for now. Let's make it clear that I am not a prostitute in my profession. I will go inside later. If you If you want to get involved with yourself, I won’t accompany you.”
Yu Xuanji's eyes became more and more contemptuous, as if he was saying, "I didn't expect you to be such a person..."
The two of them waited at the door until it got dark. During this period, Jiang Mu talked to her, but Yu Xuanji ignored her. It was not until they entered that he said: "Since you come here often, you must be familiar with it, so I'll let you lead the way, Mr. Jiang!"
What frequents, who frequents, I’ve only been there once, okay!
Jiang Mu sniffed, forget it, didn't bother to explain, took her arm, raised his legs and walked in.
Follower, follower who is pretending to be a fool!
With so many people and many eyes, Yu Xuanji couldn't react too violently, so he could only let him pull...
