Chapter 114: A leaf obstructs the eyes, but Mount Tai is not seen

As soon as Jiang Lan's martial arts recovered, she immediately began to meditate and practice. Her physical foundation is good, and now she is working hard. She has never practiced martial arts voluntarily with her body and mind, so the process of recovering her internal strength is very fast.

At this time, the date of signing the agreement was not far away. Suddenly, a young servant came in and reported that the shopkeeper of Chu's firm had come to visit Master Xia's fiancée.

Xia Henqiu was surprised, Xia Zi blushed, and Jiang Lan was very calm, she nodded and said solemnly: "Please invite him in." Then she looked back at Xia Zi, and said confidently: "I think the status of a close-fitting maid is in the There is not enough here, so I borrowed the name of your fiancée without authorization, you can rest assured that it will be returned when it is used up, and you will never suffer losses."

Xia Henqiu laughed, "I don't have a fiancee."

Jiang Lan smiled and said, "So no one will bother you, so it's just for the sake of brothers and friends. Let's make a deal. Now let me use it for a while, and it will be invalid when we return to the Heavenly Dynasty."

Without waiting for Xia Henqiu's answer, she went out to see the shopkeeper.

And here, Xia Zi was angry and shamed and told Xia Henqiu about that incident one by one. He thought it was over, so he didn't want to complain. Who knew there would be a sequel.

He thought that Xia Henqiu would be furious, but he didn't know that the smile on his face was still the same.

Jiang Lan stood still in front of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper bowed and saluted, "I have offended you a lot last time, please don't mind my wife. My master is waiting for my wife in Liuyun Tower, and I hope my wife will appreciate it."

Jiang Lan smiled back, "The shopkeeper is very kind, please lead the way."

As soon as the words were finished, Xia Henqiu walked behind her, raised her hand and tucked the hair on her cheek behind her ear, and said, "It's just fine, I'll take you there." The gesture was casual and the tone was kind.

Jiang Lan turned back, Xia Henqiu was full of anticipation and love, shook his head almost invisible, grabbed her hand and walked out the door without waiting for her answer. Jiang Lan immediately understood his intention, and did not shake his hand.

If the shopkeeper had some doubts at first, because according to the information he inquired, the Xia Envoy only brought a personal maid and no fiancée at all, but now, his doubts have been eliminated, seeing is believing, hearing is believing Xu, officials always have some special hobbies, and now it seems that the fiancée is in a good relationship.

Xia Zi was waiting outside the door, and when he saw the two holding hands, his eyes were about to fall, so he turned his head quickly, so as not to ruin their good deeds.

Xia Henqiu put Jiang Lan half-carried on the carriage with a friendly attitude, and Xia Zi drove the carriage and set off.

"You are so dedicated." Jiang Lan sighed that he was more professional than her when he played his fiancé.

Xia Henqiu picked up the scroll and covered half of his face, "I do one line and love one line."

The carriage soon arrived at Chu's Liuyun Building, a large restaurant in the downtown area.

Jiang Lan was about to get off the carriage, but Xia Henqiu grabbed her arm, "Be careful."

"I know." Jiang Lan smiled, opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage neatly. It would be good if he recovered his martial arts. Even if it wasn't his heyday, he was as light as a swallow, and in Nanman, no one knew her at all, so there was no need for her. Hide your strength.

Xia Henqiu jumped lightly when she saw her dismount, and she was very familiar with her movements and movements. Their martial arts really were in the same line. This was clearly known from the day he gave her internal power, so there was some kind of connection between them. , Xia Henqiu fell into deep thought.

And Xia Zi didn't hear the master's order, so he drove the carriage to the side of the road and waited.

Jiang Lan followed the shopkeeper to the private room on the second floor and stood outside the door. There was a young man waiting in the private room. This man was Shangguanhong's husband.

He bowed his hands and saluted, "Mrs. Xia's invitation, I haven't been far away to welcome you, please forgive Zhuang for being rude."

Jiang Lan returned the salute, "Young Master Zhuang is polite, it was me who disturbed me first."

The two sat opposite each other, and the table had already been set up. Once they were seated, a waiter filled the wine and backed away.

Master Zhuang said straight to the point, "I heard that Madam Xia wants to do business with the Southern Man and the Celestial Dynasty, why did you choose our Chu family?"

Jiang Lan said: "The Chu clan of the Celestial Dynasty is very strong, and the same should be true of the Nanman Chu clan who want to come from the same line. The reputation and strength should be the first among the southern barbarians."

The man shook his head, "I think Madam doesn't know the Nanman Chu family very well."

"Why?" Jiang Lan wondered.

The man said slowly, "Our Chu clan is different from the Celestial dynasty. The Chu clan of the Celestial dynasty is only under the command of Chu Qingcheng, while the southern barbarian Chu clan has already split." He paused, "You must have heard of it before. The head of the family, Zhuang Mei, was lost in the Celestial Dynasty, so he was also lost along with the order of the head of the family. At that time, Chu Qingcheng was still small and could not control our Nanman, so our Nanman Chu clan was actually independent, and even split later. I am very curious, Why did Madam choose me?"

Jiang Lan was shocked, and she was speechless for a while. She thought that the Chu family here was the one who had the final say, but she never thought that the Chu family here has been divided, and the glory of Zhuang Mei has become history.

The man nodded, "I don't think Madam has a good understanding of it, but this is also our fate. If Madam is willing to continue, we can have a good talk. Although I have never done business with the Celestial Dynasty, this is not a precedent. Knowing that there is a Chu family that has done well, they also claim that their master has the order of the Nanman Patriarch..."

Jiang Lan interrupted him, "Oh, so you have to obey them?"

The man laughed, "Madam is joking, no one has ever seen the order of the head of the house they said, it is said to be in the hands of someone from the Celestial Dynasty, who would believe such a clumsy lie? ."

Jiang Lan felt a shock in his heart, and vaguely felt that this was not the case, maybe they were telling the truth. She asked: "If they really show the patriarch's order, will you Nanban Chu clan be united?"

"Neither," he shook his head, "unless he presents both the decree of the patriarch of the Celestial Dynasty and the patriarch of the Nanman, then all the Chu clan of the Celestial Dynasty and the Nanman will all be loyal to him, but how is this possible? So, my Chu clan is still me. After all, don't worry madam, don't make a decision first, go back and think about it."

Jiang Lan nodded, her face was calm, but her heart was like cooking oil on fire. She felt that she was already standing on the edge of the truth, but she couldn't see clearly through a layer of mist. She was skeptical but reluctant to believe it, because the reasons seemed obvious but puzzling, and there were details that could not be explained. But the facts seem to be right in front of you, and only in this way can it seem to make sense in general, and some doubts can be easily resolved.

She always thought that she was a guinea pig who strayed into the house fight and became the victim of the house fight, but now that she thinks about it, she feels that she is very wrong. She may be the victim of Zhaidou, but this may be exactly what this person wants to see, caused by single-handedly.

She has always loved reading. Before the computer, she read martial arts in elementary school and world famous novels in middle school. Later, she became fascinated with detective novels. Agatha, Conan Doyle, and Masayoshi Henggou were all her favorites. After that, she became fascinated with online novels and entered the world of house fighting, fantasy, and romance. Why did she think that she was just fighting? This is clearly a murder that has been premeditated step by step.

It's really a blindfold, and I can't see Mount Tai.

******

ps: In fact, everyone must already know who the real murderer is. The author's level is so bad that he can't last until now. Forget it, we are a romance novel.
