Chapter 222: Disappearance
The sunset outside the house is very beautiful, with a red ribbon spreading out, and half of the sky looks like a finely painted fairyland oil painting.
Lin Junhuai had locked himself in his bedroom for half a day. The table, the floor, and even the bed were filled with messily flipped books. If you looked carefully, you would find that they contained all kinds of exquisite analyses of craftsmanship.
He watched Tan Zhou taking slow, deep breaths, his pale eyes and brows showing a stubborn spirit of not wanting to admit defeat. He patted his dizzy head with one hand, stood up and walked out of the house, deciding to relax for a while.
The food in the house smelled delicious. Qiu Chan came out of the kitchen and hurriedly invited Lin Junhuai to eat: "Master, I was just about to call you!"
Lin Junhuai picked up the bowl and chopsticks and looked around: "Where are the others?"
Shen Sinian is not here because he has to be with Yuzhu all the time, but why haven’t Yanyu and Qichi come back yet?
Qiu Chan served the last dish of bamboo shoots and fern, and stood aside in a reserved manner and replied respectfully: "Master Yan and Master Qi are out for fun and haven't come back yet."
In fact, it was not a trip, but a serious business. The two dressed up as weak little white lotuses and investigated the matter of children refining snakes outside, while wandering around trying to be caught in the enemy camp.
Lin Junhuai bit the tip of his chopsticks and smiled brightly, his voice full of joking: "Hey, without my stunning beauty, I don't know if others can appreciate their faces."
Qiu Chan was amused by him and laughed.
"Stop working and come and have dinner together."
"No need, no need. You are a noble man. How can I…?"
Qiu Chan waved her hands quickly, and was stunned halfway through her words. Seeing the boy's half-smile, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Lin Junhuai teased, "Girl, don't refuse. Brother Xiaolin told you in his letter to have enough braised pork. Why don't you try the one you cooked yourself?"
Mohists advocated universal love and would not treat people differently just because of their low status. Although Qiu Chan positioned himself as a slave, in Lin Junhuai's eyes, they were all people who worked hard to live like him. Aren't the people all the same? Why can't they sit at the same table to eat?
Qiu Chan's eyes were sore. When she admitted defeat at the end of the competition, she thought she would not live anymore, so she acted coquettishly to Chunhua and said she wanted to eat braised pork, and Chunhua remembered it.
After someone was sent to rescue her, she was allowed to eat as much braised pork as she wanted.
"How can I repay you..."
She murmured softly.
Lin Junhuai brought her bowl and chopsticks and smiled cheerfully: "It's not a small matter."
Normally, the price of one of his robes is enough for Qiu Chan to eat for a year, not to mention that this money is just a drizzle for him. Since he is willing to spend it, it has nothing to do with Qiu Chan.
Why not use your extra money to help others?
Qiu Chan happily narrowed his eyes into crescent shapes while chewing the braised pork. Everything that happened during this period of time should be the most memorable thing for the rest of his life.
Although he was a noble man, Lin Junhuai was not arrogant at all. He always raised his baby face and told funny stories to make people happy.
After finishing his meal, he rubbed his bulging belly and sighed, "Ah, I haven't seen her since Brother Xiaolin entered the palace. She is so heartless that a King of Southern Xinjiang is unwilling to go home because of her seduction."
"Eh? But why haven't they come back yet at this hour?"
Normally, I should have come back a long time ago.
Just as he was wondering, a small and exquisite mechanical bird flew in from the window. Lin Junhuai's eyes lit up and he hurried over to take off the note.
[The King of Southern Xinjiang is furious because his treasure was stolen. The entire city has been completely sealed off. Please be careful in the next few days.]
The vigorous and powerful writing came from Shen Sinian's hand. Not only that, the palace was also conducting a strict search. Jun Lin completely cut off contact with them, and Shen Sinian would stay by Yuzhu's side obediently. Lin Junhuai rubbed his brows and sighed. It seemed that this Tanzhu was really extraordinary.
"Young Master!"
Qiu Chan came over with another bird in his hands and said anxiously, "Stop at the door!"
Lin Junhuai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Please spare me, and stop giving me news that I don't want to hear."
He said this but looked at the note seriously.
[Qi Chi has gone missing. I am tracking him down. I have found some clues about the matter of refining the pig.]
This message was undoubtedly sent by Yu Yu.
Lin Jun was confused: "Is this good news or bad news?"
"Everyone is busy, so I can't slack off."
He muttered as he walked into the inner room, and Qiu Chan didn't dare to disturb him.
The power of Tanzhou must be broken.
What secrets were hidden inside that made the usually panic-stricken King of Southern Xinjiang so confused? And why was the core mechanism of the public loser encrypted? Everything made his eyes sparkle.
interesting.
The boy stretched his back and smiled: "Oh my, this pool of water is really thick."
Not only is it boiling, it's also bottomless.
…
The night is dark. There is no moon tonight, and it is pitch black outside like a haze that cannot be dispersed. There is no wind to blow it away, and it just hangs over the whole area.
The cage is covering the days of regret and pain in my heart.
No, what kind of golden day and jade words are these? Have I really been arrested?
He blinked his bright eyes and looked around. There were children imprisoned in cages, as well as a dozen pretty girls, all of whom had empty eyes and dull expressions.
Qi Chi's memory went back an hour.
He and Yu Yu would go to different towns every day to gather information, and today was no exception. Although Yu Yu had been dressed as a woman for so long, she still couldn't get used to the young man's steps. When passers-by saw her, she would blush and feel embarrassed. Qi Chi had no choice but to counsel her: "Relax!"
Yanyu pursed her lips and her eyelashes trembled.
It’s okay to wear women’s clothes, but it’s absolutely not okay to run around and be stared at like a monkey!
His frame and body size are both bigger than Qi Chi's, and the two of them walking together look like an older sister and a younger sister. In addition, Qi Chi is very handsome, shy and thin-skinned by nature, and at this moment he is even more shy as he avoids the sight of others, which makes passers-by fall in love with him.
She is an intelligent and gentle big sister!
Who doesn’t love it!
Anyway, I definitely don't like the shameful jade that is about to burrow into the cracks in the ground.
He clenched his teeth for a long time before he trembled and said, "This method won't work. We have been investigating for so many days and still have no news. Why would the other party take action just because they saw a weak woman?"
"How about I change back into men's clothes tomorrow and pretend to be your bodyguard?"
Facing his beautiful hopes, Qi Chi gave him a sweet smile and ruthlessly crushed them: "No way!"
The prettier boy in women's clothing held a round fan against his nose to cover his face. The red tassels on the fan handle swayed slightly, making his exposed wrist look even whiter. He said slyly, "Sister Yun, please take smaller steps, don't cover your chest all the time, and tuck your hair behind your ears to show your face!"
Qi Chi was innocent and playful: "Girls should not show such an expression that makes you want to be bullied, otherwise there will be bad guys on the street who will attack you secretly!"
Yanyu was startled and looked around vigilantly, fearing that her chastity might be lost.
Not to mention, there were actually a few thugs who targeted him and were planning to follow him to a less crowded place and then attack him.
