The next day, Qiao Hui went to the Forbidden Palace, but passed by Grand Princess Bai'an. Standing sideways outside the solemn and tall Yihe Hall, the man with a shiny beard whispered to Qiao Hui: "... Prince Changning's younger brother Xiao Qi has been ill for quite some time. It is said that he can't even stand up. Grand Princess Bai'an left for Gansu yesterday, and the court didn't say anything."
The former King of Changning, Xiao Yue, was the second husband of Princess Bai'an.
Qiao Hui frowned, his expression gloomy and unclear.
Liangliang lowered his voice: "Is there something urgent?"
Qiao Hui then briefly told the story of a man with extremely high martial arts skills following and spying on Xian Jin. Liang Liang was so angry that he pulled his beard and said, "Who dares to touch our bamboo poles!"
Qiao Hui: ...
Xianjin kept calling the bearded Liangliang "Tibetan Fox" and used a reed pen to hastily draw a few lines as a reference.
The fox with a broad face, squinting eyes and a full mane that comes to life on the paper is indeed similar to Hu Hualiang.
In order to please Xianjin, Qiao Hui always referred to Hu Hualiang as "Brother Zanghu".
Now, hearing the nickname "Bamboo Pole", Qiao Hui's remaining guilt for calling him "Brother Zanghu" was completely gone.
Should!
I should call you Brother Zanghu!
The bearded man narrowed his already narrow eyes, "We investigated the masters of the capital before entering the capital. There are seven or eight top-notch ones in the Imperial Guards. Although the Capital Command where you are is a rich place, there are also one or two good ones. Although the other lords and generals have their own assassins, their martial arts are definitely not as good as you say..."
Bearded man Liangliang didn't want to think about the problem, and said decisively: "Assign two people from the Imperial Guards to protect our bamboo poles - if we can capture the peeping person alive, we will capture him alive, if not, we will just chop him to death!"
Qiao Hui thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
We don't know whether the newcomer is a friend or an enemy, so there's no need to test him. Anyone hiding his head and tail is a coward, so it's most convenient to kill him directly.
Qiao Hui stood up and walked out. Bearded man Liangliang thought for a long time and suddenly remembered that there was another place where three top masters were hiding.
......
Qiao Hui came out of the Forbidden Palace. A tall red carriage with a red tassel and a gold-stamped green cloth drove out from the streets outside Chongming Gate. A clear and charming voice came from behind: "Cousin!"
Qiao Hui turned around and saw Zhou Yiwu, the third daughter of Ningyuan Hou, leaning out of the carriage window. She paused and stood sideways with her hands behind her back, "Third cousin."
Zhou Yiwu seemed very happy about this chance encounter: "I just went to the east to buy rouge! Why are you here!" Then he jumped off the carriage very swiftly, holding two icy bamboo tubes in his hands, and handed one to Qiao Hui: "I bought it when I passed by Tongshun intersection. It's iced ginger honey water - the weather is really hot!"
Qiao Hui took it with one hand, his brows furrowed, and after a "hmm" he said, "I just came out of the palace."
"Cousin, can you please take me home?" Zhou Yiwu's eyes were clear and her expression was pure: "The sky is dark and the clouds are gray. I'm afraid there will be a rainstorm!"
As he finished speaking, he muttered: "The capital is a little bad. Once it rains, it's crowded everywhere. It's hot and crowded now, and people are squeezed here and there..."
Qiao Hui's eyes were gloomy and he said "hmm" again as a response.
Zhou Yiwu took a sip of the ginger honey water, sighed with satisfaction, and turned to look at Qiao Hui: "Drink it quickly, it won't taste good if it's not cold."
Qiao Hui looked at Zhou Yiwu for a moment, whispered "OK", and then raised his head to drink water.
Zhou Yiwu was relieved and delighted: her cousin didn't like sweet food, but he was willing to drink the ginger honey water she bought...——This will definitely work! Her uncle and mother are siblings from the same mother, and her uncle has always protected her mother and father. If this matter is exposed, it will be for her life. She will be able to marry into the Zhongwu Marquis's mansion with dignity!
Zhou Yiwu then walked slowly towards the East City, tilting her head all the way as she talked about the game of chuiwan the day before, and how no other rich girl in the capital was better than her. She also pestered Qiao Hui to buy a tumbler doll made of white clay from a peddler on the street.
Qiao Hui behind her followed her steps, and the carriage harnessed to the tall horses also moved slowly with the clatter of a button.
It wasn't a long distance, but it took nearly an hour to walk.
Walk to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion at the east corridor of Qiuqifang, bypass the second gate, there is a remote corner gate. A square space is carved out of the white wall and blocked by a square wooden fence. It is used every day, mostly to transport filth and slop.
Zhou Yiwu glanced at the corner gate and said innocently, "The day before yesterday, at the East Suburb Grassland, the girls from the Pei family, the Gong Guojiu family, the Cheng En Marquis's Mansion... more than ten families all went there, and I still got a chance to get a head of a hammer..."
"Yes."
Qiao Hui's voice was hoarse, and with his hands behind his back, he finally spoke.
Zhou Yiwu was stunned, and suddenly an unnatural expression appeared on his face: "Oh! Oh - did I say that?"
Zhou Yiwu glanced at Qiao Hui secretly from the corner of her eyes, and saw that the handsome young man was still walking behind her leisurely, with a calm temperament and eyes as bright as torches. He seemed to see through her when he raised his eyes——
Is it time to fall?
Admiral Huang said that the drug was colorless and tasteless, and just a little astringent when taken to the mouth. Ordinary people would not notice it at all, but it was so powerful that it could even knock out big fish in the sea. People who make a living on the sea often put this animal drug into bait, so that if they encounter a big fish, the boat will not be overturned while the fish struggles.
She specially calculated Qiao Hui's body shape and the walking distance from Chongming Gate to Qiuqifang, and prescribed the right dosage.
The time should be just right?
Why...hasn't he fallen yet?
Zhou Yiwu was a little anxious. She subconsciously looked back at the carriage and said in a tender voice, "Oh, I forgot to buy eyebrow pencil! Cousin, please accompany me to buy another one!"
However, Qiao Hui did not move, but stood there quietly.
"What do you want to do?" Qiao Hui's voice was hoarse, and his expressionless face, the accumulated momentum of blood and lives behind him, rose sharply: "Drugated ginger honey water,
Deliberately delaying time, calculating the time and waiting for me outside Chongming Gate..."
Zhou Yiwu's back was covered with cold sweat, and he immediately said in defense: "Cousin, what are you talking about!"
"The ginger honey water is ice cold."
Qiao Hui interrupted Zhou Yiwu coldly, "Tongshun Road is at least half an hour away from Chongming Gate. You bought it at Tongshun Road and then went to Chongming Gate. The cold drink couldn't have been cold. You waited outside Chongming Gate for a long time, and only bought the cold drink on the roadside after you heard that I had passed Ganhe Gate."
"I don't know where you got the 'marlin powder' from, but you seem to have forgotten that although I have only been in Fujian for two years, I got my start among pirates - I know what these rotten drugs are without even taking a sip."
"You're walking around so that you can wait for the drug to take effect, right?"
"You tried to knock me out. What for?"
Qiao Hui's eyebrows were cold. He glanced at the carriage out of the corner of his eye, suddenly exerted force, walked quickly to the front of the carriage and quickly lifted the curtain.
A short but strong man was hiding in the carriage.
"General Huang?"
Qiao Hui frowned.
