Cypress Boat Floating

Chapter 134 Someone Like Ye Jianqing

Lu Ci Qiu didn’t know what Lu Zhixing said or did during this trip with Lu Mingyi, but he was willing to believe Lu Zhixing.

After Lu Zhixing came back, he was told not to be so hostile towards Lu Mingyi, after all, he was his brother. So he listened to Lu Zhixing and restrained his hostility towards Lu Mingyi a little, but it still showed a little in his daily life.

But Lu Mingyi seemed to not care at all. He still greeted Lu Ci Qiu with a smile every day, as if he really treated Lu Ci Qiu as his younger brother. Lu Ci Qiu was annoyed by this feeling, but did not dare to say much. He could only discuss with Ye Jianqing occasionally and chat about the other party's intentions.

Lu Mingyi's visit to the Dali Temple made many people in the court curious. Since the Fifth Prince came to court, he has been following behind the Crown Prince. No one has ever heard of him having any contact with the King of Qin. He suddenly went to the Dali Temple for no apparent reason...

Whether people have already chosen sides or not, they are all waiting and watching to see what is going on. Did the Crown Prince abandon the Fifth Prince, or did the Fifth Prince feel that there is no hope with the Crown Prince and choose the Prince of Qin.

The few people who knew all of this still went about their own business every day. The Crown Prince and the King of Qin still acted nice to each other on the surface, but couldn't help but speak sarcastic words to each other, as if they wished they could send the other person home to be angry for several days.

However, the case of the Cult of the Gods had not made any further progress. The legend of the shrine was still circulating in the streets every day, but no one could go into the shrine to find out what was inside. Lu Zhixing was almost depressed to death, as he, a prince, could not actually find the whereabouts of the shrine.

"Second brother, didn't you talk to Zhang Shunbo last time? You still can't find the location of the shrine?" Lu Ci Qiu slumped in the chair. He was really exhausted in the past few days. After Lu Zhixing finished talking with Zhang Shunbo, he asked him to find the shrine based on Zhang Shunbo's confession, but what was the result?

He and Ye Jianqing had been running for several days, but they didn't even see the eaves of the shrine. Today, he was really tired from running, so he brought Ye Jianqing to Lu Zhixing to ask for a cup of tea.

"He has no impression of the shrine. His memory is confused. He only remembers that the shrine granted his wish and let him go back. He doesn't even know how Liu the Butcher died." Speaking of this, Lu Zhixing's brows furrowed again.

When he went to see Zhang Shunbo in the prison that day, Zhang Shunbo's mental state was obviously not right. He was in a trance and kept mumbling. It was hard to make him sober up. He didn't know anything when asked. It was as if he had taken Wu Shi San. However, Wu Shi San had been banned long ago, and no one in the public had the ability to obtain this medicine.

Then why is Zhang Shunbo like this?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhixing rubbed his temples with a headache. This house of gods is really full of troubles, but there is a way to prevent the Dali Temple from catching him. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. The angrier he got, the more he thought about it. Lu Zhixing was so angry that he threw his face on the spot and slammed his hand heavily on the table: "This won't work. If we continue like this, we will fall down before we catch the person."

"Then second brother, do you have any good ideas?" Lu Ci Qiu weakly raised his eyelids and looked at him, then quickly closed them again. He really had no strength left.

"We still have the poisonous insect in our hands, so we can start with it. I have sent someone to the Miao village to deliver a letter to the great elder. Just wait for the great elder's reply." Lu Zhixing sighed deeply. In fact, he was not sure whether the great elder would tell him the truth in time. Everything in front of his eyes was gray.

Lu Ci Qiu had rested enough, and knowing that Lu Zhixing had been very annoyed recently, he did not dare to stay here for too long and make him unhappy. He quickly took Ye Jianqing and said goodbye, for fear that Lu Zhixing would assign him another task.

Ye Jianqing was not tired, she had run a lot, so this distance was not a big deal for her, but every time she went to a place, it was all in vain, which was quite disappointing. It was okay once or twice, but if it happened like this for several days in a row, she would feel very tired, as if no matter how hard she tried to look, it was useless.

She wanted to help, but her status, position, ability and power here were not as great as theirs. If she went to look for it alone, she might not find anything. It would be better for her to just listen to the instructions. Ye Jianqing saw this very clearly.

"What should we do now?" After the two got on the carriage, Lu Ci Qiu leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. Seeing the look on his face when he just talked to Lu Zhixing, Ye Jianqing couldn't help but ask a question.

He hadn't slept much in the past two days and was almost dying of sleep. He could barely open his eyes, but when he heard Ye Jianqing's voice, he opened his eyes the first time, even though he was very sleepy. Although he only opened them a crack: "Let's go home and sleep now!"

Ye Jianqing had a puzzled look on his face. That's it? That's it? That...

"Aren't you sleepy?" Ye Jianqing was confused as to why Lu Ci Qiu was still thinking about sleeping. Lu Ci Qiu was confused as he had stayed up all night last night. Following Zhang Shunbo's clues, he went to the pharmacy and squatted all night, but found nothing. He was almost sleepy to death, but Ye Jianqing didn't look sleepy at all.

"It's...it's okay." Ye Jianqing really felt that it was okay. It was just that he hadn't slept for one night. Was that strange?

In order to prevent herself from slacking off, she would sometimes secretly train late at night when Lu Ci Qiu wasn't paying attention - training without sleeping.

It was nothing at first, but after Lu Ci Qiu said that, she actually started yawning.

"You must be sleepy too. Let's go home and have some sleep first, and then talk about the matter of the Cult of the Gods. I have a feeling this matter won't be over so soon. It's not easier to investigate than the previous cases." As Lu Ci Qiu spoke, he closed his eyes again, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

Seeing him like this, Ye Jianqing was helpless and could only help him move his head slightly, so that at least he could sleep more comfortably during this time in the carriage.

Ye Jianqing closed his eyes but did not fall asleep. His mind kept going over what had happened in the past six months.

Xinri: One is an unknown organization hiding in the dark. In the end, Lu Ciqiu will die in their hands. However, they don’t even know who their opponent is, where they are, or what they look like. It is even possible that the people around them are in this organization. They are in the light, and Xinri is in the dark. They can only defend themselves.

Shenling Cult: A mysterious cult that suddenly appeared in the capital, claiming to be able to fulfill everyone's wishes. The wishes were fulfilled, but it was unknown how they were fulfilled.

Each and every one of them is so weird and unpredictable that it gives him a headache just thinking about it. Lu Ci Qiu is also worried that Jiang Wanyin will hurt his brother, so he has to be on guard against her.

Thinking of Jiang Wanyin, Ye Jianqing felt a headache again. The other party was a time traveler. Although she was not very reassured about her, she still had a sense of fellow countryman in her. She always wanted to help her if she could, to prevent the other party from surviving well in this ancient time where people were eaten without leaving any bones. Of course, if she wanted to kill herself, that would be another matter.

It's annoying. It's annoying. Ye Jianqing really feels annoyed.

The Dali Temple was not far from Prince Xian’s Mansion. Before Ye Jianqing could finish his annoyance, the carriage stopped. They had arrived.

Seeing that Lu Ci Qiu was sleeping soundly, Ye Jianqing didn't want to disturb him, so he lifted the curtain on his side and took a look.

this......

It’s not the Prince Xian’s Palace.

It was the back door of Chunmanlou. She had been here countless times and was very familiar with it.

"Uncle Lin, what's going on?" The man who was pulling the carriage for Lu Ci Qiu was Uncle Lin, who had just entered the mansion some time ago. He was probably in his forties, with dark skin. One could tell at a glance that he had come out from the fields to find a job. He was an honest man and said that he had driven horses for the landlord before. When Lu Ci Qiu saw him, he felt soft-hearted and agreed to let him in.

This Lin Bo never made mistakes on weekdays, why today...

"Girl, didn't you tell me to bring you here?" Uncle Lin's honest voice came into the carriage. His words gave Ye Jianqing goose bumps. She had never told Uncle Lin that she wanted to come to Chunmanlou.

It seems that someone doesn't want Lu Ci Qiu to have a good sleep.

Ye Jianqing patted Lu Ciqiu to wake him up. Lu Ciqiu looked at Ye Jianqing innocently with sleepy eyes: "What's wrong?"

“We were sold out.”

"???"

Ye Jianqing has given a good interpretation of how to make people sober with just one sentence.

Lu Ci Qiu rubbed his eyes, followed Ye Jianqing's gaze, and lifted a corner of the curtain beside her, "Aren't we going back home? Why are we here in Chun Man Lou?"

"Uncle Lin said I told him to do that this morning." Ye Jianqing pointed outside the car. She was no longer sure if the person outside the car was Uncle Lin.

All of a sudden, her mind recalled many TV dramas she had watched before, such as someone killing a coachman, then pretending to be a coachman and driving a carriage to kill the man in the wilderness, or a coachman colluding with others to murder his master. A bunch of things flashed through her mind.

"Bad luck." Ye Jianqing cursed softly, not knowing whether he was cursing the person who asked them to come, or someone else.

"I'll go down and take a look." Seeing that Ye Jianqing seemed to be about to get up and go out, Lu Ci Qiu quickly reached out and pushed her down.

"Let's go together. At least we can look after each other when we are together." Ye Jianqing did not resist his desire to protect her, but she still felt that when encountering such a situation, it would be best for both of them to be together. If the two of them were separated, they would easily be defeated one by one.

"Okay." Lu Ci Qiu nodded, and he walked in front of Ye Jianqing and got off the carriage.

There was no one outside the carriage except Uncle Lin. Uncle Lin was still as honest as ever, and his tired eyes were full of confusion: "My Lord, Miss, what happened?"

Ye Jianqing walked up to him and asked, "Uncle Lin, you said I asked you to come here. When did I tell you that?"

Lin Bo scratched his head, as if he couldn't understand why he had clearly followed his master's instructions, but ended up with nothing good: "During the time at the Dali Temple, you asked me to bring you and the prince here later."

"That person told you this in person using my face?" This is not good news.

"The person who told me about this had the same figure and clothes as you. Although she had a veil on her face, I vaguely thought it was you."

Ye Jianqing was silent.

If this is the case, then things will be a bit difficult to handle.
